The Witcher: Blood Origin (2022)
Origin of an almost 4 decades evolving story in 4 episodes
1986 the first Witcher book was written and who ever read some books or played one of the successful games knows how deep the world of our beloved witchers goes. Even Netflix offers own documentaries about the monsters in the Witcher TV show that have more content that this here. And this here is called ORIGINS.
Origins should not feel like a fast forward conclusion YouTube video (world history in 5 minutes) where they skip 90% of it.
I didn't know if it's worth to write a comment since it was so bad I didn't even felt it's necessary to say it out loud. Just take 5 minutes (the timespan of a conclusion Video on YouTube) and experience this awful waste of production costs and multiple people's time yourself.
I warned you.
Reviviendo la Navidad (2022)
Why do I give 3/10 after 5 minutes and feel confident that this was not too early to decide.
Story: new
Camera / Scenes: in the first 5 minutes amazing
Actors: professionals and doing a great job
Writing: better than some block busters
Cuts: on point and you will not see any second not necessary to the plot in the first five minutes. Actually that's a masterpiece (in the genres of gen-y-couple or family entertainment)
So what's the problem why I am giving 3/10? Oh if you see the movie you will see it. At 00:04:30 the main character changes from a cool balanced guy to a dork / bully who ignores the real world. To the disadvantage of his only two kids. Just look at this: (spoiler head)
He has to bandage his son's hand because of an Karate injury. He didn't ask about the fight and the injuriy - he just wrap some fabric around the hand. Scene over. Mother sits next to it and also doesn't add up anything or wonders if a dry bandage is enouigh. In real life I am not a docter but I recommend to at least ask how your son is today.
This is 5 min in tnto the movie. This paragraph makes totally clear what I am about to state with my 3/10 star rating here. It's a bad movie. Badly executed and it makes us audience ask and wonder more than we experience satisfaction from the story to be told.
Hate it.
Almost Human (2019)
So you see a documentary about yourself and you dislike it.
I understand the critics that his documentary gives more space for pro AI a d pro robotics voices. In my opinion after observing the interviews and reading the comments here, I guess the producers want to show the extremes and stretch it to be exciting - in positive and negative feelings. Clearly some protagonists seem crazy even if they own highest positions in universities and research facilities. I think we need ambitions ,,crazy'' people to go fast and far I to the unknown. We still can stop and regulate it if it's necessary but for the first steps sometimes the enthusiasts are the best choice.
So this documentary is good because it shows extremes of one side of the medal. We are confronted with it and can't deny thinking about it. We even are confronted with our own Yes and No and this is what a critical documentary wants to do: speak directly to you as the narrator does and makes you think about picking a side that feels good for you.
Thank you all the producers and production team and all the participating people for this 50/10 rated doc. I want to see more. I am full of ideas now.
Masters of the Universe: Revelation (2021)
Please copy the old characters
I am used to see long known characters in all new looks because I am a 37 year old comic reader. But here I see new characters that all besides sorceress and Man at arms look so soulless and totall different to the original anime that I get no warm feeling with them. They have no recognizable specialty and they look to clean and the expressions are boring. I tried hard to focus on the story but the face expressions don't transport any connection or even any aversion. I neither like any character here nor I can get angry over any villain. They all look like nothing to me.
I am watching many remakes and sometimes I am happy that it goes on but here it hurts me to see characters I felt a connection even I I see the old episodes today - but the new charismless show is ice cold and has no edges. If THESE characters would appear in my real life now and ask me to come with them to rescue their world I would ask them to leave or call the police. They seem fake and untrustworthy and I .. ya they seem not to be able to become my friends.
Blindspot (2015)
The Cast's Success Rocket?
During the pilot episode I changed my mind from a 4 to a 2 and back to a four. Some photography looks good and they seemed to have some cash for the custom and the locations. But every decision and every sudden faith is one of the most impossible to pick or to happen and rips you out of immersion continuously. I upgraded to 4 stars, because the camera (not the cuts, they are too hasty and imprecise) does well on movement and scenery. Also music and sound at all fits the Genre. I guess any actress and actor gave its best. You can see how they fight to predict their behavior would make any sense. I Gamer disappointed because with better script and Regie it could have been their success project.
