I was babysitting my sisters kids and 1/3 of them stayed relatively calm while watching this. So, I got to see this. The film itself was really generic and formulaic kids film.
I also got to watch this again the next day. And some parts
even multiple times.

I had high hopes for this (thanks to Nightcrawler) and it didn't quite match them. But this was still interestingly bizarre horror comedy. The horror aspect didn't work as well as it could've but the film is funny. And the actors did all very good job in the film.

I saw the twist coming early on and the mystery aspect of the film didn't work because of that. The Victorian era visuals and look of the film worked well and the acting was good.

One of those movies where they got Bruce Willis for 2 days and he wanted to film the first day in one room. He had a body double for sitting down in a restaurant scene at the end so I assume they couldn't get him back for reshoots or out of his trailer. But luckily they had Christopher Meloni as the lead here, without him I would have given this 1 star rating. The plot is cliche action film stuff and the action parts aren't done that well either.

Watched the first season with my brother. The period setting and the take on zombies felt quite fresh. I liked that the zombies weren't computer generated and that they did nice stuntwork (some of those falls looked painful) and the fight choreography was good too. Biggest minus is that the season ends in a cliffhanger and that they haven't yet made the second season. I got hooked on the show.

Played through the game in one night. This is probably my new favorite Quantic Dream game. The action set pieces were really good and entertaining to watch and hit the QTEs every now and then. I also really liked how polished this game felt, I didn't have any technical issues during my playthrough. There were only few moments were the character models, especially their arms, would move weirdly.
The story was entertaining even if it really wasn't anything new or different. Especially the cop stuff has been done so many times already. As is the guerrilla resistance thing too. At times the story also was very hokey and David Cage-ish (freedom march-scene). The (voice)acting was pretty good and the character models were nice looking and the game overall was quite beautiful to look at. I chose the non-violent option and even thought there were less action it was fun way to play the game and towards the end it got pretty intense.
The choices actually changed things and thus mattered. And the choice tree was really extensive and impressive.
Some minuses:
There were weird moments were the clock started running and music got intense and you were supposed to hurry up but your character just couldn't be bothered to move faster.The dialogue options were also bothersome at times and you really can't tell what some of the options are before pressing them. I reloaded some scenes because the option would lead to something that I didn't mean to happen. Some punctuation marks or Bioware style icons would have been helpful.
