Do not watch this! Instead watch the fan edit Star Wars Episode I.II – The Phantom Edit – (2000 movie). Even at its much lower quality it’s head and shoulders above this movie.

It should be summarized as: A noble kingdom is taken by force, forcing a prince to flee and live a life that turns to adventure, to later return to contest for the throne.

However. However it’s all over the place. It doesn’t properly delve into any aspect, and doesn’t properly string things together. It has all the elements of a good, or at least fair, movie, but it wasn’t written well.

A science guy has a thing for eyes.

Has one long mellow semi-suspenseful tone, but doesn’t take full advantage of its opportunities. It grows weaker and weaker as it drones on, and barely pretends to have a reasonable resolution.

A tower defense game, but with tanks and more upgrading.

I tried the demo and didn’t give it much of a chance. For example, I didn’t customize units. I prefer the more sandbox-style of Gratuitous Space Battles.

  • From the makers of Gratuitous Space Battles.
  • The scroll wheel to zoom in/out is backwards.

Something about a crime and lawyers and a court and stuff, but with racism.

Not my thing.

Beautiful Prison - (2016 movie) image

This is the sort of movie that I can’t explain without spoiling it.

It ought to be started at 17:10 with zero introduction.

The fact that I can write that with confidence should speak loudly as to its quality. It doesn’t have enough “content”, and so it feels drawn out. If you are passionate about reality-questioning movies, then for sure see this. Otherwise, pass.

Crumb - (1994 movie) image

A documentary about Robert Crumb.

A lineage of broken genetics is passed on to children, one of whom drew odd things oddly and got famous because normies couldn’t or wouldn’t do it. He got and stayed famous because he got there first. Everyone fawns over him to be cool.

There’s a lot of anti-consumerism, anti-industry and general cultural critique. Unfortunately, the whole thing gets interesting only in the latter third, and the good cultural critique is scattered throughout that.

All things considered, this isn’t a great movie, an interesting person or an interesting topic. For people unaware of the reality, this shows the broken side of certain kinds of artist.

Not recommended.

Something something narration and murder-mystery.

Great acting, but not a very good story or presentation.. I just didn’t like it. I only saw this for Michelle Monaghan, and it was worth it.
