Film Review: Alien – Romulus
A few conveniences but decent pacing. Nicely lit and shot. Good performances. Not great but still a good effort and entertaining.

Anime Review: Macross
Classic mecha anime. Excellent visuals and sound. Focuses on characters and their relationships.

K-drama ● Review: Goodbye Earth
Opening is a bit muddled but settles into a grim slice-of-life “try to leave out our final days in peace” drama. Ending is bad and cheap.

Drama ● Review: The Acolyte
Clumsy plotting. Too many cringe moments. Jedi Master Squid Game carries the show.

Film Review: Captive State
Crude sci-fi depiction of current state of affairs. Not subtle. Clumsy structure (in a way) but maintains tension. Moderately interesting.

Drama Review: Secret Invasion
Not bad but could go further with the paranoia and suspense. Think of it as a version of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Interesting enough premise. Excellent production. Can delve deeper into the themes, but plot and characters are sufficiently captivating.

Animation Review: Star Wars – Tales of the Empire
Writing is a little clumsy. Looks very good even if one is not a fan of the visual style.

Better execution than the first two parts but plotting is somewhat clumsy.

Anime ● Review: Megazone 23 Part I & Part II
Some consider it a modern classic. Interesting premise. Clumsy plotting. Cheesy and tries too hard with its gratuitous nudity and violence.

Anime ● Review: Black Rock Shooter: Dawn Fall
Cool warrior girl and humans versus evil AI. Nothing particularly good. No few problems but strangely not a complete waste of time.

Film ● Review: Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver
The heroes play farmer in the first half, then get into a shootout with imperial forces in the second. Cheesy and clumsy like Part One.

Animation ● Review: Star Wars – The Clone Wars
Basically an Ahsoka spin-off. Don’t expect too much. Do expect some cheese. Writing improves as the series progresses. Sufficiently amusing.

Anime ● Review: The Big O
Mecha-noir set in a domed city. Interesting premise but too ambitious. Somewhat unfocused and themes insufficiently explored.

Film Review: Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
Another simple monster-fest as expected. Kong needs to take out a titan with Godzilla’s help who goes around collecting power-ups.

Film ● Review: Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire
A rebel’s cheesy recruitment drive against evil imperial forces. Not totally cringe but only because I don’t expect much from Hack Snyder.
