Shadowhunters (2016–2019)

It builds its own version.

[8/10 · 9 May 2018]

The new season of Shadowhunters clearly makes a stable foundation of what makes its book counterpart so intriguing. I believe this is the time where it shines and subsumes itself to the character and environment of the book that all readers are familiar of. Season 3 is the stepping stone of what could become a long running show.

My advice, withhold all judgements on the first two seasons and be carried away of the new season.

Allegiant (2016)

It was surprisingly amazing!

[8/10 · 12 March 2016]

This is coming from the perspective of a person who read the trilogy.

Okay, we can all agree that the trailers and the BIG changes took us by surprise but I went to my local cinemas yesterday and thought about why not go watch Allegiant? It took a lot of will power for me to consider whether or not I am going to buy a ticket because I love the books so much and I know that Insurgent has been a slight disappointment due to changes also but, that movie was good. Anyway, The movie, Allegiant, translated its book parent to be mainstream like explosions, war, and whatnot. That is only because the book Allegiant is not really focused on the war but more focused on political matters concerning Chicago experiments and the existential crisis of characters who have gone and learned the truth beyond the wall.

The movie was great it has kept the plot and the whole purpose of the story. The changes like earth being Mars, excessive airships and armies were there to make the movie appealing to those who like typical science fiction events.

SPOILER-Y SECTION OF MY REVIEW: (contains minimum details concerning the part 1.) I liked that they had involved the Chicago factions to what is really outside the wall. It was an amazing exploration because the only people who were protecting Chicago from the books were Tris, Four, Caleb, Cristina, I think Uriah's brother or Uriah, I forgot. Anyway the point is, it WAS NOT THEIR FIGHT, it was the fight of every people and their rights of being alive Genetically Damaged or not! This has affected me greatly because finally when the heartbreaking event happens in the part 2, Ascendant, the heroes who have died will not only be remembered by their friends but, by their people. The movie gives more justice for them.
