Atlas (2024)
Like a bad videogame
This movie was like watching a 12 year old play a stupid videogame. The KI theme was a joke because it was nothing like the real development KI is taking. Just a bad idea of a bad writer who has no idea what KI is. But what do you expect from "Hollywood" this days!? The story was very very simple and there are scenes you want to give the main character a kick to the b..t because the decisions she was taking are so bad. And then all the MacGuffins... everytime you need some object or element in the story... it magically appears. Just like in real life... hahahah ... this whole thing is so stupid I hope people will rate it with 1 star, so Netflix is starting to watch on quality in the future. I do not need brain dead stuff like Rebel Moon or Atlas. Some more and I am cancelling my description.
Highlander (1986)
One of the best films ever!
This classic is really one of the best movies ever. The director did some really great scene transitions and the complete soundtrack from Queen in combination with the direction, acting and fantastic genre story is just pure MAGIC! Thank god we did get a movie like Highlander 1 because nowadays there is ZERO chance you will get something which comes even near this kind of combination. If you enjoy fantasy, scifi your have to know this movie. It excites on every level. It is a wonder somehow because it really hits a nerve and the very bad second part of Highlander shows the creator did not know what the MAGIC behind the first one was. Part 2 did everything wrong while the first one is a masterpiece. WATCH IT!
Problem Child (1990)
Best comedy EVER!
This movie is just awesome! It has the best humor ever and I do not understand the "bad" rating here! It is political incorrect and funny as hell! If you are into a more "darker" humor this is really one hell of a ride. I watch this with my kids every year since they are 5 and now my oldest is 17 and still loves the film. I get it why the movie is disliked... it is far away from the typical "Kevin alone at home" perfect world movies. It is the exact opposite showing the bad side of characters and people do not want to look into a mirror too much. But with this film you have to! Junior is looking behind the facade of his "mother", "grandpa", the neighbors and friends... even the church and priests and nuns are not spared! I LOVE THIS FILM and it is a shame we don't get more of this kind of comedies! WATCH IT! WATCH IT NOW if you have not seen it yet! Forget all the sequels to this film... there is only THIS ONE which is perfect from start to finish!
Avatar: The Way of Water (2022)
Awesome movie
This sequel is a really awesome movie. Technically it is so far ahead of other blockbuster movies it really is awesome to watch. And the 3D really is an experience. This is a movie you have to go watch on a big screen and if possible in 3D.
Regarding the story I was awaiting a bigger and more into your face blockbuster story. But Cameron did give us a very small scale story here focusing on Jacks family instead. So the fight in the end is much smaller in scale compared to even the first movie. I was not expecting that. But what he shows is really well made and incredible to look at but finally feels like a mixture of his other films, like ALIENS, TERMINATOR and even TITANIC. Not a bad thing and with AVATAR 3 coming up maybe a good decision to not show us the BIG fight already. Instead we get a good story of Jacks new family, learn about the new kid characters and can dive into this new world to catch fire and burn for more too come.
Tulsa King (2022)
Awesome series!
This is a really great show. It has the potential to be the next Sopranos or Breaking Bad. Hope they are not messing it up. Great build up in the first two episodes and a lot of comedic elements which work great. Exactly the show I was waiting for featuring Sly. Schwarzenegger should take a close look on how this kind of "old man" show can work and be so good. I waited years for King Conan to happen... and know it will never BUT Arnold, please!!! Bitte mach eine Serie, wie Sly! Eine Serie, wo Du den Bösen spielst und anderen eins aufs Dach gibst! Please Arnold make a series like Sly! It is never to late... and Silvester Stallone is showing it!
Black Adam (2022)
Tired of this beginnings...
I am tired about this kind of movies! You sit in your chair, wait for a great story to develop and they nearly ALWAYS start with telling you a complete back story in itself in the first two minutes of film. WHY? Where is "Show, don't tell!"? I am watching this to see it unfold and not get a backstory pushed into my brain in two minutes. After being flashed like this I do not care anymore about the rest of the film because I already know what awaits. Gone is the magic of an unfolding universe. Already did see it compressed into the first two minutes before... so the rest is just more of the same lame stuff! "Black Magic" makes also no sense to use in a Superhero movie which is based on Science-Fiction 90%. There is a reason magic is NOT a driving force in comics!
Please Hollywood stop giving us this nerdlike movies and concentrate on telling good and big stories again without starting a movie with a compressed two minute movie in itself! Makes NO SENSE!
Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022)
I am sad!
I am sad this show is having such a high rating here because this only shows one thing: The audience can not see any really quality anymore!
There is NO WAY you can like this show when you love the original Star Wars trilogy.
Why does everything have to go downhill this days and where are the creative minds who still know what made Star Wars magical?
Raised by Wolves (2020)
Best Sci-Fi EVER!
I really enjoy this show. The cinematography and seriousness of the material is just pure awesomeness! A really amazing new fresh concept and a true Sci-Fi show. This is made for geeks and nerds and the show delivers. Like a very long good movie. I love it and can't get enough of this world and it's characters. This show can go on and on and on and should never end. If you love Sci-Fi and haven't watched this show you have to start instantly or you will miss the best Sci-Fi show in the last ... no wait... this show is so unique and I have to say: You will miss a very special unique show you haven't seen on TV like this. The whole thing has this Ridley Scott flair of Alien and Prometheus. What a great concept! Watch it now!
Day Shift (2022)
Looked forward to this and got a stinker
This movie does not know what it wanted to be... horror... NO!... comedy... NO!... mystery... NO!... Drama... NO!... Action flick... Not really because some stupid action scenes don't make an action movie.
The whole film is stupid as hell with no real goal. Why aren't today filmmakers able anymore to deliver a good and fascinating movie with an enjoyable story? Instead they focus on stupid things, like a vampire fight in the first 4 minutes of the film without any context... and not even make the fight interesting but instead show how stupid the main character can act and how bad his jokes are. Everyone want to create a new Indiana Jones 1 but instead creates a Killer Tomato movie. Go back to school before you start doing movies. And with this I mean the complete team, starting with the writer of this movie and ending with the director.
You get an F.
Westworld (2016)
Still the best Sci-Fi series!
I see why people are downrating seasons 2 to 4 because Westworld isn't about Westworld anymore! Instead it has grown up and opened a complete new world which is much bigger in scale and with this more complicated.
I did enjoy all seasons. 1 was something special, 2 was okay and three I loved for the whole A. I. storyline and how cool Dolores was in the first episode alone :) ... just kidding, the third season was pure Sci-Fi with a future not so far away which was awesome!
Season 4 is pure horror after having watched episode 5. This whole scenario is like watching humanity falling into hell. What a twist this was! I love it and I can not get enough of Westworld. Still thought provoking and over the top storytelling. I wish the budget would be bigger for this show and some of the pacing as phenomenal as in the first season, but compared to all the other crap on TV this is pure GOLD!
Firestarter (2022)
A lot of smoke
Rewatch the original instead... it has way more heart and brain to it!
This is more like The Omen remake. Remaking something existing to something really bad.
First: I love the novel. It is one of SK's best books. The movie with Drew also was great because it had real emotions to it and you felt with all characters a LOT! This movie is the extreme opposite. Charly is not even showing emotions when something real bad is happening at home! Or to a loved one! But of course she gets ANGRY like the Hulk when a little boy calls her names! Oh man. Anger alone doesn't make a good movie.
I never felt anything in this film and Charly was just a little brat. I mean WTF she doesn't even had control in this cat scene... compare this to the old movie and see how her powers drove her mad because she wanted to control them. Here in this film there is no logic behind her using her powers at all.
Not for me... still have a brain and am older than 10.
The Batman (2022)
Complete mess!
There is only one thing on this movie I liked: Gotham and the lighting. Everything else was written by a 12 year old without any real life experience. That is explaining the good rating because when a 12 year old watches the movie he thinks "Yeah... this was fun!" ... but for a grown-up who clearly can see behind the curtain THIS MOVIE IS TERRIBLE! There is not one character in this film which is consistent and acts like a "normal" person. And the world's GREATEST DETECTIVE is just bored throughout the film and not showing ONCE why he is the great detective. Doing a BATMAN movie and trying to show his weak spots is stupid when it is a new film which should start a series of films. I don't want Batman to follow wrong leads and then apologizing like a five year old when he took a cookie. For what kind of people was this movie made!?
This film is one thing: The best party comedy of the last 10 years when you have friends coming over and taking some shots while watching. So much fun!
Peacemaker (2022)
Can't get better than this!
I was very skeptical about a TV version of the "Suicide Squad"... but after seeing Peacemaker I even liked it more than the movie. James Gunn is the man! He is the new James Cameron for me. Every genre movie he is making is just pure magic and now he also showed how to do a TV series right! Bravo!
Chosen (2022)
This is really one of the baddest shows ever!
I love good SciFi, but what this show is delivering instead is stupid behavior of the main characters. Totally non-existent ethics because the main character is just selfish beyond believe and the question: Are danish parents really allow their 16 year old daughters to run off with a full bottle of hard whiskey to have a "great time" alone at night with lots of strangers and NOT questioning this on the next day!?
If this is a mirror for the things to come now at Netflix, I will quit!
Stay Close (2021)
Stupid story!
This is this kind of story where the logic stays out for drama and emotion. McGuffins everywhere. Stupid writing. I just waited for something really bad coming up for the police officers ex-wife. Everybody else "shines" in this series! What a piece of crap!
The Matrix Resurrections (2021)
Remember Highlander 2?
This movie is as bad as Highlander 2 or The Last Jedi.
The only thing you can take away from it is: It is proof the brain of a man really sits in his penis!
You get an idea how great this could have been but then there is no story (which makes sense), no chemistry (do not let you tell otherwise with the 5 minutes Neo and Trinity share in this movie together), no plot and no good pacing.
You get a lot of flashback scenes for the original films and in every snippet you will get reminded of how much better the old movies were.
The fight scenes suck because they do not have used professionals for this I guess.
The story at first had a nice idea but then fast moving into Absurdistan.
Everything which made THE MATRIX a good movie you will not find here. Even the "remade" scenes and "nods" to the original always fail to deliver because they are just badly redone! There is nothing of style here anymore. This whole movie feels like a crowdfunded fanfiction movie. Like this game commercial with Data and Commander Riker flying spaceships which should remind you of The Next Generation.
Huge missed opportunity here and a very sad real life story because the film maker didn't get, AFTER 20 YEARS!!! He/she had time to think about, what made the MATRIX work so well for a wide audience, how to make a working sequel. This whole movie looked rushed and has no quality to it. This script probably was written in a week.
Highlander 2!
Invasion (2021)
Awesome Sci-Fi show!
This is NOT BORING! It is an awesome show because you are pulled in by following the events like one of the different people in the series. I can see why some people think this is boring because this are todays audience who wants to see Transformers and don't have the empathy to feel anything slow moving. Every scene in this series is much better than most of other complete Sci-Fi shows!
If you are unsure to watch this because of bad ratings, think about if you like the movie "Signs" which is a very "slow" Sci-Fi movie but has a great atmosphere. If you can answer with YES this show is made for you! It is a mixture between SIGNS and WAR OF THE WORLDS and really great Sci-Fi mixed with drama and great optics. I for myself love it so far and look forward to where this all is going.
Night Teeth (2021)
Was looking forward to this...
I was really looking forward to this film after the trailer.
When the time came and I pressed play, the first shock came: Right at the beginning someone tells and explains what kind of world it is and some of the rules. That was all over for me. When I see a film, I don't want a radio play where I'm initially taught how the world works! What the hell!?
Then there are lifeless, boring characters, meaningless. You don't feel anything! After 50 minutes I turned it off because I did not care whether someone survived or died in this "story".
What's wrong with today's scriptwriters?
