3DD!3

A high-octane rollercoaster ride from start to finish. Abrams is no longer afraid to choose his own path, but he has so little damn time and just one film in which to demonstrate all of his ideas. So he dishes them all out like french fries. The action scenes are great and the outcome is pretty interesting, but all of the sprinting and redundant fan-service takes away from the movie.

Netflix hits the bull's eye again, providing an ointment against pangs of longing for Game of Thrones. I know Sapkowski’s original only from hearsay and I was saving it (for later), but it’s great fun like everyone promised. Swords and magic in all shapes and sizes (if only someone could film a good Conan at last) and with the perfect cast. Cavill plays a hardass mountain of a guy, roaring and muttering (I have been given an assignment to look like him, so beware of the side effects if you watch this with your better half), enjoying himself thoroughly. I did find it a bit hard to decide when the action was taking place (while I managed season 2 of Westworld with no problem), but in the end everything fell into place. The series finale gives you an appetite for more stories like this, so lay them on us.

Clever and compact. The last season took Mr. Robot to the finish line, but not without the greatest of sacrifices. With precision camerawork, Esmail presents a psychological deconstruction of Eliot Alderson and, despite frequent pop-culture references, also manages to be unbelievably original. Masterful plot twists and tricks played on the viewer. The most powerful aspect is the dialogue about humaneness and the end of all that is good inside us. The closing two-part episode that negates everything that has been presented so far is a surprise. A story about hearing voices.

A smart ending; strong, sad, but also full of hope, and perfectly shot. One of the best TV projects I’ve ever seen.

A plethora of exquisite fights. Young Jackie is even more rubbery than we know. The story is more of a simple fairy tale, but that's fine… when she's the right age I'll let the little one study kung fu.

Esmail raised the bar even higher before the end. At its core, Mr. Robot remains an intimate social drama, but what happens to the world around it adds an even more devastating depth. Now is just about tapping the ball into the hole.

An alternative history of astronautics, where it was the Soviets who first landed on the moon, offers a quality mix of drama and space action. First Man meets Mad Men. Nothing to fault in acting terms, Kinnaman dominates and the girls now getting more prominent roles on the wave of feminism are just fine. The final, post-credits scene inviting you to the upcoming season is great. First rate.

Bay rulez them all!  A mediocre story about a team who kills evil bastards and stage coups d’etat in exploited countries that Wernick and Reese gave a non-linear narrative structure, Dead Pool-style humor and a cool giant magnet that has its say in the final act. Lots of blood, headshots, cussing and beautiful shots of wonderful models in spectacular action scenes, all of which are typical for Bay. Reynolds plays Reynolds and the rest of the team is well cast, but you’ll remember just the stats and the great lines. The backstories are routine. I have a feeling that Bay visits the same website where I go for wallpaper and then he makes movies in the most amazing locations. I didn’t expect we’d get this far.

The gloomy direction that has little to do with space conquest gets under your skin and doesn't let go. You can do a lot of things in ten days. This is going to be even more interesting.

Crazy shit on the Moon. Playing back scenes from this series is an indication of gradual loss of sanity is both funny and scary at the same time. This runs on the spot in terms of technology and I’m impatient to see some Soviets already. The lesbian scenes just slow things down. But maybe they’ll lead somewhere.
