The Last of Us (2023)
Must watch post-apocalyptic searies
I enjoyed this series thoroughly. The leading actors are great, the story is great and more than anything else the direction and the atmosphere are phenomenal. Many films and series have tried to achieve the effect but very few are at this level of immersion. I have not enjoyed episode three which feels like a rogue afterthought and does not belong to the main story. Everything else is superb. One important thing is that episodes really carry through the story and unlike other series which reserve the interesting part in the initial and final episodes, this one has several high and interesting points that keep you glued to the screen. The infected do not appear in every other corner and this is good because this could well end up as an afterthought of the Walking Dead. What is amazing is the portrayal of human fear, antagonism and danger to each other. All in all, I highly recommend watching this amazing series.
Colony (2016)
Amazing sci-fi series
This is an amazing sci-fi series with interesting characters and a great script. It starts nicely and progresses in a very interesting way as layers are slowly peeled off and certain issues are answered as episodes develop. The abrupt cancellation after season is a major disappointment. I consider this show a sci-fi classic and would love it if it was taken up and further develop by a new studio.
House of Cards (2013)
Great start and free fall
This series started great, somewhere it became a time waste, it eventually wrapped up with a stupid ending. I am glad the star actor had to leave because then this would never end.
Red Sparrow (2018)
Serious suspenseful spy thriller
I have not watched an interesting film like this for some time.
IO (2019)
Slow but decent film
This film is far from perfect, it is slow and does not have surprises, however it has well played characters and deals with an issue most films do not deal with in a realistic way.
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Good film for Star Wars fans
You really cannot ignore a Solo film if you have grown watching Star Wars. It is an exciting subject even though you have watched the horo's death and now come to see how he developed they way he is portrayed in the original Star Wars series. Saying this, I have to say that this particular film did not have major exciting points despite the several action scenes and the high quality of film making and special effects. Compared to Rogue One (that was actually a formidable and exciting film), Solo is just another adventure that is elevated by its heritage and not its actual value. I am sure Disney wants to milk the Star Wars franchise as much as possible but we have come to a point where level of interest has to stay high and this does not mean quantity has to continue at current rates. The movies that supplement the episodes are a great idea (made true by Rogue One), if they are to help however they must stay as interesting as Rogue One. Solo is not a bad movie, it is just that it is not interesting enough and someone that has not watched other Star Wars films would never bother to give it a second thought.
Shooter (2016)
Gripping series
I found Shooter to be a well paced action drama. The actors are very well suited to their roles and the action is quite intriguing. I have not read the books but found every single episode interesting, especially the ones with throwbacks to Afganistan and Vietnam. Contrary to most people, I found seasons 2 and 3 better than season 1. A pity that there were only three seasons, but then again better to keep things higher quality and short.
How It Ends (2018)
Incomplete scenario
The whole idea of the film is to keep interest level high as it is open ended. But I was let down by the lack of clarity on so many parts of the story. It is like a half finished job.
The Handmaid's Tale (2017)
Superb series
I did not know what to expect but this TV series, it has proved a great surprise! Superbly directed and very atmospheric. It shows how societies can become completely nuts in a very short time period. Although Series 1 is exactly based on book, I believe this is not the case for the forthcoming series 2 in 2018. Waiting with great excitement to see how things will develop!
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Easily forgettable
Alien Covenant is one of those films where you have seen everything before and you know that it will be open ended. Although Prometheus was heavily criticized, I enjoyed it and thought it opened very promising leads for coming films. Unfortunately all this preparation was thrown to the garbage and now we ended up with a visually beautiful film that is immediately forgettable after you leave the cinema. I do not know if Scott can make up in future films for such poor scenario and predictability...
