Valerian: A City Of A Thousand Planets.

 
   Valerian a city of a thousand planets is another evidence of critics bias and hate towards pretty much everything that isn't Disney related. You might disagree or argue all you want but it is the truth. It has 49% on rotten tomatoes which is considered the number one critic site right now. If you didn't like this movie's storyline you have to at least give it a 55% for it's extremely gorgeous visuals because this film has amazing and breath taking scenes,they're great and incredible to watch.

     It stars Dane Deehan as Valerian and Cara Delevigne as his partner/love interest Laureline. They're basically futuristic space cops with the weirdest and interesting technological gear you've ever seen and they work for like this really big space station with generals and stuff like that. To summarize the film's plot,I'd say it's a sci fi space adventure about two partners uncovering the shady mistake of their government...well technically one of their high ranking government officials.
   
       Immediately the film started I was mesmerised. It introduced an alien race and made me actually care for them. That's a really big deal considering they're longer movies where we don't give a damn about the characters and this movie made me care about tall ass looking aliens loosing their home world. I read a lot of reviews saying Dane and Cara didn't have any chemistry in this movie and I don't agree with them but what do I know? I mean am not the Type of guy to critique everything in other movies and give Disney owned/distributed films a pass so the internet won't care about what I think.

     The world is beautiful,the side characters are great and the story is compelling and even though it wasn't executed properly in my opinion, it wasn't bad also. If there's one thing I'm not sure off,it's Rihana. Now listen,I am a big fan of Rihana and she's pretty as hell and makes cool music so I don't know if I enjoyed her role as bubble the shape shifting alien because I'm already a big fan of hers or because she was actually good. I guess we'll never know,I think you guys should find out by yourself because I'm not entirely sure about that part.

    Now to mention what I didn't like in the movie. Here it is,the makers of this film didn't consider the fact that not everyone knows about Valerian and Laureline so there was a lot of weird and confusing scenes that I think referenced old stuff that probably happened in the comics were mentioned and pre-existing knowledge of the lore was needed to understand them . I personally watched a show about the two on teletoon called Time Jam: Valerian and Laureline and I didn't know it was based off that till like an hour and a half into the movie so imagine if you know nothing about them and you see them referencing things you don't know about. That was my major issue with the film's entirety and aside from that,it's an enjoyable film with great CGI and an actual message unlike other sci fi movies.

    In unrelated news,I'll try and crank up my posts per day to 3-5 hopefully if only you guys help me by sharing and subscribing. Thanks guys! ✌

Euphoria: Back With A Bang!

Written By
  After taking the world by storm in 2019, critically acclaimed HBO phenomenon Euphoria returns with its second season and from the looks of the premiere episode, it’s going to make its debut season look like child’s play.  Please note, there might be mild spoilers ahead The first episode of Euphoria’s sophomore season starts off like previous episodes, with an opening containing background info on a specific character and this time around, it’s none other than super chill fan favorite Fez. We get to find out about how his childhood was, how his surrogate little brother Ashtray came about and why he does what he does. As someone who already loved Fez before this, I have to say having more insight on his background really adds more depth to his character.  After our flashback opening the story moves to the new year which is after the Rue euphoria special which took place in Christmas where she went to a diner with Ali to talk about her life and issues with substance abuse....

Samurai Jack's Finale Review!

Written By
If you grew up watching jack try to defeat aku and you got sad cause you never got a conclusion well the new season given to you by adult swim got you covered...it has 10 episodes and most weren't the best but they all had top notch voice acting and animation. The finale episode picks up were episode 9 left off with Aku capturing our awesome samurai and Ashi still in control of Aku.It's not Aku unless he gloats so in typical fashion Aku streamed a live video of samurai Jack chained and about to be killed...it was funny because he used the montage of the original show, which was a nice nod.All those who jack has helped since season 1 watched as he was tortured and they all joined together to attack Aku's headquarters... They all fired at Aku but with him being all powerful he wasn't affected....While all this was happening my guy Jack was trying to bring his babe back to the light side so he can slide into her DM😂😂😂...am just kidding he just wanted her to su...

Sound of Metal movie review

Written By
It is not every time that we get to see the world through the ears of the deaf members of our society. Sound of metal follows the story of Ruben Stone (Riz Ahmed) and his girlfriend Louise (Olivia Cooke) coming to terms with Ruben’s deafness. They’re are both members of a heavy metal band, Ruben plays the drums while Louise sings. They were touring the USA when hell breaks loose, Ruben begins to lose his hearing. The movie started out as a pity ride for me (like we humans always do when we don’t understand much about medical conditions), it later panned out to be a wholesome journey I was glad I heard and felt it through Ahmed Riz’s performance, all of his hopelessness, frustration, anger was well channeled and felt. The insight offered into the deaf world from this movie makes sure to make the statement that deafness wasn’t a disability, I’m beginning to see it as a whole new world that needs to be included with other members of the society. It is not every time I get lost...
