Pacific Rim Uprising Movie Review

Last night I went and saw Pacific Rim Uprising or as it should be known: Lazy Writing The Movie! Because it really is.
This movie is all plot and no story. There are certain actions taken which you know will lead to other things down the road, and it's so freaking obvious that it's like the writers were not even trying. This entire movie is just a pay check.
There are a few scenes where there is genuine intrigue, but alas, they just skip right over that and go straight into the action scenes. It was like the writers couldn't come up with any details for an interesting concept, so instead they decided to just cut to the fight scene instead.
The actors in this movie try sometimes, but don't really do much with their range.
The music is pretty generic.
I guess some of the fight scenes are cool.
I really would skip this one if I were you. There's really not much to see here. The movie is very predictable. Is it the worst film ever? No, but that doesn't mean that it's not bad.


final score: 2.5/5

Uncharted Movie Review

Uncharted Movie Review Not As Good As The Games I went and saw the movie Uncharted a while ago, and it was as I expected it to be. If you are a fan of the games, well... prepare for disappointment. Uncharted follows Nathan Drake (Tom Holland), a low level thief as he is recruited by Victor Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg) to go on a treasure hunt. As someone who has played some of the games, but not all, I have to say that the Uncharted film is what I thought it would be. A mishmash of all four games but not committing to any of them. The acting is a bit stale, and the plot is predictable. The camera work was fine, but the music was underused. Tom Holland should not have been Nathan Drake. He lacks the charisma, the attitude, and the charm. He may have passed for a teenage Nathan Drake, but he should have only been in a few scenes. I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Holland either long time readers may know. Now, onto Mark Wahlberg as Victor Sullivan. Mark Wahlberg is way too young to be playi

Coda Movie Review

Coda Movie Review This Deserved Best Picture So, I just got back from seeing Coda, and it was amazing! This was the second attempt to see this film as the first time, someone booked the entire theater for a private screening. I'm going to take from a summary from IMDB to summarize the plot: " As a CODA (Child of Deaf Adults) Ruby is the only hearing person in her deaf family. When the family's fishing business is threatened, Ruby finds herself torn between pursuing her passion at Berklee College of Music and her fear of abandoning her parents." The acting was  phenomenal, the  cinematography was beautiful, and the story was human. The way this film is crafted is nothing short but excellent. I will not that not everything is 100% accurate, but for narrative reasons, I understand the choices they made. The actors have amazing chemistry together. Everything feels natural between them and they all bring their characters to life. No performance fell flat. I perhaps would
