The Tinder Swindler (2022)
When things seems too good to be true, it probably is
Listen through Cecilie when she talks about the journey, you can see the sparkle in her eyes, how she really enjoys the moment and she really falls in love. Some people say Simon is just a guy who sucks gold digger but I can't agree on that. Gold digger would suck a man dry out without contributing anything and Cecilie was so mentally attached to Simon at that time. He is a typical manipulative people, he creates fear in them, and makes them seems like they have no choice but to do what he says.
Hard to put myself into their shoes, but really appreciates that Cecilie and Pernilla take a step forward, and speaks the truth regardless of how other people think them... So that we can take precautions when similar thing happens.
Moonfall (2022)
Many Plot Holes
I do enjoy this movie for a brief moment. I love the art direction and also some of the earth destroying scenes. But there are so many plot holes it hinders me from enjoying a big portion of the movie.
Some of the character's choice and dialogue that doesn't make sense. There are flaws that a movie with such budget shouldn't make... It makes me thinks that sci-fi movie should hire a good scientific expert in related field as a consultant.
2 hours are not long, so this movie should focus on the main plot instead. It seems like the production get distracted because too many thing happens in a single movie. Moonfall is messy with so many flat characters (I could only remember 2 names after finishing the movie), extra story lines and messages.
Not to mentioned there are many obvious ads (did SpaceX pay you too?) that are trying too hard.
MIU404 (2020)
Heart warming show with great cast
I personally think that this show had some of the best casts. The chemistry between the team are natural, cute and fun. Their characteristics are solid and you would notice how they grow when the drama progress, how their partnership become stronger (not only between Shima and Ibuki, but also Jinba and Kokonoe). Would rate 8-9 for the casts and character settings.
Musics are great too. I watched this drama because of Kenshi Yonezu's OST, and his song, Kanden, match this drama very well. Not forget to mention some of the other great background music as well.
Storyline however, mediocre. There are too many coincidence in the whole drama, you would know what am I saying once dive into it. I do not want to ignore how outstanding the characters' ability in solving cases, but too much coincidence makes me think that god help them solving the cases instead of themselves. Too many of the connectivity and coincidence can get distracting, so I would rate 6 for the story.
But I do love this drama shows us how police work while processing a case, and many of the positivity and heart warming moments. It brings out a message that a person can be good or bad not only depend on their own choice, but also obstacles in their life. Episode 4 are my personal favourite.
Abigail (2019)
NICE VFX, WORST STORY TELLING
The story telling is falling into pieces and all the points are hardly connected. Story progress are so confusing and so hard to catch up. I personally thinks that there is something wrong with the storyboard that makes the movie losing their main focus in almost every scene. Character dialogues are so clear without sufficient environment noise, makes them sound like a voice-over. The created music are good but the volume are so constant throughout the movie. However, kudos to the VFX team who tries their best to work on the film. The effects are actually quite good, but it cannot save this movie with other elements fall so behind.
