Irreversible (2002)

I just can't watch it . . .

[1/10 · 17 January 2023]

I love watching movies and this one has a very interesting plot.

However the first 30 min (more or less) from the start have a very annoying sound effect and also the camera is rotating non stop.

How can I watch a movie which makes me dizzy when I try to play it?

However if you manage to skip the beginning you get a great movie. But because the first part is super bothering I gave this low score. The cast is amazing, the plot is good, the acting is perfect. I just wish I could remove the first part of the movie completely.

Of course lots of nude scenes, I guess this is not a movie to watch with kids like Home Alone :))

Kamikaze (1986)

Amazing movie considering is from 1986

[10/10 · 15 January 2023]

I have to start by saying I am a big fan of Luc Besson movies. He always makes them special, unique.

I mean let's take this example: who would think to make a movie about a killer which shoots his victims through his TV screen.

I really enjoyed every second of this movie, I absolutely love it. You are always surrounded by suspense and ask yourself "oh shoot what will happen next???" However I can't understand and process the ending of this movie. It happened so quick and shocking that I really can't understand why it ended like this. Sure, it was meant to end somehow but all this was a bit too much.

Anyways, I won't spoil the fun. Really recommend watching it! You will enjoy it!!

Westworld (2016–2022)

A very cool movie about what humans can do in the future

[7/10 · 25 November 2022]

Honestly this is only 7stars from me because this is standard Hollywood cliche movie where good guys get harmed ONLY when they have to, even if 20 higly trained army guys shoot them (and somehow miss). I am sick of this cliche where movies continue to get this wrong. Another bad point is how blind and dumb people are when hosts become hostile. If they are only robots and have an OS which goes crazy just do a full swipe and nothing will remain (similar to when you hard format a HDD and you can't recover anything). If things don't fix themselves and hosts don't stay in character just build a new host entirely.

And lastly, I retreat one star because this movie has no timeline, you are just carried away in the future and present and past, making it difficult to keep track of who is who, who is host, who is not, who dies, who evolves etc.

Conclusion: the idea behind it is amazing. I love the illusion of this movie. However from a realistic point of view this would be impossible. If hosts are acting weird someone would just pull the plug completely without letting them evolve like they do here.

Bloodshot (2020)

Great movie, great plot

[8/10 · 10 October 2022]

I am a big fan of Vin Diesel movies, especially XxX and the Fast Saga. And of course I love this one.

Some would argue is full of mistakes, the action is easily readable, full of cliches blah blah blah. But of course it is.

How can you make a Hero movie if he gets easily defeated? Or he dies quickly and The Villain wins?

Of course it has to be the other way around.

And in this movie of course Ray wins. Kills them all, somehow survives any amount of injury and bonus points: he gets the girl. Probably a tank is missing from the fights.

So why just 8 stars out of 10? Simply because this movie is full of SF and doesn't provide us enough information about his life. I mean he was a soldier, something happened and then the doctor uses him as a pet soldier. But what happened? When is the boundry between his real life and the simulation?

Warning (II) (2021)

Great acting - zero plot

[2/10 · 10 October 2022]

This movie basically has zero plot.... as description defines it: it presents the life of multiple people which live their life.

Honestly what made me watch this movie was the cool cover but I really regret wasting 90 minutes watching it. I was hoping something will happen eventually.

But nope, nothing happens. You just see some people randomly living, doing things, talking to each other with NO plot whatsoever. No heroes, no villains, no action, no hate, no nothing.

As someone else mentioned it, that's basically like watching paint dry. Some people enjoy it some people don't.

I watch a lot of movies and I am not some critic or smarta$$, but seriously these movies are just plain boring. You don't see ANYTHING interesting.

Maybe... just maybe this movie has a cool idea behind it: enjoy life, life is short, live your life to the fullest because death might be around the corner soon.

Tenderness (2016)

You need patience and effort to understand this movie!

[5/10 · 9 July 2022]

First of all, this is not a standard movie where you understand the plot and you somehow anticipate what is going on.

In this movie you will understand what happens only in the last 20 minutes. And also, in my opinion, this movie has no real ending.

You are just introduced to the characters, their way of life and basically what happens with them for a short while.

Probably this is why it got such a low rating on imdb. It's not a movie for the masses. You really need to think about this movie and watch it alone, "digest" it.

I appreciate the effort of the producers and probably I would have added more sex scenes.

I only have to give 5 stars because the transition from one scene to another is ambiguos and weird.

Hajwala: The Missing Engine (2016)

Worse than expected!

[1/10 · 27 September 2021]

From the first minutes I noticed how boring and dull this movie is. But I still gave it a chance! I managed to watch it entirely!

Big mistake, I just wasted almost 2 hours of my life for the most boring car movie ever! And don't get me wrong, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE cars! But this movie has absolutely zero sense, it just switches scenes with zero storyline. Cars are beautiful, but actors have zero life in them. You don't understand who is who, what is he doing and how they can take so many stupid decisions! Also I noticed they have a second movie released in 2018! I mean.... how were they able to create a second movie? The first one was a complete disaster!

Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

The best Sci-Fi movie I ever seen

[10/10 · 30 July 2021]

This movie is full of imagination and Sci Fi and everything you can think of. Sure, it completely lacks realism. But that's the point!

It takes your mind to the extreme..... "what would humanity do in the year 2500? What about the year 5000? Let's jump another 5000 years into the future and pretend we know what will happen.

I love this movie!

F9: The Fast Saga (2021)

Worse than ANY other action movie!

[1/10 · 30 July 2021]

I am usually a big Fast and Furious fan!

But honestly this one has ZERO resemblance to any other Fast movie. Even to cars honestly!

I don't want to spoil the movie, watch it yourself. But I can tell you that cars in this movie are like children toys. The heroes cars never get wrecked but the enemy cars are like paper cars.

And one more thing: Considering what happened in Fast 9 (I repeat, I don't want to spoil the "fun"....), Fast 10 MUST BE made in collaboration with Marvel so Dom joins the Avengers or something. Either as enemy of Avengers or ally. Because Fast 9 REALLY crossed the border between impossible and .... dumb!

The only "NORMAL" character in Fast 9 is Roman, which ALWAYS asks the RIGHT questions!

Honestly....10 stars for imagination and special effects, minus 100 stars for the poor script and dumb plot. Over 2 hours of movie time for the most insane and impossible stunts! Cool.... but with ZERO respect towards cars and how they really work...

Tribes of Europa (2021)

Only 9 because of the flop at the end!

[9/10 · 2 April 2021]

I just finished last episode like 10 minutes ago and I read some reviews from other users.

Honestly those with 1 star reviews have a bit of truth written in them.

But this only encouraged me to give it a high rating. WHY? Maybe because I am tired of the Hollywood BS full of aliens and some hero comes from a hidden bush and saves the world!

This "Tribes of Europa" is different! It shows a totally different world! And that's the beauty of it!

I got a little upset when I watched the last episode, the last scene.....I was actually waiting for something, a hint...anything about how this series will continue..... I guess I have to wait for Season 2 :)))

Replicas (2018)

Don't watch this movie unless you are a Keanu fan!

[10/10 · 21 December 2020]

I only gave this movie a 10star rating ONLY because I am a huge fan of Keanu Reeves and how good of an actor is he! But this movie? Complete garbage. Keanu is the only one reason I watched this movie. And oh boy... I love SF movies! This is a cheap copy of Transcendence (the movie with Johnny Depp). I won't get into spoilers, I don't want to spoil the fun of the movie! I love the Science Fiction part, but this movie is ABSOLUTELY FULL of mistakes, over and over and over again! A ton of mistakes are made in this movie! It's a FUN movie for your typical Sunday evening with your family, but in my opinion, Transcendence is much more about the Science. Replicas is about the companies, the "moral war" and so on. Keanu is a great actor...he saves the movie in my opinion :)

Parasite (2019)

It's a masterpiece. Because Bong Joon Ho

[10/10 · 5 April 2020]

It's pretty difficult to rate a movie 10 out of 10. Either because is full of cliches, or maybe it's stupid, or too much Hollywood action, you name it.... any movie has a flaw.

Except for Bong Joon Ho movies. This guy is like a total GOD of movies, a guru in it's true sense.

For those of you which seen other movies of this guy, you will know immediately what I mean.

His movies are unique. You can't compare them with something else. And Parasite is just one of them which has no equal.

The title is self explanatory. You can't name this movie otherwise once you see it. This is true a story about parasites, how they infect a host and kill it in the end.

A Serbian Film (2010)

I hope this movie gets erased from History!

[1/10 · 5 April 2020]

I won't include spoilers here, everyone is free to watch any movie he wants. That's free will and Internet is accessible to anyone! But if you decide to watch such "art", then you will be deeply disappointed! Because honestly, that's not even a movie! The first 50 minutes of the movie are just a prologue. You are just "introduced" into the plot, how the main character got tricked to destroy himself. A lot of people recommended to me this movie. They even said "hey Teodor, you should watch this movie, I know you like dark stuff, that's a treat for you."" And today I decided to follow this. I was encouraged by a large curiosity honestly. I watched 50 minutes of it painfully because nothing was happening. They just talked, made plans. And then I was hit by gruesome. I can handle pretty much anything. I am not the kind of guy which sees something gore and I rush to the bathroom to throw up. I really enjoy it actually. Is part of the movie. It is ...... art! But A Serbian Movie (or Film ... or Srpski Film whatever) takes everything to another level. A level of stupidity and gruesome. Honestly, as a personal opinion: You NEED TO BE MENTALLY ILL and have serious MENTAL PROBLEMS to watch this movie and give it 10 stars, to enjoy it! You can't enjoy a movie like this one. That's not ART! That's not A MOVIE! That's SICK! That's a serious disaster. I really really hope they used CGI in this movie. Some scenes are too difficult to watch, even for a "veteran" like me. I watched a lot of crazy movies, but this one is different. And is different in a bad way. It's just... not worthy. You will just waste 90 minutes out of your lives and after this you will just ask yourself "Why???! Why did I even watched this S%(@ and why this movie was invented?? Who is behind this contraption and how does he is not in prison for life yet???""

Wu Assassins (2019)

Great plot, but too many cliches!

[5/10 · 12 February 2020]

The first episode starts great. Kai gets the powers, finds out about the Fire Wu Xing and the action escalates quickly! But since episode 1 until the end we are dragged in useless talk and lots of gaps about characters. And it only gets worse! The worse part? Celia Au gets back into action in the final episode and starts everything all over again. We will get a season 2? Maybe! Will it be worthy? Probably, if you are a fan! I am a fan of martial arts and action movies and Chinese movies in general, but this one is just ...weird, and weird in a bad way! I was hoping for more honestly! And frankly, why did Alec had to die? He seen his family die once, now his family has seen him die! Can you imagine how difficult is for a child to see his father murdered and his mom almost with the cut throat? And Alec only wanted to see his family once again, he never wanted to harm others! He actually suffered 500 years of immortality and has seen lots of generations die because of old age while he was perfectly healthy and always young! That's unfair! I really hope season 2 will bring something better...

Lost in Space: Ninety-Seven (2019) Season 2, Episode 10

It is full of mistakes

[9/10 · 7 January 2020]

For a TV Show meant for family, yup, is absolutely perfect. I can't doubt that! But for the scientific part of the show is total garbage. I mean come on, horses in space? Going around on rogue planets without a space suit? Will gets with Adler to save the Scare-Crow, Adler dies and Will miraculously gets back with the Jupiter and with the remaining people back to Resolute? Who flew the Jupiter from that alien ring where robots started to rise up? Only Will and Adler were in that Jupiter... And also, they say that the rift (or wormhole) is open for a few minutes and there is a risk that alien ships can get into the rift with them and so they cancel the leaving. But also they move all the kids in a small Jupiter and decide to send them through the rift. Isn't this the same thing? Also, at least 20 other alien ships were in pursuit of the Resolute. The crew manages to escape using the small Jupiters while the Resolute gets destroyed together with the first alien ship. What happens next? The Jupiters are not strong enough for space flight or they don't have enough fuel! And in the end, the cherry on the top: If the Jupiter full of kids got back to Fortuna, what happened there? At first glance, I thought the Fortuna is the remains of the International Space Station and that weird planet is the Earth.

The 100: The Blood of Sanctum (2019) Season 6, Episode 13

I am not satisfied yet ...

[9/10 · 11 December 2019]

When you think about it, The 100 started with 100 kids sent to Earth as lab rats to check if the planet is still livable. Pretty much everything was basic and normal. No weird technology, no enemies, no difficult tasks. They were just sent there to explore and see if they can stay alive on the planet. Also to send information to The Ark so they come down as well and survive together. However they soon find out they are not the only ones living in that forest and some people (The Grounders) managed to live just fine on the radioactive Earth.Nothing weird yet! Great, season 2 comes out, The Ark kids make friends with The Grounders, they even get in love, The Ark people manage to come down as well. When they notice there are also OTHER People living on the planet as well: The Mount Weather people, armed and dangerous. Nice, we are making progress here. However, nothing out of the ordinary right? Well not yet. Because after fighting and being angry and killing everyone they meet there's a new place to go: The City of Light. But this is just briefly presented. Season 3 is here now, meaning a new enemy in town, by the name of ALIE. She is not real, just a very smart A.I., which manages to control a lot of people with some silicon CPU's (sort of). Oh and did I mention this happens in Season 2 as well with Lexa? But there is only a small spoiler for this, is just called The Commander. Now things start to get weird from now on. AI? Computers? Technology? Brain wash? Niceeee For Season 4 the main enemy of this season is chosen to be Mother Nature herself, called Praimfaya locally. Just some minor radioactive mist which is AI controlled by ALIE and which cannot be stopped. So what is the biggy? Well everyone has to leave Earth ASAP otherwise they will be transformed into pizza. Also people carry on to kill each other, to betray, to make human experiments like in the previous 4 seasons. All in the name of survivability of course. Season 5 shows us how people managed to survive separated (some in space and some in a bunker) while Clarke (the SuperWoman of The 100 series) rambles on the surface of Earth because she is Special (Excuse me, I meant to say Nightblood). Oh and did I mentioned that some new people want a piece of Earth as well? Yeah, they are called Eligius IV and they are lead by Colonel Diyoza. They just want a piece of the Eden. Your mind is confused yet? Well it should be!!! Now for Season 6, the Earth is a late-cooked meatball which is not suitable for living anymore, no matter if you are a squirrel or a Nightblood or a plant. So our heroes have left Earth with the Eligius 4 ship and thanks to Monty they managed to find another planet to destroy (excuse me, to live on I meant to say). They find there a population sent from Earth more than 200 years ago with the ship Eligius 3 (which was a very secret mission, and took Monty 30 years to decode). And guess what, they start a conflict with that population, because why not. Clarke really likes to kill people ALL in the name of surviving, right? Because her people are special and need to live longer than others. Anyways, some guys die and some guys appear in the series! And did I mentioned these people have the power of immortality? Guess what, is the same silicon CPU which ALIE used in season 3. But is for a good cause now. And ALIE doesn't control it anymore. Cute isn't it? So they need a lot of Nightbloods to survive and only Clarke's people have this ability. Great plot! So what is the end of this? Well, after all that technology and murders and walls of electricity and blood and weird relationships, something new must come into play. Guess what: is called The Anomaly. Some weird alien artifact with some weird numbers on it which nobody knows what is it or what is it being used for. And only Octavia is the only one which got into The Anomaly and got out healthy. That's cute! So the season 6 ended with a huge gap and I am very confused and not satisfied. So who knows what season 7 will bring to us. Will The Anomaly be the Enemy? Time will Tell! But from 100 kids sent to Earth to check the surface until this point in time there is a huge time gap and lots of science fiction happening!

Salvation: Get Ready (2018) Season 2, Episode 13

Just amazing !!!

[10/10 · 8 March 2019]

I just finished season 2 latest episode. And it's great. However, like any amazing TV series I watched, the ending just let me with a ton of other questions. Like ... Where is the Arc now? What happened with it's crew? What the H is that space object if it's not an asteroid? What will humanity do now? and many many more. Anyways, in the end, this was a terrific TV series, something which kept me glued to the 90" TV in the living room! Yes, that's the kind of TV series we need! However, some scenes in the movie were cliches and some were impossible in science. But if you just skip these mistakes you will get a great movie :)

Nightflyers (2018)

Great but ends with huge questions ...

[10/10 · 8 February 2019]

I don't want to talk too much about this TV Series. Is awesome, I really loved it, each episode gathers up more and more suspicion, questions and suspense. These are great! A little bit of horror and everything is awesome!! But what about the ending? What are those aliens? What happens with the ship? Etc etc? This is almost like Lost in Space. A great plot, a huge idea that ends into nothing.... :(

Lost in Space (2018–2021)

I was waiting for more!!!

[7/10 · 5 January 2019]

Honestly, the entire show was great. At least for a Sci-Fi desperate like me. I love space movies, I love changes and I was waiting for something awesome to happen. But really? The last episode was a total disappointment for me! I've seen on IMDb that this show might continue in 2019 with other episodes. What kind of episodes? With black holes between two suns and some amazing robots? That's great! And really? Dr Smith was so evil that I have no idea how she was not killed by someone or imprisoned for her entire life. Or starved to death. Really? And that kid Will how was he so dumb that he offered to break her free? Or destroy his pet robot? The robot WAS ABLE TO BE CONTROLLED! So why he gave up on him? Also, a small problem with the last episode: When the robots open the ship there should be vacuum inside, and everything should fly in zero gravity. However none of this happens. This is a big mistake in my opinion....

I Kill Giants (2017)

Complete waste of time....

[1/10 · 26 September 2018]

Spoilers ahead......

My review is just one star because this movie is a complete waste of time! You are presented the life of a teen girl which has a dying mother. She can't comprehend the ideea of death and in her imagination she thinks The Gream Reaper is represented by evil monsters called GIANTS! But of course GiANTS do not exist and everyone treats her like a weirdo. However the ideea of death is presented only in the end of the movie and all the movie you really think this movie is a cool movie where this little girl has special abilities and those giants DO EXIST and she is really killing them. But you get a sour taste in the end when you find out she is just too dumb to understand that people die. Some due to age, some due to sickness, some due to car accidents. I really hoped much more from this movie, I was thrilled to see it. And in the end....it was a complete waste of time!!! I am not a guy looking for special effects, CGI and action movies. I KNOW THIS IS NOT A MARVEL MOVIE! But however, the movie title and the first half an hour was really promising for me, only to find out that a stupid teen doesn't understand that her mother is dying and she thinks is an evil giant.....I mean for real?? :(

Big Mouth (2017–2025)

It's just awesome :)

[10/10 · 20 September 2018]

For some small minded adults sure, it might be a very bad and filthy TV series but if you really watch all 10 episodes and understand the plot you come to a point where you really say ""ohh, this happened in my life too"". This TV series is the true mirror of reality and people that give bad ratings are just lying to themselves.

Revolt (2017)

A big movie with a small budget

[10/10 · 13 September 2018]

Considering the budget problems they had, this movie turned out pretty great. The ending was a little dissappointing from my point of view. But anyway, amazing storyline and really kept me curious in front of the screen :)

GLOW (2017–2019)

Best short TV series I ever watched

[10/10 · 13 September 2018]

I am not a big fan of tv shows because I don't have time to watch multiple episodes. In a movie is more simple: I stay there for 90-240 minutes and that's it....the movie is done. However rarely I get captured by a short TV series with a max of 2 seasons. And GLOW was absolutely amazing. No spoilers given, just watch the damn series, you won't regret it. It's just PERFECTLY done, nothing bad to say about it. Amazing story, amazing costumes, amazing plot, amazing ending, everything is JUST WOOW :) Or I could say is ""GLOW"" :P

The Titan (2018)

Rated 3 for encouragement

[3/10 · 3 September 2018]

Many people already rated this movie so I won't waste time saying what is wrong with it and what happened, spoiling the story. I just want to say that this movie could be a masterpiece, just like Prometheus or Gravity or Alien Covenant. But it fails so much to do this. Why?? For simply making extremely bad and stupid actions or completely ruining the ending. The first part, the middle part can be watched, are ok, even if there are some stupid choices there too; but those are forgivable. But the ending......ohh god the ending is awful. Even a 5 year old kid could have thought about a better ending. Really disappointed :(
