Ancient Apocalypse (2022)
Fascinating fantasy fiction
One star, but only as a warning that this is, of course, pseudoscience.
That said, I totally onjoyed ths series. Fantasies like these are fascinating. Such grand narratives, like Erich von Däniken's even more deranged world view, or the various theories about Atlantis, Lemuria, or Mu, are fun. It is basically fantasy fiction, but interesting also for real scholars because it is a great source to study how science fiction and fantasy influence people's ideas about actual reality.
Some professional archaeologists have already protested against this series. But that will only make things worse: in shows like this -- in order to heroize the lonely, self-styled freethinkers -- academic archaeologists are typically framed as "mainstream" conservatives who refuse to see the truth. Saying that it isn't true won't impress the believers anyhow.
But the theory presented in this series in fact is not new all that. It is no more than a variant of the old sunken continent narrative that was massively popular in the twentieth century, with some Däniken mixed into it -- but without the aliens and Lovecraftian reptilians so that it all sound more reasonable.

Aquaman (2018)
Michael Bay Meets The Snorks
This film is so predictable, it's boring. Nothing happens besides explosions. Some good graphics though.
Hacksaw Ridge (2016)
Hypocritical film
A hypocritical film that glorifies violence and sets forward dubious notions of religious and national superiority.
Star Trek Beyond (2016)
A lot of funny jokes and big explosions
A group of amateur actors gathers in a film studio to parody the nineteen sixties TV-series "Star Trek". The actors make funny jokes. Then they go somewhere and there are a lot of explosions. The enemies are ugly, so it's OK to kill them. After 122 minutes the film ends.
