The Good Place (2016)
Very pleasant..
I am in the middle of the second season... Until now it was a pleasant ride, with funny moments, philosophical and religious references and a great Ted danson, who gives quality to the show..
I enjoyed the twist at the end of the first season, because it arranged the things according to logic and religion and as a Christian, I appreciated it. ...
All the actors do their job well, especially elenor, Janet, chidi and Jason.. Of course some episodes seem repetitive, but I can overcome it..
I don't know what will happen next, but I am sure that this show, will remain in my memory for long, because of the theme and the performance of Mr. Danson..
3 Body Problem (2024)
I didn't know how to rate this one
The truth is, that this series had a charm and interest.. But only until the 5th episode... The rest three episodes are useless, allthough I watched until the end, hoping for something to happen... But it didn't..
I will not comment about the acting allthough the best in my opinion was the inspector/agent clarence.. But I will comment about the story..
1. Ok, one tormented, desperate but brilliant woman in China decided to invite a very advanced alien race to earth, hoping that the aliens will fix all the problems of humanity.. Naive thought for a scientist, but what we can do?
2. These aliens are able and willing to manipulate our planet even from 4 light years away, imagine what will happen when they will arrive, but oddly enough, many believe that they are benevolent beings!
3. Allthough they will arrive in... 400 years they have followers (what for and why? ) and humanity is in panic allthough even our grand grand children will be dead until then..
4. So humanity decides to act (laugh) and decides to send a probe to meet them in space in 200 years to find out what and how they are (laugh again).
5. The plan for this mission is very stupid indeed and antiscientific completily.. Why they don't just wait until some or many decades later for the technology to advance and give solutions?
6. Since the SAN TI were so powerful to manipulate even dimensions, why they wanted to come to earth traveling 400 years, instead of terraforming a steady and deserted close planet to them to live?
Don't misunderstand me, I enjoyed the ride, but at the end, u realize that nothing of this is logical.. The only thing that really was amazing in the series, was the virtual reality trips in the alien worlds and some cgi effects.
Damsel (2024)
A reverse fairytale-second review
Forget about the brave knight and the charming prince who save the day.. In this movie, a girl is who saves the day..
Here, we are watching the middle age story of a poor but decent princess, who accepts to marry a distant prince to save her people..
But about the time that she starts to like the prince and get married, she realizes that her fate is to become a sacrifice for the local dragon, for the sins of the past..
From this point, starts a struggle for survival inside the dark and enormous dragon lair, which is watchable for ages until 12..
The girl, falls in deep pits, suffer burns, cuts, but always stands powerful, without any serious body damage, she is not thirsty or hungry, finds cure for the fire wounds, she finds out how to use the worms as a torch and she finally finds a map on a rock showing the exit! Then she is climbing a 50 feet well full with sharp crystals to get out..
Finally, she fights the dragon threatening him with a sword near the the eye as if she had a magnum, the dragon is wounded by his own fire and the golden heart girl cures the dragon instead of finishing it
Then friends with the dragon from now on , punish the evil queen, her mute king and the puppet prince, burns the whole palace with all the residents there and returned to her country to live happily ever after.
That's the story, woman power at its best, mbb charming as always and the dragon possibly lives until today, not harming anyone.
Come Sunday (2018)
This is exactly what the devil wants us to believe
I haven't watched the movie, there is no need since I read the sumnury... As an orthodox Christian, is impossible to accept this dogma of this priest, because is false and besides, if so, Jesus sacrificed himself on the cross for no reason.
Secondly, God is love but also he is justice.. Thirdly, this movie teaches that there is no need to support Jesus or believe in him, since all people will be saved anyway.. Finally, this movie ridicules all the martyrs of Christianity who gave their life for Jesus during severe persecutions the last 2000 years..
I will not quote the words of Jesus about hell, other commentators have already done it, but I think that this movie is very far from Christianity.. The next step, will be a film where a priest will preach that the coming antichrist is the true god.. Very sad things...
Spaceman (2024)
Spiderman
The title should have been Spiderman, not spaceman..
He had to go 500 million miles away to regret leaving his loving wife alone and pregnant? All these flash backs and parallel stories are boring.. I was moving forward the movie to avoid all these scenes and I don't think that I missed something..
Now, the creature.. Was it real? Was it in his mind? Probably.. But really, I have no idea and I don't mind, honestly..
Anyway, hugging a spider, is very bold and prototype although without any meaning.
I like Adam Sandler especially in his comedies... This one was not a comedy, was not a drama, was not a Sci fi.. It was a film without any meaning, I didn't find any interest in it..
The only tasty thing in this movie, was the nut cream.
Disquiet (2023)
Noone knows what this story is about.
I watched this last night.. The story was promising and I I am a fan of the supernatural and metaphysical themes.. But this one, I can't put it in any specific category, I really don't know what it was.. There were times I was interested and times I wanted to laugh... All the signs were indicating that he was in some kind of purgatory, but no, because he was still alive although in coma.. So, he was dreaming? Possibly, but why his dream had to become a film? 7 billion people on earth are dreaming every night, I am not interested in anybody's dreams...and after the dream, he obviously, dies watching a light.. So what? This is the story...
Now let's talk about acting.. The main character was flat, the rest were like cartoons except Virgil who was the only one with some logic in this mess... The special effects were 50 years behind, especially the 3 demon girls who reminded me the old Dracula films of the 70ies...
Anyway, I will not say that the movie is absolutely trash, it has its good moments, but in general it was a poor try...
Oxygène (2021)
Good just good
Let's start with the positive points..
1. Good photograph
2. Good acting
3. Good director
4. Mystery for the first half of the movie
5. Advanced tech
Now the negative points..
1. Hole plots and mistakes
2. Ignorance of basic space
3. Impossible design of the spaceship
4. No need of all these communicating systems in a cryo chamber
5. No need of a computer voice company in a cryo chamber
6. In 12 years the spaceship is only 65000 kms away from earth? Even a bicycle could go better.
7. Since in the new planet only a small zone can be inhabited in a low daylight, what is this sunshine at the beach?
8. What kind of survival of the human race is this? The human race will be replaced by clones?
9. Instead of this monstrous idea of this colonization, why they didn't try to cure the disease?
10. Why the cryo chambers were exposed to space?
Anyway, it's watchable.
The Langoliers (1995)
It has haunted me
Almost 25 years have passed since I watched this movie, but I have to say, that the idea of this movie has haunted me.. It's a very original and exciting idea.. All other movies about time, present time travels, time paradox, time loops, things that are really very fictional and never proven... But this movie has a clear statement.. There is no case to travel to time, the past is gone for ever, has vanished or eaten literally by these all eating guards of the universe.. These strange beings were not presented with great special effects, but the idea that they may exist, is really scary..
As for the movie execution, I was satisfied, the emptiness was scary, the cast very good, except the overacting of Mr toomy and the poor acting of the blind girl..
Indeed the idea of this movie, will live in my mind forever.
The Chosen (2017)
The human side of the bible
I ve just finished watching the first season.. As a true believer, I found it very good and interesting, despite some details that don't exist in the holy text..
This series focuses on the human side of Jesus and the apostles, the difficult life of the poor, their private and social relationships and incidents that are not in the text but don't decrease the true spirit and the divine power of it.
The acting is very good, of course the attention and focus is on Jesus, Simon, Matthew and nicodimus, at least at the first season I watched, the places and clothing are believable and the Romans are well performed.
I recommend it.
The Truman Show (1998)
Masterpiece.
One of the 3 life changers movies of all times.. The other two in my opinion are matrix and a wonderful life each one for different reasons.
The Truman show is clearly about the endless search of the eternal unsatisfied human soul as it is described in Genesis and the garden of eden.. Adam and eve were living in divine happiness, they had immortality, no hunger, no thirst, no need of anything.. So, why they disobeyed God? What more they wanted?
Back to the movie again.. Truman was living a perfect life in an ideal place, with a beautiful wife, ideal neighbors, a good job, no poverty, no worries, no illnesses.. So, what made him to want to know more? To want to travel ? To search for the frightening truth? To escape from the paradise?
This movie must be studied in universities as the absolute proof of a higher purpose that make human a so complicated being.. Even God, (Ed Harris) couldnt prevent Truman from escaping eden, as God of Genesis couldn't prevent Adam despite all the miracles of eden, from sin and corruption..
Besides all the above, this movie is an allegory about the fake world we all live in, the hypocritical society and the elites that rule our lives..
Jim Carey is a phenomenal actor,he exaggerates some times because of his rich talent, but in this movie, he plays a very believable, innocent, moderate and good hearted guy who handles the excellent script with respect and balance.. All the actors anyway are very good.
I recommend it.
The Killer (2023)
Not exactly terrible, let's say, horrible
I watched this yesterday night.. I like fassbeinder.. The first 5 minutes looked interesting.. Then, as time pass by without anything to happen, u wonder what is the point of watching a killer who definitely is a psychopath, preparing his bloody work for half an hour in the movie.. Then after the impressive preparation, when the time comes, he misses the target! OK, hilarious, I know.. From that point, to be honest, I didn't have a clue from what was happening on screen and why all these journeys and killings.. In the comments here I realized that the client revenged his failure, by torturing his lady thousands of miles away, so the killer started a blood round to find who the client was... Utter crap! OK, if u ask me, the killer doesn't deserve any sympathy, he kills bad and good people with the same indifference thing that makes him repulsive, John wick killed 10 times more, but at least they were all villains, they deserved it.. Here the killer seems to kill without any guilt, taxi drivers, innocent working ladies, except the pit bull, which is a good thing, I love dogs too, but that scene looked at least weird..
I was waiting for two hours to see the twist in the plot, what will happen at the end, nothing happened, end of story..
Conclusion.. Although Tilda s joke at the end was old and cold, was the best part of the movie.
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
a matrix film , owes to be something better than that...
When i heard months ago , that there will be a fourth matrix, i was very excited, because i thought that there will be a propper ending to the story... it seems that the final result, its not what i was hoping to see....i watched some cutscenes , i read some reviews and i decided not to bother...i have seen the first 3 movies, they were amazing, but they had to stop it there or to give a better ending to the series..i may be wrong, but i feel i am right...i am now waiting for the next john wick that i hope to be legendary.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (1993)
its all about bajorans
I finished watching the series recently and i have to say that its a very good show with interesting characters and plot...my favorite character is quark for his solid performance...commander sisko is arrogant in my opinion and the whole emissary thing is weird ...most of the plot is about planet bajor and bajoran people..even the dominion war is a lesser fact...my less favorite character is kira..i cannot understand why she was against commander eddigton who supported the markis against the cardassians allthough she is still an enemy of the cardassians ..when i saw that episode i got angry with her and sisko too..
Anyway, the series is interesting.
Enterprise (2001)
A bitter taste at the end..
I ve watched it recently..its a very good series...TPal was its best asset..i was also touched by the cute biggle, porthos... Captain Archer was also good at times and Flox too... as for Trip, was a tragical charackter in my opinion.. anyway, the series had passion and enthusiasm but lacked of realism....an unexperianced crew and a weak vessel without serious sheilds at its first journey, had not even one chance against alien advanced civilaizations...but we can overcome it for the sake of the series..the Agent Daniels was also an unnecessery add to the show, allthough an interesting and original character.
I also found the relationship of Trip and TPal irritating...until the last 4-5 episodes, it wasnt clear if they had an affair or not..and the last episode was beautifully made and touching , but sad...the idea of commander Riker performing the last episode, was very good.....anyway the show was good.
Star Trek: Voyager (1995)
A tribute to a loving series
Yes,many years have passed since the series...but after watching it lately, i feel that i have to say some things about the series...
In some point of view, the voyager , maybe the best trek series of all time...the journey, the agony, the adventures, the special effects, the despair for arriving home, make voyager unforgettable...and of course we have Seven of nine..who is by far, the protagonist of the series...her romance with Chakote and the last episode in which Janeway returns to the past , risking her life, JUST TO CHANGE THE FUTURE , SO SEVEN AND CHAKOTE LIVE TOGETHER AND NOT DIE, will remain for ever in my heart...
Voyager deserves a good place among the trek series.
Star Trek: Discovery (2017)
overall=6- Burnham files
The first season was something like star trek but not star trek.. my rate is 4 for the first season ....i just finished watching the second season...well, much better...thanks to Captain Pike! Who added the sense of star trek we all knew and loved! Spok also helped, enterprise too...despite the exagerrated story and pseudoscience, this season was nostalgic and emotional... Burnham was better also...but captain Pike made the difference... for the second season i give an 8.
I finished the third season... i keep the good elements such as Book and his cat.... i keep the special effects also...all the rest are at least, naive..the crew from the 23 century humiliating the technology of the 32 century? Lol!come on! And the crying of a kid kelpien is destroying the technology in all galaxy? Really?
I rate the third season with a 5, just for the original idea and the happy ending..overall the series gets a 6 from me cos is trying to be star trek .
For the record, my rating for the other star trek series are:
original-8 ( who can dissagree? Allthough today looks a little old fashioned)
enterprise-7 (for TPal and porthos)
voyager-8(for the adventure and for seven of nine)
next generation-9 (Picard is one and only)
deep space nine- 9 ( very interesting)
John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019)
8 and more
In a world with the policemen hidden in the police stations , the high Table is the ultimate authority and has rules and protocoles of honour...if u obey , u may survive, if not , u are dead in hours..this is the world of John Wick and he is very respectable in there...
The majority of people here love the action, but i love more the rules and protocoles of the organization...they have codes of honour and codes of distruction...John is the ultimate survivor..a man that can disobey when he thinks its right ..he has the skills to do it...the action scenes are continuus and imaginative..the hero is not a superman, he can bleed, suffer, fall , and can be serious injured...but has the will to survive and continue his task...Keanu is not the super actor but has this something that makes him always likeable to the audience..he speaks rarely like a spartan but can speak many languages..he is kind and vulnerable but ruthless when he must...i like all the 3 movies..its obvious that there will be a fourth...i imagine that it will be the justification of the hero...well done!
The Others (2001)
excellent!
The movie is unique! A ghost story, from the side of the ghosts! No gore, no blood, no monsters, just a story where real people and ghosts coexist, but u don't know who are real and who are the ghosts.. Ignore some haters and enjoy the story.. U will learn many about life after death! I ve watched it 22 years ago and I can't recall some parts of the movie, concerning the part of the servants and the mysterious mission of Mrs mills along with the small part of the returning husband, if anyone can explain these parts to me I ll be thankful, but anyway, this movie is top!
Avengers: Endgame (2019)
time travel? ideal for plot holes!
Time travel destroys any film...time travel doesnt exist in the physical world..its an invention of writers and authors to close plot holes and impress audiances...so, any film or book containing time travel, IS A MESS! so, i dont see any reason to grade this movie more than 2 stars...cgi, fights, ok , but a real good movie, must have a believable story! for me, sorry it didnt work...
question...why thor and hulk had to be humiliated so much in this movie ? why toni stark had to die? to offer the framatic essence to the story?
is this the end of marvel heroes?
A Quiet Place (2018)
no, no...
Ok, i watched it...at first i thought it was one of the 1920 movies without sound and waited to hear the piano accompaning the script ...there was no piano...at that moment i thought it was a film with deaf-mute characters..no it wasnt....then i found it..it was a film about paranoia...or else how can i describe a family life depending on absolute silence, that decided to bring a baby in the world? as far as i know, new born babies do one thing 16 hours per day..crying loudly! well, ok..lets forget about it..another thing and last one...since the family seemed to have infinite electricity source, why the father didnt make any traps for the monsters? he had a big handy rifle too..anyway, the script was beyond critisism ..there is no way blind and vulnerable creatures of a man size , no matter how fast they are, to devastate whole countries in the 21st century , its impossible . where was the army ?.the atmosphere and acting was good, but i found the scenario, terrible!
Alien: Covenant (2017)
its a pity...
I loved Prometheus for its originality and because it moved the series one step forward...after Prometheus, i was waiting in anticipation for the sequel and the evolution of the engineer story..after 5 years i deserve this one? from where to start and where to finish in this mess? i have spotted the main issues and problems in my opinion : 1. a starship with 2000 colonists in cryosleep is travelling for years under the supervision of ''mother'' and an android.2 .after a serious incident and damage to the solar sails!!!(i never understood why these sails were open wide in the vast space) the crew awakes (the captain is burning right away) and a mysterious song- signal is transmitted from an unknown near planet..3. after a discussion of 3 minutes, the captain decides to leave the course and go to investigate, because the crew denies to go to cryosleep again!!!4. they go down the surface almost the whole crew , and get out of the ship without any suits, helmets or masks, because the computer says that the air is breathable! (no germs? no viruses? no microorganisms?)5. after a little while , 2 members are infected by spores of some kind and they found the engineer ship..6. they don't search at all the engineer gigantic ship after finding accidentally Elizabeths Shaw identity..7.the infected men gave birth to alien creatures which kill half the crew..8. David makes his appearance with long hair and saves the rest..9. He get them to the city where still thousands of burnt corpses are remaining but no one seems to care ...10. David shows them his lab and tries to make Walter his allie with no result, meanwhile some hilarious things happen between the two androids...11. David is the creator of the aliens , using poor Elizabeth..12. Departure of the remaining crew from the planet and as always fight to get rid of a xenomorph which entered the ship..13. David is in the ship pretending to be Walter..14. David put to sleep the crew smiling with satisfaction and inserted alien embryos to the system for future use ..end of the story... Notices: 1. Wo is such a moron to investigate an alien planet without any precautions? 2. Why David killed the domestic population since he hates only human as he says ? 3. There is not one comment in the whole film about the race of engineers as they never existed 4. David as a free will android and the creator of the aliens makes no sense at all 5. a huge ship with colonists with David in charge goes to its destination to do what?6. What about the engineers and why Elizabeth was killed? THE GOOD : picture, filming, David. THE BAD : the plot, the horror, the atmosphere. conclusion: failure.
Life (2017)
i stopped watching this kind of movies years ago
Since i voted 3 stars for covenant, this one has to take 1...i am a sci fi fan from my childhood, but enough of this kind of stories..a jelly like being, looking intelligent, changing shapes, making disgusting things to people and animals, and so? cant we make a story about a serious contact with a serious alien race? or we will continue messing with stupidities?
The Discovery (2017)
it makes u think...
well...i don't understand, why many friends here , complain why the ''after life'' of the movie does not contain any religion content, or paradise or hell, or Jesus and angels, white lights etc...my opinion, is that the movie is a sci fi-philosophical drama and it is indeed very well structured ... the film basically is describing a kind of purgatory, where all people can fix the guilts of their real life...of course, it has hole plots, u cannot tell when this loop ends and if it ends what is next...u cant even tell if the whole story in the film is in the after life of Will..i think it is..anyway, i liked it very much, the acting is very good from all characters and the story is believable..i don't agree with some of u who say that the film is for atheists, not at all, from my point of view maybe hell is something like that, to be forced to fix your premium life no matter if its reality or not..and after all,Someone must have built this realm for some purpose, so the believers have nothing to worry, the film is not about atheism at all...as the main character said in the film, we people , make the same mistakes, wherever and all the time....
The Equalizer (2014)
an equalized john wick?
if u ask me which is better , john wick 2 or the equalizer , i ll say with no hesitation, the equalizer...the hero is a badass too yes, kicking asses , putting traps, predicting everything, but its Denjel! a good actor! and the movie has a plot! a believable plot, although some clichés are here too..in fact the entire story is upon Denjel s shoulders..and he made it ! his fight style is also natural and well performed and not gun fights and shot heads like Wick s...the villains are also believable in their part...well, i enjoyed it!
John Wick: Chapter 2 (2017)
20000 bullets loose target
well..what to say....i do like this kind of movies, i liked the first one as a prototype, i liked the choreography of fights, the story..(simple but solid)...revenge is a great motivation in this kind of movies...the difference between chapter 1 and 2 is this ..in chapter 1, revenge was the only motivation..in chapter 2, revenge is a small part, survival is the issue...survival at any cost...yes, its very fascinating watching Wick' s skills, killing his enemies in every possible way no matter how many , but its a little too much for common sense ! i mean , if the future or the present condition of the world is john wick 's world, a world full of assassins and bosses, a world where anyone who dares to stand is meant to be killed in a couple of hours, a world where anyone who resists must have john wick 's skills to stay alive , this world is really a nightmare...anyway, the movie is impressive although kinda like a video game (shoot-kill-proceed- next stage)...two are the things that make the difference in the movie...1. the stylish directory and the fights and 2. the very good performances by most of the actors ...the ending is promising a third chapter , and i hope in the third chapter we will see John smiling a little...
