The Secret of Skinwalker Ranch (2020)
No Answers
The problem is as Robert Bigalow found out there are no answers. That's weird what's the answer don't know. Do a test that's weird what's the answer don't know. Repeat endlessly. The programme definitely has recorded unexplainable phenomena but no one is any the wiser. How can they be there's a ufo look oh yeah look what is it? Don't know. The latest series they're really clutching at straws sending countless rockets up and drones. They know full well they're not getting any answers just more unanswerable questions. Entertaining for a bit but it's wearing really thin now they need a minimum of 1 answer to keep it going.
Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015)
It couldn't be perfect
On the one hand I understand the frustration with plot. It would be wrong to overlook the obvious similarities with the original trilogy. However it is completely unfair to overlook the many brilliant aspects of this film. The special effects and the return to the practical effects takes you straight back to all that was good about the original films to mark the film as 1 out of 10 on these grounds alone is unfair. The new characters are all very good. They're not perfect but they were never going to please everyone from 5 years old to 70 years old. The look of the film and specifically kylo ren is brilliant. Remember this is a movie primarily for children. Its about aliens and space ships and sword fights! BB8 is a triumph and the updated storm troopers , and general detail is amazing. The older characters are solid remember Harrison Ford is 73!? I really enjoyed this film and whilst obviously there are many similarities as I said before it is so harsh to judge this on that alone.
Dragon Crusaders (2011)
why?
Why was this film even made?
Did the people who made it watch it as a serious piece of work and think people were going to love it? It maybe fits into the 'so bad, its funny' category. The budget is so low it really doesn't give the film a chance. I would think from the point of view of someone that knows nothing about making films that the fantasy genre is the one genre you cant get away with a low budget?
Another tip if your going to make a film set in medieval times don't shoot the film in ruined castles as they wouldn't have been ruined at that time! Also use old stuff in general.....the pirates boat they board looks like what it is a brand new holiday cruiser. The type of boat you might hire for a boating holiday not one you would expect cut throat pirates to be on. Did the pirates in between raping and pillaging do some nice sightseeing making sure they maintain the boat to a high standard?!?
The cgi is poor. The gargoyles remind me of the ones off ghostbusters.
In conclusion this film looks like a group of middle aged office staff on an outward bound course running about waving puny looking axes and swords at each other. The script is non descript play the movie on mute and make your own up it will be better. The acting is bad but its a bad film so maybe the actors didn't have much chance either!
the only highlight for me was the tiny sword woman she was hot!
