Just started, but there are already at least one inconsistency with what we saw up to the end of the movie. The very first episode suggested that you do not really need a white whistle to enter the last dive "lift". So what was the point of getting one? Especially if it stink so bad, that Reg can track it over very long distances? I mean, this would probably trigger lots of aggressive fauna on the…
It's quite solid. I can't say there is much that stood out to me, and made me say "wow", but I also did not notice anything that would irk me. Characters are not flat, felt realistic, grounded, actors portray them good. The story is compelling enough with all (or almost all) lines properly connecting and being quite logical. The mystery was kept nicely, I do not think there was anything that would…
After this movie the curse makes even less sense to me. I mean they have multi-storied buildings in the Abyss. Yes,1st seasonbriefly mentioned that Ozen's place (to get to which youhadto use a lift) was in a space where the curse was not present (or had less impact on), but in the movie we had a huge facility with lots of stories. I get it, that it's essentially just this white whistle…
What was the hype about this game? Ah, right... Boobs and ass. I get it, it started promotion amidst news about upcoming or even released games with very... "Unique" character models, but so a more "classic" female model could be a breath of fresh air, but is that enough? Well, I tried the demo and it's kind of "meh".
Voice acting (English one, at least) is quite poor, around the same quality as…
The movie wanted to be both romance and sci-fi, and ended up... Neither?
Well, kind of. In terms of romance it's not bad, but there is no real challenge for the relationship, there is no "messiness" or some "adversary" here, so it's not particularly interesting. Characters do develop a little bit after they meet each other, yes, but it's superficial. The only "obstacle" appears when the girl is,…
I've seen someone say that this is like "Avengers: Endgame", and I can kind of see it. But not in a way that you would expect, probably.
To be honest, I think I would rather read this as a book, because the story may work better that way. It reminded me of quite a few adaptations of Stephen King's books, which often suffered from the same "issues", that actually made me like his books. Sinners in…
Better thanSecret Level, IMHO. The first 2 were meh, especially the music video for RHCP's "Can't Stop". If this was the original clip for the track back in the day - heck yeah, but now - felt kind of pointless. The others ones were good. 3rd episode was somewhat sad and then suddenly turned into somewhat disturbing. Not sure I like the art style of the 4th one, but story- and action-wise it was…
It's good. It's interesting how a comedy with this type of humor still manages to bring up quite serious topics, too: I even teared up during last episode of the season. Loved it, would be happy if we get more in the future.
Sadly, practically unplayable on my system. Constant freezes (some are healed by alt-tab), crashes... I was able to complete the first 3 chapters somehow (while constantly saving), but the 4th chapter became even worse, once I got to the ground. Compatibility modes and all tweaks/suggestions fromTribes: Revengeancedid not help. Too bad... This is one of the games that I liked back in the day,…
Hm, I thought I watched it and did not like it, but after getting tired of hearing how amazing the show is, I decided to rewatch it (similar to "Gakkou Gurashi!" and Madoka), I think I didnotwatch it. At least even the first episode did not bring up any memories whatsoever. Probably confused it with something else.
Anyway, for now it's ok. Nothing too outstanding, to be honest, but from what I…
It's kind of trash. The fact that the very first sketch the show starts with is full of (literally) shitty jokes does not help. There are quite a few similarly... What's it called?.. "Low-brow" jokes? They are present through-out entire show. There are some that can still cause a giggle, yes, but definitely not for everyone. At the same time there are some stories here, that are... Well, not like…
The first season was not extraordinary, but at least it made me prioritize playingthe game. This one... I am not sure I would want to play the 2nd game after watching this. Critical Drinkersummarizedthis nicely, but it's just not a good or compelling story. It's not believable, in a lot of places, quite stupid in some others and wastes a lot of potential. From what I hear this is pretty close…
They don't make movies like this anymore. Yes, it's completely inaccurate, essentially, ignoring some very important social constructs of the time, but you should not really care. The plot is very simple and predictable, and the characters are probably not the most fleshed-out you can have but... It's still better than a huge percentage of movies and shows they do nowadays.
Even if they would try…
When am I supposed to laugh? I mean, this is supposed to be a comedy? Maybe somewhat satirical, maybe dark, but still a comedy. Or am I missing something? It was not funny for me, was quite boring due to very plain characters, and the concept overall makes little self, since why would someone make a robot with a squishy body, and also invest into making a human-like face when it's supposed to be…
"Devil May Cry" before "Devil May Cry". And I know, that technically DMC came out before (first game came out in 2001, while Defiance came out in 2003), but I never owned a console past SNES, and first DMC game that came to PC was in 2006 (DMC3).
Defiance obviously has a much larger and more interconnected lore. I still have not played any other game in LoK, at least not to completion, but I…
Have not played the game, but if it's like 75% as good as The Quarry, I expect it to be a better experience. Treating this as a movie... It's fine. Kind of like Final Destination, but with different "curse" and more... Supernatural, I guess. An ok one-time watch, nothing more.
If "Saw" was moralistic and lacked gore. If it had some puzzles at least - that could work, theoretically. But it does not. It's a bunch of people stuck in 1 room for an hour, and the way for them to exit is... To talk. And through talking improve themselves by confessing their sins and/or forgiving someone. Does not work, really, since even the dialogues are of quite a poor quality. Can work as a…
This show reminded me of one that I watched when I was a kid. It was Canadian show "Inquiring Minds", educational one, about various stuff. Not really the same concept as this anime, of course, but still. Essentially we have a girl that's trying to have a slightly more realistic but still as obnoxious hair as the blonde fromRock Wa Lady, and is a nerd. The nerd part is important, because she is…
These dango look interesting. I bet they are quite juicy if they are stored in test tubes with some sauces or whatever these are.
Practically unplayable for me. I can get stable framerate (and frametime) only if I set the game to windowed mode at 1080p. Even using 1080p but fullscreen results in max of 30FPS, but even those 30FPS are extremely choppy making everything feel laggy as hell, which gets worse when I move around, because walking speed is also very slow (running is slightly better, but not by much). And windowed…
It's fine. If you liked previous movies, you probably will like this one as well. It tries to expand the concept a little bit, but that's somewhat superficial, to be honest, and results in segments with less "action". "Death vision" is more like paranoia or fear of everything, and not sure it makes much sense or really adds anything to the narrative. Enough for one evening, though.
I am probably not recommending it. And not because it's niche. Perhaps I am comparing it too much toIndika, which I finished before playing this, but it's just not that great.
Firstly, unlike Indika this one is definitely for people from post-soviet lands. A lot of humor and references in general will fly over the head for people not familiar with what it was to live there. Heck, it probably won't…
Definitely better than live-actionSnow White. Still kind of trash, but at least it's not trying to anything, including itself, seriously. That alone makes it... Tolerable. And probably an ok kids' movie, but that's it. While it does try to be like the "Mario" the quality of humor is far too low even compared to that one. I think it's mostly hyped because it's just better than quite a few recent…
6 minutes. That's all I could tolerate. 6 goddamn minutes. And I felt nausea way earlier, specifically when they started singing, because the signing sounded off-key to me. Listen, I do not care for the original movie. I saw it multiple times as a kid, as I did with lots of other Disney classic animations, but I was not "a fan" of it, at least enough to give this new one a try despite what the…
Kind of pointless. Reminded me of that Batou filler in Bleach. Somewhat fits the original series, but the fitting is a bit forced, and it does not move neither the story nor the characters anywhere. Especially, considering the ending of the movie. A cash-grab, but I am not even sure anyone needed this movie. A set of OVAs with fan-service would even make more sense, IMHO.
