Peacemaker (2022)
What a waste of the character
Peacemaker was such an enjoyable over the top lunatic in the movie of course they had to change him into a pathetic, self-doubting loser. The characters in his "team" are infantile, preachy, obnoxious people. I despise every minute with them. The only good scenes are those with Peacemaker, his eagle, his wannabe-BFF, Harcourt and no one else. At least the action scenes are mostly ok.
I expected a light-hearted action-filled and, most importantly, good experience but they successfully subverted my expectations and made a disgrace of a show. Save your time and watch The Boys (2019) instead.
2036 Origin Unknown (2018)
Underrated movie with a great actress
The story focusses on Mackenzie 'Mack' Wilson and her AI co-partner ARTI who work in a mission control room for a Mars mission. As events unfold she slowly discovers something bigger.
I really enjoyed this movie! No idea why it is has such a low rating. The lead actress is a good actor and shows a nice range of acting. The setting, while being very limited, naturally progresses the story forward. This positively reminded me of The Man from Earth (2007). The technology shown is believable for the near-future setting - the only anachronism being Mack's smartphone (though that could be seen as in-character). I really like ARTI's look. It is alien yet familiar at the same time. Completely CGI'd scenes are used very sparingly and work ok.
For the soundtrack: I LOVE the main score for the movie. It is majestic, eerie and curiosity-inspiring at the same time.
For the negative: There are some scenes in the beginning that feel a bit disconnected and the ending will work for some but not for others. Considering this movie was shot in nine days on a low budget this is a very, very good result and a recommendation for every sci-fi fan.
You're Not a Monster (2019)
The worst comedy can be - not funny
This feels like baby's first comedy. The timings are off, the jokes are predictable and about as "good" as the ones in American Pie. Animations are subpar. The only things solid is the audio work.
