[NETFLIX] ALICE IN BORDERLAND - Review

Image
  Casts of Alice in Borderland I basically have zero ideas on what is Alice in Borderland , that is because I haven't been bothered to actually watch any trailers or find out more about it. My subscription on Netflix during these covid times has proven fruitful to those who actually are using my account for free, that being said, I was dead bored during the weekend and proceed to watch Alice in Borderland , and finish the series in 2 days. (8 episodes only, phew).  THE GOOD While I am going to review them only as a semries as I do not read the manga, I would say that the series is intriguing enough to ensure that you will keep clicking next as the episodes unfold. Makes you think while this is something like a double-edged sword, sometimes I hate to be thinking when I watch a series but (trying to be spoiler-free here) this whole series is about games of different cards which represents a different form of challenge (think SAW). The cast  delivers a much convincing performance as

MOVIE REVIEW: PACIFIC RIM - UPRISING

Image
The initial first Pacific Rim was a masterpiece directed by Guillermo del Toro and also the main soundtrack by Ramin Djawadi was also crazy addictive and suited the whole Robot vs Monsters (Kaiju) vibe. Fast forward 5 years later, Pacific Rim Uprising is supposed to take on the epic-ness of the first Pacific Rim and continue what del Toro did with initial Pacific Rim. THE GOOD More Jaegers. This time we are looking at 3 different kinds of jaegers which Gipsy Avenger being the highlight in the movie. So your eyes are entertained if you are going in for more Jaegers. More action. This movie brings lots of action from the start right to the end, this time you get Jaeger on Jaeger action and also Jaeger on Kaiju action, the fighting sequences are more fluid from the first and it seems like, after 10 years, they now know how to make Jaeger more fluid and fighting this time looks more like ninja jumping around instead of big machine whacking on each other. Terrific CGI. The team a

MOVIE REVIEW: BLACK PANTHER

Image
Did not want to write this review so soon as I afraid it will contain spoilers, but Wakanda Forever after watching Black Panther. If you know me personally, I would say that I am a fan of technology, and when Iron-Man first came out, I admitted I had to change my pants a few times when he suits up,  or when he is falling out of a building, and gotten his suit flies to him, totally epic. With Black Panther, Marvel just decided to make me change my pants twice, easily a strong 4 out of 5 stars for this movie THE GOOD Technology. Everything about the new technology of the elusive place of Wakanda will put the whole Iron-Man timeline to shame, the new technology, the Vibranium usage, and also the overall portray of the city has been one of the best Marvel has ever done. They clearly went all out to bring the feeling of technology advancement to life. Characters. The casting was on-point, all the characters from the main character right up to the way they speak and the roles they

[NETFLIX] ALTERED CARBON - REVIEW

Image
If you subscribe to Netflix, you will realize Altered Carbon is stated as a new release and also in the trending category. DO NOT SKIP THIS SERIES , I repeat do not skip this series! This is a sci-fi series that talks about the future where the body you have is called a sleeve and you can transfer your conscious around, and if you are rich, you never have to die, you can replicate your sleeves for centuries. THE GOOD The production value in this series is absolutely crazy, you can see the production sets and also the attires that the characters use in the movie. Aside from that, the weapons are futuristic as hell and also the houses of the absolutely rich are clearly something that most of the money for production went to. The story was pretty elaborate, it is straightforward, full of action-packed sequence and the fighting sequence is well choreographed. The series takes it times to ensure that most of the important thing is expanded in the movie thus viewers will not feel

MOVIE REVIEW: WONDER WOMAN

Image
Wonder Woman was my most anticipated movie from DC, used to be Batman vs Superman but that was so bad I am trying not to remember. This is because Wonder Woman is portrayed by Gal Gadot, while she lacks the physique of the usual comic Wonder Woman, she is so fitting for the role in terms of how comfortable she playing the character, you can see it with her actions and the way she moves fluidly and also the way she speaks.  THE GOOD Gal Gadot is such a good actress and couple with Chris Pine they both make the perfect on-screen couple. The chemistry between them both is off the charts and we can see it trickle through the big screen and also into their tour for Wonder Woman. Aside from there, the storyline has a good pacing and the action takes a better half of the movie. The fighting scene is convincing and it ensures that you will be glued to your seats and will be constantly engaged in the scene as we can feel the strength and power she carries.  THE BAD Some of the pa

MOVIE REVIEW: PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN - DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES

Image
This is the problem of having a franchise running way too long is that you see it peaks and then flat fall directly into nothing. The sad thing is they must have paid lots of money to Johnny Deep to reprise his role as Captain Jack Sparrow and try to revive the franchise. I will give this movie 2 out of 5 stars simply because of Johnny Depp and the cast of the Pirates are pretty good, good enough to keep me entertained for a while THE GOOD Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow is the only thing that is good in this movie. While most of the scenes are pretty moderate, Johnny Depp made sure that it is funny and relevant enough to still be a good scene. Other than that, the new casts of who plays Henry Turner and Carina Smyth are pretty good and the chemistry between the two characters are pretty good. The storyline is typical Pirates and it has a little mystery factor on why the dead are running around chasing Jack Sparrow but all in all, it is nothing that you don't know.

MOVIE REVIEW: GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY VOL 2

Image
The first Guardians of the Galaxy (GoTG) was good and it was really fun. I never did follow GoTG mainly on comics or read about it, so heading into cinema and watching it was a pretty fun Marvel movie. Upon reading a little more, I realise that they are tied into the fight with Thanos since Gamora and Nebula are the daughters of Thanos. Fast forward, we are now in Vol 2 of GoTG!  The shows go on and it gets even better, probably better than the first movie and I will personally rate this movie a solid 4 out of 5. Below I will mention my own personal reasoning for it: THE GOOD Not many movies live up to their hype but GoTG certainly isn't afraid to prove you wrong. The starting of the movie straight propel you to the ever loving squad doing their daily bounty job and it was fun as f. This couple with the dancing of Groot and also the funny lines from characters certainly puts you back to the ever-comforting feeling of watching GoTG. The cast this time works well togeth
