Annihilation Review:



My Thoughts​

My brother GC and I watched this movie yesterday. It was a science fiction movie. It had a slower feel to it.

This movie focused on creating a certain atmosphere with that mood.

It is the kind of movie to watch if you feel like watching something artsy.

It is open to interpretation.

I've seen it twice -- I "liked" it...
 
@goodjohnjr Thanks for your comments and for sharing your review. Just a small clarification: in my case I haven’t read the book, my experience was only with the series (I watched the first and second seasons, and the third is still pending). That’s why I found your perspective from the book so valuable, because it helps me better understand the differences and the potential of the original story. 🎬❌📖
Oh! No problem, thank you for clarifying. :D

I am glad that my perspective as a person who read the book, helped you.

And good luck finishing season 3 one day.

Hopefully someone will pick up the rights to the show and finish it one day.

What Is It?

The 2016 British science fiction action horror film Kill Command (Identify).

Which was directed by the director Steven Gomez.

And starred the actress Vanessa Kirby (as the character Katherine Mills).

And the actor Thure Lindhardt (Thure Frank Lindhardt) (as the character Captain Damien Bukes).

Kill Command Official US Release Trailer 1 (2016) – Vanessa Kirby Movie:

It is about a female cyborg named Katherine Mills.

Who works for a corporation called the Harbinger Corporation.

Causing the machines to attack them forcing them to try to survive while trying to figure out what is going on.

First 8 Minutes Of Kill Command:



Why Do You Like It?

This film had amazing visuals and special effects for such a low-budget film.

Allegedly less than $2 million according to some rumors that I saw online.

But I have not seen any official listing of the budget for this film.

I like some of the future technology that was shown, especially some of the cyborg technology.

And I think that it was pretty good for a low-budget science fiction film.

Why Would Someone Else Like It?

I think that other people will like the visuals and special effects, the technology.

Some of the action and horror elements.

And how it is a contained film that will probably remind you of some other films.

Kill Command 2016 Cml Theater Movie Review:



My Thoughts


I think that Kill Command was pretty good for a low-budget film, but it had some flaws like:

Not explaining and setting up the world well enough.

It could have had a bit more going on during certain parts that somewhat dragged a bit.

And there were a few other issues.

But for a contained film on such a low-budget they did a pretty good job.

RottenTomatoes give it a 0% so I'll probably take a pass.
There were only 7 comments on rotten. One says the jokes are old. And another says they don't make these anymore. We are old folkgees, you will like it.

Color Out of Space (2020) Movie Review:



My Thoughts

I would not have known about this movie if it were not for a YouTube video.

Called Color Out Of Space – Angry Movie Review by the YouTube channel AngryJoeShow:



This movie somewhat reminds me of a bit of a combination of the movies Annihilation, Mandy, and Hereditary.

This movie was slightly better than I had expected.

The main actors and actresses did a good job acting like a real family.

Their good chemistry made it possible.

This movie did a good job playing around with colors.

It accelerated the craziness.

As usual, Nicolas Cage did a good job as things got crazier.

Unfortunately, the movie ended without explaining much at all and left me with too many questions.

If you’re one of those who enjoy playing the “armchair detective,” this 6‑episode miniseries is an ideal choice. Magpie Murders blends classic mystery with a clever meta‑literary twist: an editor trying to uncover the missing ending of a novel while realizing that the author’s death might not be what it seems. It’s a story within a story, where fiction and reality intertwine to create elegant, gripping suspense reminiscent of the great enigmas of detective fiction, similar to Agatha Christie. ❓🕵️‍♂️📺

The 2018 Japanese anime (animated) television show Violet Evergarden Season 1.

My Thoughts

This show has some of the most beautiful animation that I have seen.

Episode 7 (Nameless) made me shed a tear from my right eye during the lake jump scene.

Manly Tears – Image 435,438:

Unfortunately, this show was not as good as I had expected and hoped. It was longer than it should have been.

It did not focus on Violet Evergarden’s story enough.

I was hoping for more scenes from before and during the war et cetera.

It was not bad. If they had shortened it and added more action, it would have been better.

More information about the politics of the world is needed. They did not do a good job explaining the world.

The few moments of action were good. It would be cool to see more things with this level of animation.

Train to Busan – Movie Review:



Train to Busan (2016) | Movie Review | 13 Days of Halloween:



My Thoughts


I found out about this movie during the COVID-19 pandemic quarantine.

Some commenters said it was the best zombie movie they had seen.

This surprised me because I had never heard of this movie before.

A sequel of this movie called Peninsula (Train To Busan Presents: Peninsula) will be coming out soon.

So, I decided to watch this movie on Netflix before it comes out.

To my surprise, this was possibly among the best zombie movies that I have ever seen.

It is definitely the best zombie movie that I have seen in several years.

It is a shame that this movie came out several years ago without most people knowing about it.

Most people still do not know about it.

This is probably because it is a South Korean movie that is not dubbed in English.

To my surprise, reading the English subtitles did not bother me. I adjusted to it almost instantly.

The actors and actresses playing the zombies did a good job with contorting their bodies and acting wild.

The acting was better than I had expected.

There were emotional moments that brought a few tears to my eyes. I did not cry, though.

There was tension. The special effects were better than I had expected.

There were some nice action scenes. The ending was not bad.
 
Just watched. OK to watch


Since I'm a Milla Jovovich fan, I'll watch this tonight.

A K-movie masterpiece, and it may still hold the top spot on the charts.
 
Beef (2026) Netflix Season 2 (8 episodes) I've watched 6 of 8 episodes in the past 2 days. I'd call it a quirky dark comedy, written by Koreans. I cannot get IMDB to open for the link tonight for more info. Not sure where it was filmed, but mostly in English with occasional subtitles for Korean. Good actors, and acting. Season 2 does not follow from Season 1, it is new story.

The 2020 Netflix American adult animated TV show Blood Of Zeus Season 1.

Should You Watch ‘Blood of Zeus’ on Netflix?:



My Thoughts


This show was not bad but it was only average in my opinion, a 3 out of 5.

It has more potential, but it was too stereotypical while not exploring the world and lore and characters enough.

Most of the characters had less personality than they should have in my opinion.

I do not even remember the main characters name. :D

And many of the Greek deities were not named or shown or had much of a role like Athena et cetera.

This show reminded me of the animated TV show Castlevania.

Except Castlevania was a bit better than this show with characters with a bit more personality than this show.

The 2018 Japanese anime (animated) TV show SSSS.Gridman Season 1.

SSSS Gridman | Not Worth My Time:



My Thoughts


I forgot that I did not review this show, it was that forgettable to me.

I called it SSS.Sleepman because I fell asleep a few times watching this.

My brother GC and I watched this anime on Toonami.

When we saw the trailer for this anime we were not expecting to like it that much.

And our assumptions were correct.

We did not like this anime, the battles / fights were boring over-the-top nonsense.

And some of the only things that we did like.

Was when they actually showed the main characters living their normal lives.

Surprisingly the normal live parts were the best thing about this show, other than that.

It was mostly a waste of time, and was background noise.

But there were a few unique and creative things about the lore / plot though.

Fortunately this show was short.

We both respect them for not wasting too much of our time.

Also, the background animation was good.

My Thoughts​


Early this morning (April 8, 2023) before going to sleep.

I finished watching the 2023 science fiction movie 65.

Which was partly filmed in Louisiana.

I liked it better than most of the critics.

To me, it was average and lacking some things, a 5 out of 10, in my opinion.

It should have better balanced out the film in my opinion.
