The trailers looked so bad to me, but then I watched some reviews and got interested seeing this. And it was really enjoyable action adventure with good performances. The film's run time is long but didn't really feel that. I liked the range of the easter eggs/character cameos in it, and there's new ones to spot for multiple viewings. Didn't except things from Boorman's Excalibur or The Shining( which was really nicely done scene) I was excepting most of them to be aimed towards younger audience members. The CGI was really good too and so was the sound design/mixing(especially in the race scene you can hear the different engines and crashes/explosions). Also there's nice sets that they filmed the real world parts. Even the humor worked mostly for me. The story and characters(outside the OASIS) aren't anything new or original but the execution/performances are done well and the film was just fun to watch that you can forgive those minor problems.

Nice slow burn horror/thriller with really nice score. The acting was good as was the mood of the film. Oz Perkins directed this and I really didn't like his Netflix film I Am the Pretty Thing That Lives in the House that was released before this even thought this is his first film. That film was almost torturously boring watching experience. This wasn't that scary but the unsettling mood was great with the score adding to it nicely.

Rewatch. Raised the raiting half a star. This is just fun action film with good leads.

"Let's film this movie 2,5 times and then release it before finishing the effects so the WB execs can get their bonuses faster". This movie has gotten worse every time I've seen it and especially after hearing what the film was going to be. I liked the acting and characters (Ezra Miller is hit and miss though). Danny Elfman's score was good.

I laughed once while watching this. But this wasn't one of those painfully awful comedy movie watching experiences it just wasn't funny to me.

All episodes binge-watched in 2,5 days. I got a bit scared that the last episode was ending in a cliffhanger but fortunately it did wrap up quite nicely but rapidly. Overall the show was acted, written and directed well. Gillian Anderson and Jamie Dornan were really good in the lead roles. I had only seen Dornan in The Siege of Jadotville, where he was also great so I wasn't that surprised and Gillian Anderson was great in Hannibal and X-Files of course. Also the supporting cast did great work too. The show is dark but it also felt very realistic. The serial killer isn't over the top character like in American shows and until the truths start to reveal he feels like normal family man and that is really scary idea. The slow revealing of his psyche and condition was so interesting to watch in the series. And Dornan was so good portraing this.

There wasn't that much material that I hadn't seen before but overall this was well done documentary and McGregor is entertaining to watch in the octagon and outside of it he is really funny person too.

Rewatch on bluray, I didn't change the rating: I had the same problems still but overall this is really fun and entertaining film.

Well, this story took some turns. First episode was pretty interesting but I got hooked in the second episode when the peace loving community starts carrying Uzis around and threatening other people and doing some bioterrorism. One of those stories that you wouldn't believe true if it was drama series with actors.
