The Wheel of Time (2021)
Best Prime Video series out there!
Amazon Prime's The Wheel of Time series is a captivating adaptation, yes an adaptation, not an exact copy of Robert Jordan's beloved fantasy novels. The show blends rich world-building with compelling characters, creating a visually stunning and immersive experience. Rosamund Pike delivers a powerful performance as Moiraine, anchoring the series with her enigmatic and determined portrayal. The balance between action, magic, and character development is well executed, pulling viewers into the vast and intricate universe. The visual effects, set designs, and costumes are top-notch, enhancing the show's epic feel. While some deviations from the books exist, the series captures the heart of the story, making it a must-watch for both fans and newcomers.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (2022)
Great story and just Epic!
The rings of power is a visually stunning and epic return to Tolkien's world, weaving together rich lore with breathtaking scenery. The show's intricate storytelling offers a deep dive into Middle-earth's history, exploring the rise of Sauron and the forging of the rings with an impressive cast and top-tier production. I think lots of people are just too dumb to understand a good story... They only want mindless action scenes, just open your mind to the story, patience is key here. The narrative slowly builds, rewarding those who appreciate a well-crafted tale. Giving up after just one episode is sad; the story is just getting started, with layers of plot and character development that promise a truly epic journey.
Season 2 is already a step up after 3 episodes, we know the story, the city's, the characters, and now the rings come in place... Let's see where it leads us.
Remember, it's a series and not a movie. We can't have all the pieces of the puzzle in the first episode.
Alien: Romulus (2024)
It's ok, nothing more.
I just came back from the theatre so after watching these are my thoughts. Alien Romulus is a mixed bag that left me confused at times. The film feels like a mashup of the original 4 movies, trying to recreate the magic but failing to bring anything fresh to the table. The overacting Gen Z actors make it hard to take the story seriously, and while it attempts to build tension, it's not that scary in the end. There are some nostalgic moments for fans of the franchise, but overall, it doesn't live up to its predecessors. It's an okay watch, but don't expect it to capture the essence of what made the original films iconic. I was hoping for more sadly....
A Quiet Place: Day One (2024)
The best of the franchise so far!
First of all, I'm a huge fan of the first Quiet place (2018) and part two (2021). First of all, no this movie does not explain how the aliens came to earth or what their motive is. This movie is about the beginning of the 'invasion'. The movie is centered around a woman and her brave cat who gets trapped in the city while the aliens attack. I'm not going to get into details of the movie so I don't spoil anything.
In my opinion, this movie is the best of the franchise to date, it's so good exiting and scary. Please don't mind the bad reviews, these people don't know a good movie.
The true star of the movie is the cat! Go and watch it.
Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987)
Iconic series, a must watch!
"Star Trek: The Next Generation" (TNG) is a quintessential science fiction series that stands out for its profound storytelling, complex characters, and visionary themes. Set in the 24th century, it follows the voyages of the starship USS Enterprise-D, helmed by the charismatic Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played impeccably by Patrick Stewart. The ensemble cast, including Jonathan Frakes as Commander Riker, Brent Spiner as the android Data, and LeVar Burton as Chief Engineer Geordi La Forge, delivers consistently compelling performances that bring depth and humanity to their characters.
TNG excels in its exploration of moral and philosophical dilemmas, often delving into topics like artificial intelligence, cultural diversity, and the essence of humanity. Episodes such as "The Measure of a Man" and "The Inner Light" highlight the show's ability to blend thought-provoking narratives with emotional resonance. The series also boasts impressive special effects and set designs that, despite the era's technological limitations, convincingly depict a futuristic universe.
The show's ability to balance episodic adventures with overarching storylines, such as the recurring threat of the Borg or the political intricacies of the Romulan Empire, keeps viewers engaged and invested. The development of inter-character relationships, particularly the mentor-student dynamic between Picard and Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheaton) or the evolving friendship between Data and La Forge, adds layers of interpersonal drama that enrich the viewing experience.
Moreover, TNG's optimistic vision of the future, where humanity has overcome many of its contemporary struggles and is united in the pursuit of exploration and understanding, resonates deeply with audiences. Its emphasis on diplomacy, ethics, and the betterment of society presents a hopeful contrast to the often dystopian themes prevalent in other science fiction works.
In summary, "Star Trek: The Next Generation" is a landmark series that not only expanded the Star Trek universe but also left an indelible mark on the science fiction genre. Its blend of intellectual stimulation, emotional depth, and visionary storytelling makes it a timeless classic worthy of repeated viewings.
The Watchers (2024)
I was hooked from the start, good movie!
"The Watchers," is a masterclass in modern horror filmmaking. Director Ishana Night Shyamalan, daughter of famed director M. Night Shyamalan, delivers a chilling and atmospheric tale that grips the audience from start to finish. The movie felt a bit like the ritual or the Blair Witch project.

The film's score, composed by the talented Bear McCreary, further amplifies the tension with haunting melodies that linger long after the credits roll. "The Watchers" is not just a horror film; it is a deep dive into human fears and the unknown, wrapped in a gripping narrative that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
Overall, "The Watchers" is a hauntingly beautiful film that exemplifies the best of the horror genre. It is a must-watch for horror aficionados and casual viewers alike, offering a rich, immersive experience that will leave you thinking about it long after the lights come back on.

Dune: Part One (2021)
Honest review? Meh...
I've heard so much about this movie, so the high IMDb score made me watch this movie. Wel I felt many things while watching this movie it's not worth such a high rating. I had trouble concentrating on the storyline and I sometimes didn't know what was actually happening. Despite the stellar cast, performances feel somewhat flat, failing to fully capture the depth of the source material. Overall, "Dune" is a decent watch for fans of sci-fi spectacle, but falls short of delivering a truly memorable cinematic experience.
This one is highly overrated. I score this movie a fair 6/10. Maybe part 2 will up things?
Star Trek: First Contact (1996)
The best movie of the franchise!
"Star Trek: First Contact" stands as the pinnacle of the franchise, offering an exhilarating blend of action, drama, and philosophical depth that captivates both die-hard Trekkies and newcomers alike. The film expertly weaves together elements of time travel, the relentless pursuit of the Borg, and the enduring spirit of exploration embodied by the crew of the Enterprise. Captain Picard's personal vendetta against the cybernetic menace adds a compelling layer of character development, showcasing his struggle to overcome the trauma of his own assimilation.
Visually stunning and thematically rich, "First Contact" explores themes of resilience, redemption, and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. The performances are top-notch, with Patrick Stewart delivering a tour de force portrayal of Picard's inner conflict, while the supporting cast shines in their respective roles.
The film's action sequences are pulse-pounding and meticulously choreographed, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats throughout. Yet, it's the film's underlying message of hope and the indomitable human will that truly sets it apart. Despite the darkness of the Borg threat, "First Contact" ultimately celebrates the triumph of the human spirit over adversity, inspiring audiences to believe in the possibility of a better future.
Moreover, the film's exploration of the nature of humanity and the consequences of unchecked technological advancement resonates deeply in an era defined by rapid technological progress. In many ways, "First Contact" serves as a cautionary tale, reminding us of the importance of ethical considerations and the preservation of our humanity in the pursuit of progress.
In summary, "Star Trek: First Contact" is a masterpiece of science fiction cinema that transcends the boundaries of the genre. Its captivating story, compelling characters, and thought-provoking themes make it not only the best movie in the franchise but also a timeless classic that continues to resonate with audiences to this day.

Don't mind the negative reviews. It a Great movie!

With stunning visuals and imaginative world-building, "Damsel" immerses audiences in a spellbinding adventure. The stellar performances of the cast, coupled with a compelling storyline, create an engaging cinematic experience that will leave viewers spellbound. With its blend of action, fantasy, and heartwarming moments, "Damsel" is a must-see for fans of the genre.
The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023)
Best of the Hunger Games movied
I just got back from watching this movie, I liked it very much. Tom Blyth did and awesome job portraying Snow. The movie stars of slow, getting to now the timeline we are in and the characters and than the plot starts picking up speed and we are in the Hunger Games again. I was a bit hesitant about this being a prequel of the original franshise movies but this absolutely did not disappoint. I hope this could be a start of a new streak of movies in the Hunger Games franshise. If you are a fan or not you will definitely like this movie. 2 hours and a half flew by.
I give this movie an 8 out of 10.
Enterprise (2001)
Great Trek series victim of bad timing...
Star trek Enterprise is set 100 years before the original stra trek, Wich makes the series stand alone by itself. Early 2000 was a cruel time for star trek, a lot of other sci Fi shows out there and viewer ratings were harder to keep happy, so this sho is a victim of bad timing... This show had 10x more viewers than most of the shows that are on today. Enterprise is a great series, seasons 1 and 2 you get to know the main cast in stand alone episodes and season 3 is a big story arc which was awesome. Season 4 is where the show really found its footing, exploring more of the early relations between vulcans, andorians, tellarites... It's sad that the show ended too soon. But today 98 episodes is still a big number.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds: A Quality of Mercy (2022)
What was this??
I love strange new worlds even though it's in a time period that I don't like that much... We saw the return of episodic star trek which is about bloody time. So after 9 great episodes we get to the final episode of strange new worlds season one. I understand the episode bit it was so dark, way too long and kind of boring... It felt more like a discovery episode to me and that's not a complement. I'm not going into a lot of detail but I hope season 2 will continue the crews voyages as they were in the first nine episodes.
Good lord why do we have to write 600 characters in these reviews? Ok I'm at 600.
Star Trek: Picard: The Last Generation (2023)
The send off we always wanted
What an amazing season it has been. I've always been sad how the crew of the next generation went out with Star Trek Nemesis back in 2002. This time around we got to see this legacy crew back together, all of them. In this last episode I got all the feels, 3/4 of the episode is action and the conclusion to this epic season's storyline, with the enterprise D tackling a huge Borg cube. And 1/4 is what's happening after. We see the 'new' generation take command of the Enterprise G with captain seven and the TNG crew having fun together. And last but not least, a cliffhanger with Q?
Let make that sequel please!!!!!!
Star Trek: Picard: Võx (2023)
Absolute perfection!
I have nothing negative to say about this episode, every week gets better and better. It's been a joy watching this season of Picard every week. We finally found out what's behind the red door and boy I didn't expect this at all, this is some genius writing here! This episode is exiting and thrilling as the story goes on, and yes to top everything of we got the old crew together on the enterprise D again, now we know what Geordi was doing at the fleet museum, he spend 20 years restoring there old ship. I got goosebumps all over when they took off in the good old enterprise. To me this episode is worth a 'solid' 10. (Changeling joke) to me this is by far the best trek season out there!
And there is still one episode to go, I can't wait what will be in store for us next week!
We definitely need more of this 'Legacy' star trek. Bring in voyager and ds9 too!!!
Star Trek: Picard: Surrender (2023)
What a fun ride!
Last week's episode wasnt as great as the ones before that but this week it's spot on again. The story continues to move forward and we finally got to see Deanna troi in the flesh! So 8 episodes in and this is really an incredible season, the writers and also the actors did a phenomenal job. I'm not going to spoil anything but this is the episode that puts the entire The next generation crew together at the briefing table as seen on the trailers. Pace of the episode was great, I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. And yes... It ended with a huge cliffhanger again. Next week we'll see another familiar face guest starring I can't wait to find out. Go watch and enjoy!!! This is real star trek!
Arcadia (2023)
This is great!
I'm a huge fan of dystopian films and series, so I was very surprised at the announcement of this series in my own country. So I started this yesterday and I'm almost at the end. And boy this does not disappoint, I think some people are shortminded and just don't get it, if it's not your genre than simply don't watch it. Yes it's 'slow' paced but it's certainly not boring at all! It's a dystopian series and also a drama series, it has a vibe that really sucks you into the story from the very first episode. When an episode ends you just want to watch more. I also think it's very well acted by Belgian and dutch actors. It really reminds me of the handmaid's tale and Black mirror. So if you like disntopian sci fi pls enjoy!
Star Trek: Picard: The Bounty (2023)
Amazing episode!
First of all I have a great love for deep space nine, The Next Generation and Voyager. Now it's joy to watch every week. While every star trek season we got since 2017 has been struggling... Every episode in this season has been phenomenal, the story is perfect, bringing back an old villain is genius, the pacing is good, nothing feels like filler, the story just keeps going and getting more and more exciting by the episode. There is a lot of nostalgic moments and it feels like a true modern post TNG sequel and more! These actors still got it, and they're even better than before. The writers this season actually know what they are doing, and Terry is amazing.
Let's hope that there will be some sort of spin off after this, cause this is the star trek many of us have been waiting for.
Star Trek: Picard: Seventeen Seconds (2023)
Hell yes worth a solid 10 , best star trek episode since 2005
Three episodes in star trek Picard season 3 is plenty strong, especially when compared to the other first two questionable seasons... The storytelling is clear, the pacing is just good, and the characters are in depth and offcource familiar faces. As stated in a previous review, this season of Star trek Picard feels like a really good "Next Generation" movie. Also has a feel of the TOS movies like the wrath of Khan etc.
So as I said the pace of this season has been everything but dull, with revelations coming steadily and logically. The character moments, likewise, have been explored with tact and the showrunners have allowed conversations to play out in full.
In my opinion having all the next generation cast joining this season is a brilliant move and one that we as fans have been hoping for for many years, yes they are older but they are still as good as we remember and even better, keep in mind that there has been more than 20 years that past since we last saw them, so their lives changed as well.
This episode kept me at the edge of my seat, and when it was revealed that the changelings are back my mouth fell open. I cannot wait what other surprises will be in store for us this season. THIS IS STAR TREK, THANK YOU TERRY!!!!
Let's hope after this season we can have more trek like this with more legendary characters.
Godzilla (2014)
Good for the first half hour
Started off so good and than got bad real quick. The story is weird, the metallic like creatures were stupid... it was almost like watching a transformer movie without much story. Just some weird creatures tearing down the city and fighting each other. And than Godzilla started blowing blue fire??? Pls Don't bother with this one, it's better to watch the original!
The Orville: Domino (2022)
Mind-blowing good!
I hate to say it but this season is better than anything new Star trek has given us, it's exiting, compelling stories, lots of character development. So gooodddd!!!!!!
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003)
Best movie trilogy that exists!
I was 9 when the fellowship was released, and 11 when this movie came around. I can honestly say that I've lost count at how many times I've watched these movies. The're a true masterpiece, the story by Tolkien is magical and the way they honored this with these movies is superb. Even to this day the movies are flawless!
The Black Phone (2021)
Not that good
It was not bad and not good, there is no horror in this movie, the story is poor and poorly executed. I'm baffled at all the good reviews, I think it's all very overrated, people saying that it's the best horror movie?? They probably never saw any horror movie.
Obi-Wan Kenobi: Part VI (2022)
This series is the best star wars there is
I loves this series , finally some story instead of constant space battles. I didnt think star wars could be good as a series, cause to movies are so action packed and basic storyline. I think star wars took a note from star trek. Well done!
