The Mandalorian (2019)
Its Finally happened
Disney has finally produced a absolutely must not miss show that has a real star wars feel to it. No agendas. No assasinations of classic star wars loved characters. This show really does prove that its still possible to make good star wars content. A deep felt thanks to all the people involved in making this show. It really has made my year.
Ghostbusters (2016)
sexist
If you thought women were treated in a sexist fashion when the first ghost-busters was first released ? Why would you remake ghost-busters but then flip the script and be sexist towards men ? It seems that people feel the need for revenge rather than putting the situation right. Just for the record if something is wrong first time around if you repeat the mistake two wrongs dont make a right
Lost in Space (2018)
Truly Awful
I started out with great expectations for this show. I have been wowed by a few newish TV series like Breakng bad , vikings , outlander ,stranger things. What begs belief too is the fact this sci fi show gets funded when the likes of Firefly was canned in the past. The show demonstrates all that is wrong with today's conformative world. We seem to feel a unshakable need to tick every social box and check in triplicate that there is no bullying or any form of plot that is too edgy. The actors are wooden. The best character in the show is the robot. If you like mind numbing shows like the 100 and the movie maze runner watch this show youll be blown away. If you prefer something edgier decent characters with a meaty plot you can believe look elsewhere.
The Dark Tower (2017)
awful adaptation
A amazing book series ruined with a truly awful adaptation / dumbing down of the book. There is no point on elaborating on how bad this is. You can either take my word for it or see for yourselves.
Outlander (2014)
A truly great TV show
I stumbled across this TV show by accident whilst looking for something new to watch in the evenings with my wife. The show stars Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall, a married World War II nurse who in 1945 finds herself transported back to the Scotland of 1743 after touching some ancient stones, after travelling back in time she encounters the dashing Highland warrior Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and becomes embroiled in the Jacobite rebel uprisings. I don't want to discuss too much about the plot because of spoilers but suffice as to say the story and characters are amazing. I was very worried after watching the trailer that the show was going to turn into a romantic novel type adventure that i was going to fall asleep to whilst my wife sat next to me gushing at the male hero. How wrong could i be. The show does have romance but it also has a lot of raw action, violence and sex. I can see that some of the reviewers on IMDb are not happy about this but i myself think that the explicit graphical nature of all the different parts of life that this show has to offer and its no holds barred story-line makes the show that much better to watch. If you are a person that likes fantasy adventures such as game of thrones or the vikings TV show you will love this great piece of television. Do yourself a favour and start watching a show with characters that matter and that you care about. With so many other half baked shows available like the 100 and lost this show really stands out. Stop reading the reviews and start watching this amazing adventure for yourselves. You really wont regret it.
Rogue One (2016)
A fantastic gritty star wars adventure
This is the star wars movie you are looking for. Ihave been a long time fan of all things star wars since my primary school years. I was brought up with the original trilogy and suffered the prequels because they were star wars and because I was a die hard fan I felt it was George Lucas's story to tell. I wasn't at all happy with the force awakened and felt like that movie tried to reboot a franchise that didn't need rebooting.If you are a star fan you don't need reminding what going on with a rehashed story. This movie is completely different it treats the franchises fans with respect. And has a fantastic story-line to boot. There is a lot of action sequences and a great story( something I felt was lacking from awakened). The tie in between this film and star wars a new hope is fantastic. Please listen to the fans Disney. This is what the star wars fans needed and wanted from you and the force awakened experience. I really really enjoyed this movie. If any of what I have procrastinated about above maybe rings true with your previous star wars experiences then maybe you will like this great adventure too
Another World (2014)
honest review - its a low budget movie and the acting is truly awful
I honestly don't know how this title has got the reviews and score it has on IMDb ? maybe the reviews are members of the casts family or film crew ? who knows ? All i do know is that this movie really does blow. The acting is terrible , the story is non existent. And when the film ends you are left thinking ....is that it ? The plus points of the film are the effects which were not too bad considering the film is quite obviously on a budget. I think this filmk fell down for me because there just wasn't any order or reason for what was happening. Watch this at your peril but be warned when i watch a zombie flick that isn't even a quarter as good as the walking dead i feel as dead as the zombies and actors portrayed in the film.
Farscape (1999)
Just a fantastic journey
I just recently re-watched the entire Farscape series because of missing a few episodes when the show initially aired way back when. I have to say i thoroughly enjoyed and fell in love with the show all over again.
To sum up the show for anyone looking at the reviews trying to work out whether they want to invest some time in it. Farscape is about a astronaut that launches into space on a NASA mission and accidentally hits a wormhole taking him to another galaxy.
As the show unfolds the main character > John Chrichton meets and teams up with afellow band of aliens who he then cohabits with on a living spaceship called moya.John then travels throughout the farscape galaxy looking for answers to try to return home to earth and also has lots of other strange encounters and adventures along the way. I really cant say enough good things about this show.
The characters in this series makeyou fall in love with them and even the less likable "bad guys" leave you wanting more.
After watching this series it leaves me feeling sad for what could have been for this great show. Why was it cancelled ? Why did the show have to end when it did ?
Im going to rate the show a solid ten because of the genuine happiness the show bought me and my mrs at the end of our days when all we wanted to do was watch something on TV to chillax to.
Thank-you Farscape cast and Jim Henson for all the good times.
The Middle (2009)
terrible terrible show
This TV show seems to be dead set on taking the previous crown that Malcolm in the middle had rightly earnt. The problem with this show is the characters are very weak and in no way have any of the charisma the characters from Malcome in the middle commanded.If anything this show makes you miss the original Malcolm in the Middle show more. Yes you will smile yes very occasionally you will laugh but the show just doesn't seem to hit the spot and my wife pretty much hit the nail on the head when she walked in the room and said "is it trying to be Malcolm in the middle ? because if it is it isn't doing a good job" Its not often i will sit down and comment/review a TV show but i feel so let down by this show i just had to voice my opinion on it. I really have tried to like this TV program but i have now just ran out of patience with it.
Stargate Universe (2009)
really let down
i have tried and tried to like this show. i have watched episode after episode hoping for a glimmer of action. All i have experienced so far is a really bad space drama. In one hand the developers for the show seem to want to lead the audience down a more mature path with its story lines and plots but in the other hand they provide the audience with characters which just aren't believable which then leads the audience to feel as disappointing as the reviews from reviewers on IMDb are indicating. Im sure there are some people who this show appeals to but im just not one of them. I just wish stargate didn't have to go down like the titanic in its last incarnation. Parts of the show i am impressed with has been the ship and effects which are of a decent quality and design. The problem again with a good set is the fact the poor storyboarding and characters make me feel sad for what could have been. Im sure this show could have met the old show somewhere in the middle with the ideas of this series and been half decent...unfortunately this hasn't happened.
