Earthrise (2014) poster

People abandon Earth to flee to Mars, and a ship of three are sent with supplies to aid in recolonization.

I couldn’t get 20 minutes in because of the acting.

  • Oh the teeth on that woman (Dawn).
  • “Lab apple” wouldn’t be much of a concept for people born 330 years after Mars colonization.
  • How come Dawn and dude could be arguing and other woman wouldn’t come in then, but came in when she hallucinated.
  • The acting seems sub-par to me.
  • Oh gods the flashback type stuff annoys me.
  • With three people, this is pretty bland.
  • Hmm, waiting until 30, that sounds a lot like other population or resource-constraint movies that send people away.
  • Just how big is the ship? For three people, she sure has a lot of space.
  • Why would a few days be fucking people over like that? I bet it’s because they’re 30.

Okay, I’m going to stop now.. the acting is just too bad.

The Last Witch Hunter (2015) 1

The dying breath of the queen of witches curses a man with immortality, who becomes a witch hunter but only one who incarcerates witches, which turns out to be a bad idea because they didn’t see Demolition Man – (1993 movie).

An adequate movie, but doesn’t bring anything interesting. The world, the plot and the characters are all boring. Perfectly fine for people who like bubblegum action fantasy.

Iron Man is a prick, dooming the world unless The Avengers can save it.

Another comic book movie. Meh. I’m sure it made money, but it makes no contributions to anything whatsoever. Recommended for pop comic book movie fans.

  • Properly titled Avengers: Age of Ultron

I didn’t get very far in before I threw my hands up in disgust.

This immediately comes off as a Christian propaganda film. Girl has doubts in JEEEESUSSSSS, is uncomfortable with her friends being called bad, learns they are bad, they do bad things.. then JEEEESUSSSSS and she was totally wrong and the true way was always god and stuff and praise the lord and by the way did I say praise the lord because totes praise him.

I didn’t stick around to get into that last bit. Maybe it’s a dark crime comedy and stuff, but fucked if I’m going to continue watching.

  • The “just like a video game” thing should be fucking illegal to put into a movie.

Facing hard times, The Ghostbusters are called back into action when the city’s mood dips deep into anger.

Definitely not as good as Ghostbusters – (1984 movie), but an adequate film nonetheless.

  • Properly titled Ghostbusters II.

An explorer ship bumps into aliens.

AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Do not watch this, especially if you are a fan of the alien movie franchise.

The survivors of an alien attack struggle to stay alive aboard their research vessel, and learn its true purpose.

Perhaps because Alien 3 – (1992 movie) wasn’t as amazing as the first two, Alien: Resurrection wasn’t that impactful. I think it was a cop-out of an odd reboot.

TODO – Crime and stuff.

After seeing Black Mass – (2015 movie) I’m reminded to put this into the growing catalogue. I’ll have to come back and re-watch it to add any real notes. Though I’ve seen this, it isn’t in my collection and I don’t expect to see it again any time soon.

Being ancient and good, this movie has become the standard for a “certain type” of movie. It got there first, so it set the bar. One which arguably hasn’t been reached by other movies.
