The Witcher (2019– )

Season 1 was 10 stars, Season 2 is 1 star

[1/10 · 27 December 2021]

The second season was slow, and it is spinning on already known charters. It is obvious that Netflix was unwilling to bring in more people and pay them, so they came up with a stupid story that forces the original characters into confrontation to create fake drama.

This season is a blueprint on how to destroy a prefect show, or just make it appealing to shortsighted unintelligent masses who feed on meaningless drama.

A poor attempt in replicating the drama at the end of each episode in the style of game of Thrones, which obviously works for the majority of the population proving once again we already live "The Idiocracy".

Foundation: Death and the Maiden (2021) Season 1, Episode 6

It could be good if the writers weren't intellectually disadvantaged.

[2/10 · 22 October 2021]

The whole show could be good, but the people in charge obviously have no idea about how some things work. The shootout scenes are ridiculously bad in every episode, and this one takes the cake!

The people in charge clearly have no idea how gunfights "work". Whoever wrote these scenes makes the main character look like a complete idiot. They should have hired some experts on the topic because this is unbearable. They did this in previous episodes, but this is just beyond because the gunfight scenes look and feel like they are in an 80's amateur children's film.

Instead of excitement the achieved effect is frustration. The whole episode started off great, everything was perfect until the gunfight. I literally had to stop the episode there.

Dune (2021)

Empty

[6/10 · 17 October 2021]

The first two episodes of 'the Foundation' have more epic moments than this whole movie, and I'm not blown away with that show either. This whole film feels like a pilot of a TV show. Like a really long trailer into what might be an exciting movie somewhere down the line, but they can't show it to you right now. You'll see a lot of action and cool scenes, but later, ...maybe next year. Pathetic.

Foundation (2021– )

Dragging it out as log as possible

[6/10 · 8 October 2021]

The first two episodes were good, the 3rd and the 4th are just dragged out moments that could be summed up in 5 minutes. The writers clearly have no idea what to do and want to make this as long as possible. Started out great, ended up horrible.

Star Trek: Discovery (2017–2024)

Finally!

[10/10 · 9 October 2017]

Thank God it's not the old Star Trek.

The characters aren't politically correct childish idiots invented by a skinny fat dude who never had a gram of stress in his life. It's not a "safe" show that's going to tell you everything is going to be fine. In fact everything is darker and serious. I hated the old Star Trek because everything about it was childish. Finally they made it the way it was always supposed to be.

Don't bother reading the negative comments. The people who write them are probably triggered by a fart and cry when they see a leaf being torn from a branch by the wind.

Entourage (2015)

Total Garbage

[1/10 · 25 August 2015]

I was a fan of the show. I loved it, but the movie is just total garbage. I almost fell asleep twice. Every single episode is better than everything they combined to put in this film. You know the feeling when you know exactly what is going to happen and it happens? Well, that's exactly what I got from Entourage the Movie. The score this movie got here is the best example how irrelevant and fake IMDb has become... or how corrupt the scoring system is. You can pick the version of the truth you like the most, still it won't change the fact. If you still haven't seen this movie, just wait for it on the TV. Don't waste your money. One of my favorite shows, one of the most boring movies I have ever seen.

Extraterrestrial (2014)

Got to see the end to love it.

[7/10 · 17 October 2014]

As I got to 30 minutes into it, I thought I'll hate this movie. The beginning and the middle are cliché but the ending is a surprising twist even though a lot of the stuff is "borrowed". If you are a fan of sci-fi you will recognize certain ideas and scenes from older hit movies-series, but I guess it was all intentional with a goal to bring these to younger audiences. About the ending, I must say I didn't see that coming and at first it made me angry but then I recognized a character at the end and it all got clear. It had the perfect ending that made this movie unique. As I look back I realize the movie makers actually had the intention of mixing up a classic teenage horror with the classic sci-fi - conspiracy theory genre. I do recommend this film if you are into the genres I mentioned earlier.

The Final Destination (2009)

This is so bad, I could't believe it!

[1/10 · 29 November 2009]

I saw this movie yesterday, and I have to clear it out for the filmmakers: "I don't care about the 3D stuff! The movie is bad!"

This was worse then Alien vs Predator 2. The actors were awful, well not all of them! Shantel VanSanten was terrible, so bad I felt like I was watching a B grade porno. That's right, you see better actresses in adult movies nowadays.

The main reason I gave 1 star to this movie is cos I was looking forward viewing it, and I can honestly say it's not worth the money, hell it's not even worth the bandwidth you'd spend downloading it.

Hollywood, as we know it is dieing ladies and gentleman. Is it because of the rich spoiled children that must get roles in stupid movies made by rich stupid movie makers, I don't know, but it sure feels like it.

Thank god there are a few great people that can bring Hollywood back the old fame, otherwise it would be like Chuck D said: "Burn Hollywood burn I smell a riot going' on ...."

2012 (I) (2009)

Well... could be better but it just had to be Hollywood!!!

[7/10 · 21 November 2009]

My comment won't contain much of a spoiler but I warned you anyways just so you know.

I recently saw this film, it's not as bad as some say. It's great. I only had a problem with the ending cos they did it Hollywood style and it ruined it a little, but I think people will enjoy this movie the second and the third time because it's phenomenal and the cgi is fantastic.

The story is OK, the actors are great, everything is perfect except the part of the story that some governments would ask for 1 billion euros for saving old ugly people instead of filling the arks with fertile young healthy smart people who could save the human race?!? The money is no good after the apocalypse. And since all the governments know it's the end of the world, why would they charge anything? It's lame!

I know there's a lot of rich people but I doubt that 2000 people could pay a billion euros each?! If this is possible then those people should be taxed correctly and we'd be out of the economic crisis in a second. In fact, I doubt that this amount of euros exists globally. Now don't come to me that it's dirty money cos that would make even more stupid than it is.

Why would governments build ships that can collide when the tsunami comes if they could just build submarines so the 'take off' could go without a risk?!?!

So the movie is filled with mistakes, but there is one that was just ridiculous, and since I read most of the comments on IMDb I have to quote one brilliant: '380: While a plane is moving down a runway, your family (in the plane) can see your small little hands coming up out of a crater.'

Now that you know what I'm talking about, go watch this film despite all the mistakes they made while filming it. I know I'll see it again because I like the destruction in it. It's Hollywood, and it's just like it's meat to be.

Pandorum (2009)

Wow, and I was pessimistic about this?!?!?

[10/10 · 15 November 2009]

Let me say something first. I read a bunch of reviews and I started out really pessimistic about this movie by looking for flaws etc. If somebody can honestly say he did not get a bunch of money for writing a bad review about this movie and is a sci-fi fan he is either lying or totally insane.

I think this movie isn't only sci-fi, I think it's more of a horror but I loved it just for what it became eventually. The claustrophobic atmosphere in the movie adds to the excitement and lets not speak about the 'things'. Well, the 'things' were some of my favorite creepy beings lately.

I'm not going to spoil it for you. If you like real sci-fi movies you got to see this and you will love it, however if you're not into this genre or you didn't like Aliens etc. don't bother.

If you decide to watch this film, be sure to pay close attention to the details so it can pull you into the story. I don't think this movie can be watched and enjoyed with 3 drunk friends.

The ending is great, and I didn't expect that, so go for it.

Stag Night (2008)

Oldschool, but new!

[8/10 · 8 October 2009]

I seriously don't know why people didn't like this movie that much. I have seen a bunch of these new horror movies and I can honestly say that 90% of them isn't even worth mentioning. However this flick caught me from the first frame!

If you pay attention, you can notice that this movie has some old school intro music. I loved that it reminded me of the good old horror movies in the 80's when people actually took the time to score some tunes for the movie like in Halloween and Precinct 13 etc. The film feel was also like in the 80's, not all digital, sharp and contrasted like the new movies, however the makers added some modern camera movement which made this even spookier.

I gave this movie an 8, although it's wort more in my opinion but unfortunately I've already seen a movie with a few similarities so I have to stay realistic.

Anyway, definitely a horror worth mentioning in these unfertile times of the cinema industry.

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009)

Fun but sometimes... stupid?!

[4/10 · 3 October 2009]

I've just seen this movie. I really wasn't looking forward to it, but I had some free time so I did it. I generally don't like movies like this but I don't hate them either so this might be a realistic review.

When the movie started it blew me away, I actually went "WOW!" cos it surprised me positively. I like the cast, but then again I'm not a fan of GI Joe so I don't really know what the characters should be like, still I think the actors did a decent job.

Most of the film is made in modern action sci-fi style and the scenes are packed with flawless CGI and action as they should be in a movie like this.

So far I would give this movie a 7, but...

Durring this movie I noticed 3 HUGE mistakes the movie makers made.

1. Our Joes wearing the super fast suits run after a car, jump through a train, but can't catch up with 2 bad guys one of which is a 5'4" girl running on foot?!

2. One of the Joes gets tomato sauce spilled on his mask so he can't see anymore?! I mean, If those are super freaking' suits that can jump through walls, wouldn't the scientists who built them invent a way to clear that freaking' glass?

3. Ice doesn't sink people, it floats, so You cant blow the polar cap expecting the ice to sink! My god! RETARDED!

Some parts of the movie, like the three listed above, made me mad but I still think this movie is better then AVP 2 etc, so I'm gonna give it a weak 4.

The Spirit (2008)

Unbeliveably stupid!!!

[1/10 · 20 September 2009]

I started watching this movie cos I thought it will be fun. With a cast like this you just couldn't go wrong right? Wrong! This movie was so bad, the acting was bad, theatric, old-school and disappointing. The names that appear in this movie are huge, so I guess the script might have sucked bad cos I love every single one of these actors.

I have to admit now, I could watch this movie till the end. It made me mad in the first 15 minutes. I hated the whole thing, a Sin City like cinematography that isn't Sin City?!?! Don't come to me like: "That's how Frank Miller does it!" cos he could use that excuse for the next picture instead of admitting that he doesn't have a new idea like for this one.

Don't get me wrong, I love all the movies Frank Miller did. Sin City, 300, Robocops etc. Brilliant to me. But this one is a zero!

Californication (2007–2014)

Showtime, it's SHOWTIME!

[7/10 · 20 September 2009]

This is one of the best series. Some series are long, up to 40 minutes, and if you don't want to get into watching series that much this is the real deal for you.

It has humor and drama presented to you by the best actors you could imagine for these characters. The first time I've seen this show I wanted more. It dragged me into its world cos it's something I haven't experienced. I don't know if everything they portray is realistic, but I don't really care cos it sure is entertaining. I just hope they make season four too.

Showtime is slowly killing the competition. Will they beat HBO? Who knows.

District 9 (2009)

Insane, sick, unexpected!

[10/10 · 8 September 2009]

I saw this movie 3 days ago, and I want to see it again. It's fast, no way you'll get bored with this one! The way the film makers portrayed people in this movie is disturbingly realistic. In moments I thought like: "damn, this is how it really would happen!". The CGI is awesome, flawless, surreal. The story is totally unexpected for me, that's what made me watch this film without words, and I've seen every sci-fi movie I could get my hands on. This is a must see, it's the most original film I've seen in years. I'm sure critics will find flaws in this film too, but it's just because they're payed by other film companies to do so. Starting from now, this is my favorite sci-fi of all time. 10 out of 10 stars.

The Last House on the Left (2009)

The most horrifying of Horror movies this year!

[10/10 · 11 August 2009]

This movie is excellent. Period! I have nothing else to say. It's so brutal (I've seen the unrated version) that you can't wait for the ending to happen! 10 out of 10, the losers who criticized this version for the brutality should wake up and realize that this actually happens in the world and people should really watch who they're getting friends with. All the actors were excellent because this way the movie became realistic. The villains look just like other people you can meet on the street not knowing their intentions and ending up like the girls in the film. The parents were totally real, the rage on the face of the father when he finds his daughter and the fear in the eyes of the mother when she faces one of the maniacs is just brutal.

Crash (2008–2009)

One of the best shows ever!

[10/10 · 10 December 2008]

I don't see the reason some people hate this show. Some say it's unrealistic which I find quite interesting. People who hate these series must be impatient and shallow looking for the final product of the social life they live themselves. The whole point of the episodes is to bounce from one story to another. As strange as it may seem, but I have seen and I know people just like some of the characters of this show. It's not an action movie with a bunch of shooting going on all the time without a reason although there are some action scenes. This is a great show! I can't wait to see the rest of the episodes. It's not my type of a show but I got hooked. I like Entourage, Californication and this is nothing like it, yet I like this one too. Don't expect to watch this and get out of the room, and still be able to follow what's going on after 5 minutes. No way! If you want to watch this, you got to sit down. I give it 10.

Aliens vs. Predator: Requiem (2007)

Really boring... too boring... I fell asleep!

[3/10 · 26 January 2008]

People come on! This movie looks like the budget was stolen, so they planned to sell a bunch of junk to the people that are true fans of sci-fi. What I mean is... I loved all the Aliens and all the Predator movies. I guess the people that liked these movies were science fiction fans, and they don't wanna see a boring story in a little town in the US about a bunch of guys in costumes acting aliens and predators in dark corners and sewers! It's just NOT SPOOKY enough! I mean, who did this movie??? It seems like the director have never seen an Alien or a Predator movie, or was watching too much sci-fi channel junk.

1st Alien on a spaceship, with visuals way ahead of their time. 2nd Alien on an alien planet, packed with action, massacre. 3rd Alien on Earth, but in an isolated prison packed with sick dudes, dark and chilling backgrounds etc. 4th Alien in a experiment facility far from the average humans, we have a pack of sick space pirates here, with a sick twist of kidnapping people to harvest aliens etc...

1st predator deep in a jungle, spooky and not average at all 2nd predator in a crime infested town packed with crazy gangsters and the finale on a Predator spaceship.. great!

1st Alien vs Predator deep under ice in an ancient underground pyramid complex built thousands of years ago for the deadly game of cat and mouse... sick!

that's what created the suspense and the feeling of excitement in these movies, that's what made them seem interesting..just like the video games.. it made the people see and experience something new throughout the movies. Locations that were really interesting!!! Also, you had a story and you could always relate some of the characters and hope they'll survive.

AVP2 - in a boring little town, bad actors, short scenes with the characters from the movie, can't relate to any of them cos they seem stupid... I mean, who cares about the car keys??? Would you seriously climb down the sewer put your hand in an river of urine and poo!??? Yeah right!!! Hahaha! STUPID!!! Aliens and predators are in dark etc.. can't see a thing! GOD!

BTW... it's totally dumb, like, earth would become extinct after this, the aliens would harvest our souls like candy, but the military can fix everything with a BOMB??!?!?!? I mean, these creatures can survive in the space, can take heat like nothing existing, and they'll just blow everything up and it's cool?!?!?! MY GOD!!! The script writer was dumb, I guess it took him 30 minutes to write the script like he was doing a sequel to the x-files.

Hollywood at it's WORST!!!!!

In other words: DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY ON THIS PIECE OF JUNK!!!

I fell asleep, but I'm not joking--- I FELL ASLEEP ON THIS JUNK MOVIE!!!
