Moonfall (2022)
Reminds me of the 'Starwars Holiday Special' !
Managed to view this 'B-' grade film as it was posted on YouTube. Wow! The premises seem like a 5 year old's idea of conspiracy theory from the 80's.
Great comedy though.
Arukimedesu no taisen (2019)
Interresting perspective of this part of history,.
I found this movie to have an interesting mix of historical and fiction in the events portrayed. The CGI used in some sections is fairly good, but could have been better, which I assume is related to the production budget. The acting seems to be somewhat exaggerated in gesture and vocalization. There are some technical faults in the battle scene and in the sinking of the ship, but they do not detract from the imagery - only a 'purist' would point them out. The English dubbing takes some getting used to from the synchronicity of the face and words. Listening in Japanese and having English subtitles is easier to watch.
Flight World War II (2015)
Cliche' of a Time Travel Predicament
Rather reminiscent to 'The Final Countdown', although the CGI effects are not quite as good as the 'old school' methods. The concept for a plot is good, but could have used better 'fleshing out' - many sections don't make practical sense. The production company should have had a few consultants to keep the screen writers from wandering into 'unbelievable' territory. Just keep your eyes half open, the Hour and 25 minutes will fly by slower than the movie!
Nineteen Eighty-Four (1984)
Frightening depiction of a possible future
This is the only version of '1984' to watch, preferably the one that has Eurythmics soundtrack at the start. CAUTION: Do not watch if you are depressed .... by the end, you will be suicidal.
Mayday (2005)
The book was much better
In the book, there were only about 5 survivors, and the rest that remained 'alive' were severely brain damaged due to the period of decompression, after all, the plane was at 62,000 feet. The need to down the plane thus ensued to limit the legal fallout over so many 'walking dead'.
Get the book.
Something Big (1971)
DVD is Available
This is a reasonable movie for the gendre - a 'comedy' western. Just the thing for a casual evening viewing.
