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.

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.

Yes, it is woke. It was made with the “help” of Irish, British, and Spanish taxpayer money.

As if poor little HBO at Warner Discovery needed public funding to afford a series. Good joke! tell me another one.

But is it good quality? Not really. Since it’s woke as hell, the “good” men are stereotyped as dumb, weak, and easily manipulated, while the smart or powerful men are portrayed as the bad ones.

On top of that, and this was mentioned in the other comment, which ties in perfectly, forced diversity is obvious. That alone wouldn’t be the main issue, but they also gave characters different accents, making them hard to understand, supposedly for “period authenticity,” while at the same time pushing forced diversity, which completely breaks that excuse.

Outstanding Holocaust remembrance series

Given how delicate and controversial this subject is, both in the film industry and in life itself, this series handles it with absolute respect.

It’s a great adaptation of Heather Morris’s work.

It’s harsh and emotionally heavy, but the quality is exceptional.

No woke stuff here.

Paramount strikes again

Straight to the point → Can kids watch it? Yes.

Does it have woke elements? Yes. → Barb never existed in the original stories; and that character is there to fill thA quota

As a SpongeBob fan who’s seen absolutely everything in that universe since the very first episode (including material made after the creator passed away), I can confidently say this movie is a total disrespect to its creator. Paramount didn’t even bother to include a simple “thank you” to Stephen Hillenburg in the credits.

Is it SpongeBob? It’s basically a rehash of the first movie and a very calculated breakdown of all the elements that make SpongeBob SpongeBob but without the interesting spark of Hillenburg’s original vision. Back then, SpongeBob was for the whole family, Squidward included. Here, Squidward is pushed to the background→ third place, maybe even fourth.

In the end, kids can watch it, but it really doesn’t do justice to what Stephen Hillenburg created.

Not for everyone

This is a strange sci-fi movie with a very strong central theme, built around a mystery that’s present right from the start. I liked it, it’s not a bad movie, but only about 80%.

To explain where I’m coming from, I’ll leave a link to a video by experts who’ve seen it, and one of them pretty much agrees with me.

⚠Fair warning ⚠ it has light spoilers.
They don’t say exactly what happens, but they do talk about the ending without revealing it:

Woke before it even premieres

It’s not even out yet and it’s already woke as f!!!

You don’t even need to watch the trailer → just look at the casting choices and who’s playing who.

The lead actor is openly focused on LGBT community activism, hahaha. And that’s not even the point! An actor being whatever they are shouldn’t define a movie, but come on! The movie synopsis doesn’t even suggest they’re going to treat the source material with any respect.

Hasbro lost that a long time ago with the version they did on Netflix!!!

I mean → Kristen Wiig is RobotO!!!
And Idris Elba → a well-known activist who loves talking about regulations on knives → plays Duncan / Man-At-Arms.

Hahahahaha, this is gonna be a total shitshow all over the place.

What a joke!
