Nothing great but a solid series nonetheless. Decent writing, good performances and well-produced.

Whilst it is not outright bad, it is simply too conventional, predictable and lacks intrigue. Mackie and, to a lesser extent, Ford carry the film.

Not bad even though it can be much better. Can look darker and grittier. Admittedly not the easiest short story to adapt, but at least the screenplay is written by the original author.

Entertaining series. Some visual elements are a bit jarring but generally well-produced. It is funny, but can be funnier. Tries a little too hard to be edgy. Grounded by the friendship between the two lead characters.

Starship Troopers  was first published as a two-part serial before being released as a novel in 1959. Written by Robert A. Heinlein, himself a navy veteran, this military sci-fi coming-of-age story covers Johnnie Rico’s basic training and early career in Mobile Infantry (M.I.). This review will make a few comparisons with the 1997 film directed by Paul Verhoeven with the screenplay written by Edward Neumeier. Is the film faithful to the book? More Yes than No. Like most if n

Mildly sci-fi action-thriller. Has its problems but a straightforward and enjoyable action-thriller with good main characters.

Spy thriller with a guy who can’t shoot, which is refreshing. Solidly produced. Steady pacing. Some elements can be better developed; definitely not a bad film but nothing spectacular either.

Dark and gritty CG anime film. Mostly looks good but the storytelling tries to be way bigger than it is and so comes across as cheap.

Lacks plot and focus. Has elements of action, thriller and drama, but manages to be none of them.

Very contrived way to get Arisu and Usagi back to Borderland. Well-produced but is more like an afterthought featuring material that should have been done in the first place.

Nothing spectacular but continues to be a well-produced and fun show with ridiculous action.

Good production but lacks an intriguing plot. There are a few cool scenes but not enough.

Released in 2019, these six short films were produced in association with 20th Century Fox after being selected as winners of the...

As expected, the rendering and animation have improved. But still meh.

Mostly looks good. Doesn’t try as hard as Volume 1, which is a good thing, but nothing great apart from “Bad Travelling” and “Jibaro”.

Looks good enough with solid performances. But the initial pacing is too slow and the comedy falls flat.

Mostly looks good. Doesn’t try as hard as Volume 1, which is a good thing, but nothing special.

Dark sci-fi cyberpunk set in a vast, lifeless cityscape in the distant future. Looks good. Not a bad story. Solid worldbuilding.

An anthology that mostly looks good but most of the episodes try too hard.

Simple dark fantasy-horror: kill the bad guy with a sword and save the world. Looks great but it’s a bit flat.

A form of the superhero genre with “immortal” warriors. Tries too hard with action and grit, so it just comes across as bland cheese. Meh.
