A slice of the past

Good cinematography.
A solid narrative based on real events.

Nothing woke.

If you’re in the mood to learn a bit about the Holocaust through a simple, straightforward approach from a different angle, this is a good movie to watch.

BAD MOVIE

I don’t even know how they manage to make movies this bad.

Terrible cinematography, and a good actor giving a really bad performance in a cliché narrative.

On the woke side ⚠SPOILERS AHEAD ⚠ there’s the completely unrealistic idea that the protagonist willingly gives up any chance of walking again to “save the planet,” even though he could’ve been cured earlier. For some stupid reason, he chooses not to, like some kind of protest against technological progress… which gave me twisted body-positivity vibes, while at the same time using a cybernetic exoskeleton that lets him fight in the final act. Total nonsense. Way too hippie for my taste.

That’s pretty much it.

I wouldn’t recommend it.

P.S. Felton is one of the producers.

Vile, vain and avoidable

Disgustingly vile is how the series begins, with the main character being shown graphically defecating diarrhea within the first few minutes. Not only do we get to hear it, we are shown it jetting across the screen, like thick oil spurting from a blown gasket. I have never seen anything so awful despite surfing the Web for years, as one is rarely surprised with such content and can avoid it. Not here, as the viewer is ambushed with nothing to telegraph the depravity one is about to witness. Shock tactics from toddler temperaments.

Then, like a gullible fool, I disbelieved my own eyes and decided to give the crew a second chance by watching the next episode. I should be more judgmental it seems, as again, I was appalled to be subjected to a grizzled old man's full frontal nudity as he relieves himself by spraying towards the viewer. I turned away but was too slow; you see it all and if ever there was a need for brain-bleach then these were it. Even irl, normal men have the grace to conceal this act from others so putting it front and centre is a deliberate act to degrade the viewer. The writers must hate their audience.

What kind of loathsome people (Ira Parker & Aziza Barnes) needed to make millions of people see this? It must be something twisted in their early lives... Indeed, one has already committed suicide at age 32 and we might wonder how long before others follow because these scenes were the product of sick minds. Fair warning: mental illness is contagious. You might recover from food poisoning or an infection but repeat exposure will permanently damage your body. So too the mind can shrivel and die from slow poisoning.

Notice, I have not yet covered anything on the unrealistic racial and gender agenda, which denigrates men and deludes women. White men are shown as obnoxious fools, women as suffering or sex workers, and the love interest is now an ugly, female PoC (I think that's an acceptable term?) because of unrealistic wish-fulfillment fantasies. There are countless incidents scattered through-out the episodes and the political push ruins the immersion. It was dastardly disappointing because I really wanted to enjoy this series as the original tale is wholesome but this portrayal is a betrayal of all that made the tale good.

It is not for me to tell others how to live their lives but, as a mental health worker, I have often been called upon to help the vulnerable and sick minds in society. Prevention is far better than attempting a cure, both for chainsaw accidents and mental illness. Thus I would recommend that decent people Do Not Watch this series. Boycott it and everything these perverts produce as they seek to defile and drag you down to their level by desensitising you to unhealthy and unhygienic behaviours, which ultimately lead to sick, shortened lives and dysfunctional relationships.

Low budget cosplayers do a better job.

This movie actually made me think Predator: Wastelands was a good film.

And that’s saying a lot.

Good action film

On its own, without comparing it to any other movie, it’s solid. It’s based on real events, but the real events are definitely not exactly how they’re portrayed on screen → that’s 100% guaranteed.

So it fits into the category of good-quality popcorn movies that focus on telling a story.

As for the woke content, I’ll be completely fair: if this were a low-budget indie film, I’d probably let it slide. But this is heavyweight Hollywood, so there was no escaping the influence. The point I’m making is about the woman in the house who talks to them like some kind of wise oracle there to educate everyone. After that, it’s very enjoyable.

Kudos to Damon and Affleck, they work better together than they do individually.

Enjoy it!

Who is this even for?

I only watched one episode, but the first episode is supposed to capture the core of the whole story and hook the audience you want to keep watching. That hook just isn’t there. It left a bad taste, I kept waiting for at least something to laugh at, and it never came.

I doubt I’ll even get to a second episode. It’s 25 minutes long, and by minute ten I was already wishing it would wrap up.

Why is this movie relevant again?

Because some corrupt threw money around to get it nominated, even though it’s a Z-list movie that only deserves to sweep the Razzie Awards 2026. It has:

• Bad cinematography
• Terrible acting → especially Michael B. Jordan’s performance, which is downright awful
• A really weak narrative that doesn’t even feel authentic

I won’t drag this out.
The movie is awful and doesn’t deserve a single nomination it’s getting, least of all an Oscar nod.

That said, there is one upside: the noise around it is so loud that you can clearly see the strings being pulled (and you’ve been able to for a while now), and that’s actually a good thing. Very good, in fact.

Why do I keep watching these movies. This yet another Kate Beckinsale streaming dung pile. She's back with her raspy deep smokers voice again and still don't know how that happened. The acting and action scenes are terrible. Claiming it's based on a true story is so far removed from the truth it might as well be a lie. She has her daughter kidnapped and becomes a depressed protester for the next 5 years from what I could tell. Then randomly joins 2 men that do child recovery in exchange for them finding her daughter. Why would they need the help of an 90lb white trash soccer mom? We don't know. Who are these 2 guys that are doing this? We don't know. They seem pretty inept at their jobs and stand out as suspicious everywhere they go. They also seem to just travel around the world grabbing kids in foreign countries in public during the day while randomly pulling guns on and assaulting local civilians. The writing makes no sense and is laughable. Her daughter is kidnapped in the middle of the day in a busy large store and nobody sees anything and there are no cameras anywhere. As for woke the main characters husband is Syrian so we have the usual mixed race box checked. Though it actually serves a purpose in the story this time. The DEI token black character. I only made it to the 40 minute mark but I wouldn't be surprised if by the end the tiny woman is kicking large male ass.

A very good studio Ghibli film from 2010. I would say this one is family friendly and safe for kids. The usual great animation and voice acting. I watched the English dub for this one. The story is pretty good and there is nothing woke here. While the main story focuses on an independent female character she's not super powered and flawless. All the characters are well rounded both female and male. I would recommended this one is for adults as well if you like animated films.

Strange movie from 1992 out of Japan and studio Ghibli. Great animation as you would expect and the English dub that I watched was
ok. However at times it's very silly and childish and others there is some odd sexual innuendo and an entire storyline about the main character who appears to be in his 30's going after a 17 year old girl. There is also a lot of sexualization of this same 17 year old character. I found the entire movie a bit creepy to honest. It's even odder given all the girl power stuff alongside it. The story really isn't even that great in my opinion. I would say this definitely has woke feminism in it. The 17 year old female is constantly claiming she's discriminated against because she's a woman and she is said to be a better smarter worker than her brothers. The entire family that shows up to basically rebuild and engineer his airplane is all the women from the family. Even if you like studio Ghibli movies I would say this is one to skip.

So much for a 'conservative' show.

So I seen several things saying this show is conservative and anti-woke.

It doesn't have the 'modern audience' bs like trannies or gay shit so far.. but it very much has the other thing that has ruined shows and movies for years that seems to be so common now people seem to ignore it, but it's under wokeness (feminism).

Alot of simpery and a couple of cuntish, bitchy women.. of course the main character seems to be falling in love with the bitch with a bad attitude who is disrespectful.

I watched the first episode and won't be going back to it. It could have been good, but those elements give me no desire to keep watching.

If this is a preview of new 'conservative filmmaking' as another site said, they will have to do better than this nonsense.

Another movie based on a book I haven't read so don't know if it's an accurate adaptation. Basically a drama following the tragic life of a man and his ability to adapt to changes set mostly in the early 1900's until the 1960's. It's a beautifully shot film with excellent scenery and the acting is great as well. There's not really a lot of story in the traditional sense other than just following this man's life experiences. There are a couple of minor issues. For some reason it follows the current trend of having
the characters speak in low tones and whispers and in some cases barely audible 'mush mouth' making it really hard to hear what they are saying without turning your volume up. I don't know why this a thing now, it's terrible. They also decided to shoot in a 3:2 aspect ration instead of usual widescreen. While it does give the film a more older look to it with most of it taking place in open outdoors and forests it feels like you are really missing out on a lot of beautiful cinematography. What should feel like a wide open spaces now feels like closed in and more claustrophobic. Once you get used to it it's not a big dead but I feel like this was not a great decision. Is it woke? I guess a little though the time periods make this a little harder to judge. It takes place during the railroad and
logging boom and deals a little with Chinese immigrants that were here for work. There is a disparaging comment about Chinese illegals being
mass deported and a scene with a group of white men attacking and throwing an immigrant off a bridge. He is then traumatized and sees the
immigrant in his dreams. There is also a weird scene where a black character randomly kills a religious white character in revenge for killing
his brother over race. This type of stuff may of happened around then but it feels a little forced in though the story is about tragedy following this character wherever he goes so I'm not really sure. These are minor issues and not the focus of the movie and still worth watching. Be warned this is not a feel good happy movie, it is a sad depressing one, but very well made and acted.
