Review: "Almost Human season 1 TV review"

The previews of it look promising; high budget production, packed with action, Sci-Fi story and J.J Abrams' lens flare. Come to the actual series, it is not bad but it deserves to be better with all the things involved.

EP 1: It starts off with a big bang featuring a high octane action scene. The rest of the runtime is briskly paced. It doesn't bother to introduce all of the characters in details. It just zooms straight to the action. As usual, the first episode is packed with enough action and thrill.

EP 2-13: After a thrilling 1 episode, unfortunately the rest of the episodes turn familiar and not so fresh. Every episode has a story that has been seen before. The story is just backed by high production, interesting visuals and the likeable chemistry between the two main characters. I was disappointed that the season 1 didn't touch on the Insyndicate, the group mentioned in episode 1. I was eager to find out more about the group and what was their motive. But no, nothing much is mentioned throughout the whole season. At the end of the season, there are questions left hanging. Nothing much is resolved. With the series being cancelled, there is not much hope left.

Overall: The season does not reach up to the standard of the first episode. But it is the likeable chemistry between the main characters that you won't mind watching the other episodes. Fans of Sci-Fi and action should be entertained by this.

Rating: 3.4/5 Review: "The Spirit of Ramayana" (103 minutes) "A passable Thai horror movie with an interesting concept but weak execution." As a low-budget horror movie, it has enough entertainment values. In the recent years, there are a few strong Thai horror movies with decent production values and there are many mediocre low-budget horror movies. The Spirit of Ramayana is somewhat in the middle. It may not look that polished but its themes and concept are intriguing enough. The story: The narrative is straight forward however its editing made the movie look messy and disjointed. It is a simple story about Mintra, a young dancer who is rejected for the main role because she cannot pull off an evil and sensual side. However, a spirit helps her to unleash her dark side. On paper, it sounds like a supernatural Black Swan. It lacks the emotional depth of Black Swan as the director seems only interested in churning out cheap scares. As the plot develops fur...

Rating: 3.5/5 Review: "G-Force movie review" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It is not all that bad, at least it tries its to be an enjoyable family movie flick. But as usual, Disney movies now are getting haters around the world due to its popular teens and live-action animals-talking movies. So now, when they see a live-action Disney movie whether it has teenagers singing or animals yapping away, they would be put off immediately. Whatever it is, G-force is fun with 3-D. Kids would like the cute animals coming near them. The story: G-Force has a simple story which is also not creative. But that it is not what kids want, they would want to see action blazing through their ways. As this being a Jerry Bruckheimer production, you can expect at least a car chase and some explosion but only more mild. Trevor Rabin did a good work in creating epic music. Though a kid movie, expect some rude humour but also at the same ti...

The Five Best And Worst of 2017 Best 1. Dunkirk This is the top movie of 2017 because it was a pleasant experience in cinema. Watching this in cinema was not an initial intent however the strong reviews caught my attention. It is Christopher Nolan's best. It is short and sweet without dwelling on much. Han Zimmer's thrilling score levitates the movie to a whole new level. 2. Blade Runner 2049 It is another surprise hit for me as I did not intend to watch this in cinema too. The long runtime was partially the drawback for me but I was pleasantly surprised that I was engaged throughout the whole movie. Aside from Dennis Villeneuve's strong direction, Han Zimmer's score is on another level. 3. Thor Ragnarok Last year has been a great year. I did not expect to enjoy the third outing of Thor that much. The first one is so-so and the second one is an improvement however none of them stood out in my memories. Thor Ragnarok is definitely one of the most ...
