Game of Thrones: The Iron Throne (2019)
Excellent finale
It was a roller coaster ride, but we have made it.
I wasn't a fan of 6th and 7th season particularly, as it appeared that show runners went a bit more Hollywood and closer to a generic fantasy than staying true to the spirit of Martin's work.
Final episode feels like something Martin would have written. Sure, dialogue isn't as snappy but the tone of the episode is absolutely fitting.
Aside a few minor things, i found it thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish.
Nemanjici: Radjanje kraljevine (2018)
Falls short of expectations
Suffers from mediocre script, direction and acting.
Actors are unconvincing. Granted the material they have to work with isn't the best (to say the least) but they lack energy and passion.
Dialogues can be cringe worthy at times. It feels like the show is expecting to create tension and emotional involvement by merely being set in the time when medieval Serbian state was being created.
Characters lack any development and appear to be nothing more but a bare bone recreation of historical characters, which is very weird since important historical events like battles are merely hinted at or shown in the background, while majority of screen time deals with character interacting with one another.
Cinematography is great and really puts you in the mood, but it alone isn't enough to make you emotionally involved, even if you're a Serb. For any non Serb, this is going to be extremely boring.
Very little substance, all in all. It feels like the producers are expecting success simply because of the time period it is set in and money spent on cinematography.
Hopefully it picks up, but beginning feels very underwhelming.
Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017)
One of the best Star Wars movies to date
People seem to put on rose tinted glasses when considering the original trilogy and are slowly starting to do that when thinking about the prequel trilogy.
Bottom line simply is - The Last Jedi is one of the best, if not the best, Star Wars movie to date. The main reason probably is the this one is finally aimed more at adults than kids and teenagers. Characters suddenly get a few more dimensions, we see a more human (or humanoid) side of them, which involves making mistakes, having moments of doubt and learning to deal with mistakes they make.
Some fans were angered at this, hoping a continuation of their perfect heroes and villains battling it out in the largest space fantasy we've seen so far in the history of cinema.
The entire cast puts in an incredible performance - Mark Hamill and Adam Driver steal the show, but Ridley, Isaac and Boyega were also amazing.
I can't help but wonder if some parts of the film couldn't have been cut, but overall, the director does a good job of keeping you on edge, which is something not often seen in a Star Wars movie.
As a lifelong Star Wars fan, I can't help but disagree with some of the story and character choices, but this is the film Star Wars needed. It's bold, not afraid to let go of the past and takes us to new places and adds a little dose of maturity the franchise needed. It's not just a good Star Wars film. it's a good film.
Go see this film with an open mind is the best advice I can give. Leave your idea of how Star Wars film should be like at home and let the director and the cast take you on an incredible journey.
First Orbit (2011)
Unique film
It is really hard to describe this film. It's not a documentary, or a film that's supposed to show you everything about Yuri Gagarin's flight.
It simply shows you the first manned flight into outer space from Gagarin's perspective. That's pretty much all it does. And it is magnificent.
It is not often we get the opportunity to see one of mankind's greatest achievements from a front-row seat.
Even if you don't make it to the end, it is worthwhile to watch for some time, if only to see the world like Gagarin did during this incredible feat.
