The Grand Tour (2016)
Over hyped
Ep01 - opening sequence - spot on - excellent, there was only one way it could go after that and that was down hill, and it didn't let me down.
In fact it all been pretty mundane til Ep05 - spoilt brats, loads of money but with no ideas - did they forget to bring the ideas bloke with them from the BBC?
Ep05 was the first one where they actually came back - loved it. Ep06 back to the mundane
But so far, far too little imagination in a show we have been waiting a long time to see, Amazon are going to loose money on this - 3 seasons I don't see a renewal happening.
S'OK but honestly - it ain't that good.
TG is dead - may it rest in peace.
Wonders of the Universe (2011)
Why was I watching someones Holiday Snaps?
Fascinating subject. But instead of having a bright Astronomer do the presentation we get a particle physicist instead? :( Going off to some of the most exotic places on Earth - generally to do some seriously poor metaphor and generally loose the plot.
There are some excellent bits in the middle but there really is some serious doggy pooh to wade through to get there.
Professor Brina Cox has serious problems in presenting. From misunderstanding gravity (and calling it a force) to failing to comprehend that time is a man made construct and the universe doesn't care what time it is. And to try and claim during free fall he's experiencing zero gravity when he is still in the gravity field of the Earth - just free falling - well that's was just very poorly done and explained.
But the worse, the absolute worse moment for me has to be when he talks about Einstein's equations of relativity and he Cox wants to make a contribution that would result in a change in those formulations - an improvement in the equations First thing to do Bri is pack up your Projector and Holiday slides and for good sake stop looking down at the camera and the audience - and actually learn to make a clear concise non confusing presentation.
Poor effort BBC - poor Effort
Titanic II (2010)
So bad it cant even make the worse 100 movies of all time - truly dire
What can I say, other then felt compelled to add my tuppence worth. Some films are so bad they are funny. This is not one or those films. This is worse. In fact its so bad it will never make it on to a worse 100 list because that would mean it would have to get a rating of some sort.
Highlight of the Movie? When some Extra punches Van Dyke and says "its all your fault" I thought how poetic - Shayne must be having a laugh because that was truly awful.
Direct to DVD - it should be Direct to cesspit.
Still I read the reviews and thought I'd give it a shot - I should have known better
