Paranormal (2020)
Good Job! Hope for better.
Following the Egyptian epic pocket novel series "Paranormal 1993 - 2014, as translated from the Arabic name (Ma Waraa Al Tabiaa - what is beyond nature)" written by "Dr Ahmed Khalid Tawfik 1962 - 2018", the new TV series by Netflix made it quickly to IMDB top TV list.
First of all, good job for reincarnating the spirit of the main character "Dr Refaat Ismael, a hematologist who was not believing in paranormal things and found himself in the middle of facing many of them", played well by "Ahmed Amin". As for the rest of casting were average, some of the kids as well as "Maggie Mckillop" were a poor selection in my opinion "although the actress might be good but does not fit in this role with the strange Arabic accent ", but there should be a honorable mention to the Kid who played "Shiraz", Raaefa (Refaat\s sister) and the old lady who played Refaat 's mother.
The directing was good somehow, but I think it needs more effort as well as the special effects which were good in some scenes and poor in others. Locations and decoration were almost above average, sometimes were outstanding as well as the music.
Without spoiling anything, I would say that the vison of the series making
had changed/removed some of the original novels plots and characters, which might had lowered the expectations of millions of the novels' readers (which I'm one of them). I think there are many other stories that would better serve the purpose of introducing "Dr Refaat Ismael", his informative myth knowledge, his black sarcasm, and his epic world!
Still good job and congratulations for all the cast and crew. We are looking forward to seeing better work, more effort, research and surveys to experience some of Refaat Ismael's adventures. Thank you.
Terminator Genisys (2015)
A good Action, Adventure & Sci-Fi movie.
First of all, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jason Clarke and Jai Courtney did well, also Emilia Clarke is lovely and seems to be the original Sarah Connor. This movie did a good job for the series summary, however it has some goofs. The older Schwarzenegger is funny and more professional. The rating shouldn't be less than 7 (I give it 8).
High budget action movie with great crew, very entertaining, and I don't know what's up with the dudes who don't like it! If you are looking for perfect stuff, it won't be always there, so you could go with the good ones, and this movie is defiantly one and highly recommended for Terminator, Arnold or Sci-Fi movies fans.
Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)
An epic Pharaonic modern movie!
What are all those negative reviews?? It's an epic! I recommend watching it, as the first Pharaonic modern movie since a long time ago. Sure it could have been better, and of course it has some big historical mistakes and miss-confused some religions thoughts, but come on! it's an action, adventure and drama 150 minutes movie.. So grow up and ignore the newbie IMDb negative comments, I give it 7.5/10 .. and may be 8 for Christian Bale & Ridley Scott. I will keep it on my DVDs lists. And yes, Egypt banned the film and the committee of archaeologists agreed with the decision to ban the film because it showed "a false and wrong mental image of Egypt's history,". However it's never been said that it's a historical real story!
