Good Night World (2023)
Solid anime
The reviews for this anime are too low in my opinion. As the most helpful review (current at the time of writing) points out the show doesn't really have something to say, but I'm not convinced this is a flaw of the show. In some ways, it felt like a more realistic take on this kind of sci-fi future a lot of shows try to make some critique or point about what would happen with futuristic technology, but realistically, these things are pretty much impossible to predict. Instead, the show focuses on great plot and family turmoil, and uses great sci-fi to do so.
The show is definitely quite cerebral in its plot, despite not making a point, but it definitely gets you thinking, if you're more philosophical in nature.
Invasion (2021)
New combinations of genre
This show combined drama and horror in a unique way that is a great watch if you have the right expectations. This is a drama show that revolves around horror. It's not an action show or much of a horror show either.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Better than expected based on so so reviews.
This is a good continuation of the series considering it is a continuation of a iconic series. There may be some elements of the script that weren't as impressive as the first one, but this wasn't a movie that needed to put the director in the map and gain fame, she already has that. It's understandable it wouldn't be as impressive. Overall, good movie that is worth watching. They also do a good job of thinking through a reasonable way to continue to series that doesn't feel like they are just trying to make money even though that's why the movie was made.
Love and Monsters (2020)
Great movie
It's not going to blow your mind away, but it's not meant to. It's has everything a good classic movie should have. It's really the hero's journey told again in a way where there is little to nothing to criticize other that it being the hero's journey, but that's a story that should be told over and over again.
The Old Guard (2020)
Good movie not quite an action movie thought.
After reading a review on rotten tomatoes that stated the movie had great character development and got at raw human emotion I was intrigued. I think this film may be getting more negative reviews than it deserves, not because it's a bad movie, because it not marketed well. After watching the trailer online I thought this would be an action movie. If I watched this movie expecting an action movie I would probably be disappointed, but I watched it expecting an emotional movie that created deep character development. Watching the movie expected this made it quite an enjoyable film. If those are the kids of films you'll likely enjoy this movie. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but it does give a unique insight on what it would be like to be immortal from an emotion perspective.
