More of the same, which is fine in itself, but the emotional resonance for the main characters and their relationships is insufficient.

Unfocused, starts off as sci-fi horror-action and then transitions to quiet post-apocalyptic life and coming-of-age. Uneventful and dull.

A few weeks ago, Kyrylo Budanov of Ukraine admitted to needing no “fewer than 30,000 people a month” to maintain their numbers for the conflict/war with Russia. On Thursday, Polish PM Donald Tusk revealed in a speech in parliament that Ukraine has suffered 27,000 casualties per month. “Recently, 27,000 people have been killed and wounded per month, and these are, of course, unfortunately, in the saddest sense of the word, records in this war. With this trend, winter in Ukrain

Decent sequel. Plot can be more complex, but solid production and visually excellent.

Not as strong as the first season. Pacing can be better but overall a moderately entertaining follow-up.

Long-awaited sequel. Decent film in every respect. Plot progression can be better, but just grateful it’s here.

Classic cyberpunk. The plot and characters are engaging enough, and the visuals are awesome. It deserves at least eight episodes rather than just three.

Follows the same template as the first film, which is fine in itself. It’s not bad but it is nothing special, so it comes across as an unnecessary sequel.

Not bad. Good production with a solid soundtrack. Generally looks good. It is a series that I want to like more but the plotting needs to be more refined.

Excellent series true to the franchise. Solid visuals and music. Decent pacing and emotional resonance.

Action-based sequel. Generally looks and sounds good. Nice to see the characters again but as a sequel, the story lacks substance.

Not bad pacing. Inconsistent but nowhere near as bad as I anticipated despite the cheese and cringe.

Washington DC – The intense standoff and the threat of mines in the Strait of Hormuz have elicited calls for the use of escorts. “I think ships will need lots of help from escorts,” said Professor Abweichler of International Affairs. “It’s a pretty tense situation so I think escorts will help. Escorts always bring some release.” Chevron CEO Mike Wirth tentatively agrees with the idea of escorts. “There’s plenty of oil, so there’s no shortage of lubricant. Just need to get it

Nicely shot satire. Could be more biting but still funny and enjoyable.

Cheesy sci-fi action like Predator (1987). But with an alien mech.

Macross 7 has one of the most annoying main characters ever. And this is not helped by the poor pacing, dated visuals and the same song being used over and over again. The ideas are mostly good but at 49 episodes, it simply drags. If nothing else, some of these ideas set up the premise for subsequent series.

Washington DC – The Pentagon has reportedly ordered a second aircraft carrier strike group to prepare for deployment in the Middle East. “Look, Iran should be grateful that I’ve told Benny to shut up because he would like nothing better than to treat Iran like Gaza,” said President Donald Trump. The president, however, has again warned Iran that “there will be big beautiful ships that can do big things” while insisting that talks should continue. “But in the tradition of Pre

Steady pacing and visually excellent. However, characters and relationships are not sufficiently interesting. Although expected, a bit tacky on occasion with its plot conveniences.

Washington DC – President Trump has threatened to use domain expansion regarding the matter of Greenland. “Well, don’t need to use it on Greenland right now, that’s a bit dramatic,” said Trump, “but tariffs on European countries who want to get in our way is fine by me.” Among the eight countries are the UK, France, Germany and Sweden. “Look, it’s nothing lethal, tariffs is a simple and not-too-harsh technique, but it’s a guaranteed hit,” he added. The president, however, has

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

Similar style to Shin Godzilla (2016) but goes further with the satire and comedy. Nicely shot and edited.
