Seal Team VI - (2008 movie) poster

Entertainment > Movies >

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1281966/

A stitched-together movie of faux-epic military drama, stock footage, and B-roll.

This must have taken a hell of a lot of effort to put together, but my god it’s so badly written.

  • Trailer
  • If this is hard to find, then it’s because it’s that bad. I watched it at solarmovies.video/watch-seal-team-vi-2008-online-tt1281966 but they died and I don’t know where else you can find it; comments welcome.

The found footage of the travel to, and exploration of, one of the moons of Jupiter in the search for extraterrestrial life.

It’s slow and focused, with a consistent and weighty tone. If you like it within the first fifteen minutes, you’ll like the rest of it.

An everyday man’s is kidnapped to make amends for past wrongs he couldn’t guess at.

I can see it was trying, but boy is it inconsistent action without real underlying substance.

Alien refugees come to Earth, only to become squatters and criminals while the world looks on. After 20 years, the local government tries to relocate them to better facilities only to discover alien technologies they had been salvaging and repairing.

A unique setting and good story. It’s not a super-fantastic movie, but it’s definitely highly recommended. It has a high “ick” factor.

A superpower is granted to three boys, but their significant differences impact its development in them. Or something.

I find it tense and riveting. It also sends a philosopher! (sort of)

A simple woman is tricked into smuggling for a one-week boyfriend, and does drugs to save herself.

I happen to like it a lot.

Harry Potter works to chip away at Voldermort’s base of power, while Voldermort’s army holds a tight grip on the whole of the wizarding world.

Worthy of a three-part episode in a TV series. Bad writing.

Harry and friends are on the run and looking for clues to help them destroy Voledmort.

Terrible writing and it’s just another episode.

The magical world cowers in fear as it’s recruited or picked off by Voldemort’s forces.

This rides on the successes of its predecessors while technically going nowhere itself. The writing is far better, but it’s an episode. You can really feel how much this movie is milking the franchise.

Harry Potter gathers his own strength in response to Voldemort.

A little more adult than its predecessors, but still badly written; bubblegum.
