While doing everyday things in space, debris tears through everything leaving survivors on a desperate yet somehow extremely slow-paced race to survive.

Not memorable in any way. Do not watch.

All the Earth is in peril, but everyday people have been given super powers.. except half of them become villains, for some reason.

The interface and controls weren’t pleasant for me. Probably the biggest nuisance was not having set a colour scheme on my chest because I made myself bare-chested.

This is yet another unfinished piece. I’ve been thinking of some of these ideas on and off for some years, and some of it may make it into the fiction I’m writing.

A woman, dying in a macabre soap opera, is filmed by a man with cybernetic eyes.

Great movie, but the main actor’s performance is absolutely horrible.

  • Based on The Unsleeping Eye – (1973 book), by David G. Compton

Yet another MMO, but this one is set in the Star Wars universe. Because light sabres, yo.

Conclusion: Amateur night.

This would have been great in the late nineties. Right now, the voiceovers are fantastic but the quest interactive cutscenes are ugly. The choices are sometimes vague and unforgiving. There is spectacular effort with all the rendered videos, but that just took away from resources for the game itself.

to be re-watched

Meh, not bad but not great.

Medeocre “plot”. It’s more of a generic dystopian movie and only good for the atmosphere.
