Intergalactic (2021)
The new Blake's 7 almost
Sky would have done better to remake Blake's 7, at least we knew the storyline. This has so so special effects but the 'Black Lives Matters' bull has again taken over. Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against black actors, the good ones anyhow, but these are just poor. From the limp main character who would be better on a Disney kids flick to the two CRAZY EYES convicts doing their best to act tough. Laughable really. The 'screw' couldn't act his way out of a paper bag and the white girl is obviously a lesbian.. so in today's age that's most of the minorities covered, black, white, gay, Indian and terrible acting. The disabled being covered by the screw with the low IQ. Dearie me, what's the world coming to? I'm sure my review will offend but it's the same everywhere we look now.... Cover all aspects as to seem everything is equal and fair in this world, well, it's not... maybe we should have some poor and homeless on here too, they're the new unheard minority.
Monster Hunter (2020)
Easily the best movie of 2020
Whats not to like? Top notch special effects, decent monster designs, pretty good script (starts off like Aliens, then screamers, Dune with a bit of dragons layer all rolled into one. Tries to be original but evident. However, as a fun, action packed family sci-fi that has just enough humour to keep you wanting more, it's got it all. Watch out for the little bit mid end titles. The only bit that spoilt it for me and the family was the man-cat. Reminded me of puss in boots in shriek and in my books was unnecessary and cheesy but luckily only lasted a few seconds but like I said did spoil the credibility of the movie a little.
Make no doubt, this is a must see movie and for once is 100% better than the trailer made it look and was action packed from the start to finish. Do watch!
Atomic Blonde (2017)
Does anyone smoke that much?
Action was very good, intense, almost believable. Unfortunately I can only imagine this was sponsored by a tobacco company as not one scene didn't involve not smoking! This completely ruined the movie for me as wasn't part of any plot? Shame, shame, shame. Could have been a classic.
Inescapable (2012)
Terrible Movie
What can I say..... Taken 2 was a weak follow on from the original which was quite a fresh approach to a mild action movie, this is neither. This makes Taken 2 seem fast paced and full of kick ass. If you enjoy slow moving stories with the actors seemingly pausing to buy time (or remember their lines) this is for you. I should have turned off after the titles. I did eventually switch off after an hour. The characters are boring, slow paced, uninterested in their role and I can only imagine the director saw what a train crash this was going to be and left halfway through filming! The main actor excelled in Deep space 9 and was even watchable in Primeval but in this movie he just seems bored and certainly not overly concerned about his missing daughters welfare. Snore,,, watch at your peril! Sci fi channel movies seem glossy and well written/acted compared to this mess. 1/10 cos it's the lowest I can give. You may see higher ratings from Canadians who have watched this film, they're being patriotic, trust me.
A Thousand Words (2012)
Fantastic - DO NOT MISS THIS MOVIE!
It goes without saying that Eddie Murph hasn't been at his best since Beverley Hills Cop. This movie changes that. Apart from a little of his over the top comedy, this is a real tear jerker. It is very much like Click in that it makes the viewer think about his life, how they treat others and just how much of our life is wasted. Well acted, well conceived and a great heart warming movie that men and women can enjoy. My wife loved it, I loved it. More like this please. Try not to pick a at little details of 'how' but enjoy the 'why' Great movie. 9/10 best movie i've seen this year! Bring tissues and popcorn, turn down the lights (so the missus can't see the tears ;)
The Captains (2011)
Has to be one of the most boring documentaries ever made!
There was nothing on TV, so I downloaded this utter rubbish :( I loved all of the star trek shows and movies (except DS9) so was really looking forward to watching this. Badly written, the actors seemed not only uncomfortable but many seemed to say the least eccentric! This program does none of them any justice. Please DO NOT waste your time on this utter rubbish! I should have downloaded my little pony maybe, or something with a story. Anyone who actually enjoys this can probably be found most days in a dark alley wearing a rain mac selling dodgy pirate movies. I read with interest other reviews of this show and can only imagine they are trying to lull you into wasting your bandwidth or wasting an hour and a half of your life watching it. To close, if you really want to see this, get a bottle of vodka in and switch it on just before you pass out!
