It was as if they were planning to make a TV show season with a cliff hanger but lost funding or maybe some actors quit but it was rushed into a movie instead and the cliff hanger was turned into a question mark but there seems little likelihood of a second movie.

2 interracial couples, and now a polyamorous couple …Emma running shit over Ish is more woke propaganda “Wise man listens to his wife.” yikes ..although beta men are more on trend
so bad ! Not the quality of a Star Trek production. Very disappointed, total garbage
You can’t tell someone they are wrong with their own opinion my friend. I find other movies she has done to be much, much better then that film. But if you find it to be her best, that is awesome for you. But I don’t judge a person’s work by if they get nude in their movie or not.
That’s recent enough for me to try to salvage my original comment!
The idea of getting to see the dangerous Georgiou ply her wiles on the dark edges of Starfleet had a lot of potential. But it’s hard to survive the tumult of fickle corporate nonsense. After all the crap this production went through, I did not have high hopes for a good bit of entertainment.
Despite that, I was still disappointed.
The script and much of the production itself is now the example image by the phrase “trying too hard”. Worse, it could not decide what it wanted to be (and never approached anything “Star Trek” or adjacent).
Yeoh did a great job despite having nearly nothing to work with (and her one intense fighting scene was - as all her martial art stuff is - satisfying to watch). Omari Hardwick also pulled off some great moments despite it all. The rest, well, sorry folks. None of you really sucked, but you were in the cesspool over your heads here.
If you have a couple of hours to kill, I think I can recommend finding anything else to do.
Major spoiler here from the Fandom page:
He is later revealed to be the Masked Kidnapper behind the death of Jimmy Powell as well as the abduction and mutilation of his own son Nicky Spencer. Aaron Spencer is the first Main Antagonist of the series and Dexter’s first major target - being connected to Spencer via his work and his father.
I gave it two episodes and there’s something really off with the overall timing of the show. It’s like an editor is trying to work around a bad director or something. At times it jumps from scene to scene like they didn’t finish a conversation or you are jumping into the middle of one. sometimes people are arguing and it seems like an entire sentence was cut because the response doesn’t make perfect sense. You jump into scenes as if the back story on the characters has already been established. It makes for a really awkward show of random action and long dialogue that is awful.
Sprinkle a little Fundamentalist Xtian and Libertarian catch phrases in there and this is what you get. 5 really big stars right now are being wasted on this lethargic show.
The writing is like a lackluster daytime soap opera sprinkled with some violence and a little Jesus talk here and there.
60’s is fifty plus years ago.

I was not expecting this! Why is the million dollar question! I’m gonna hate waiting for next Friday’s episode! And what will Dexter do? And Spencer’s reaction from the moment Nicky went missing is so, so believable!
I was thinking Captain Arron Spencer is copycatting the other child killer so he can swoop in and play the hero by rescuing his own son (that he held captive) and come out as the winner with the deep conflict he’s been having with his wife.
I bet in the next episode he’s going to rescue his son, sabotage the blood sample that Dexter was working on (his own blood), and nobody will know what he did except Dexter.
Great another horror movie that has Mickey Mouse as the main slasher horror-type villain because that’s not getting old already lol.
#001 was the mastermind in season 1? It’s been so long since I saw it I forgot. The chances of #001 doing the same in this season seems pretty slim in my opinion. Why would they do that again?
Se2 was not near as good as Se1, but it was still ok, I guess. But I will add, these back and forth decisions by Rose became a little irritating to me, tbh
It is amazing how some of these people still have it so wrong when it comes to Trump. They are mocking him and acting like they have to say they like him so he won’t come after them. Such fools and to lazy to do their own checking on the truth instead of believing the news.
burr voted for him but he wants to keep working in the business and it is left wing
Kinda fizzled out by the end (lost steam by EP 6 and never recovered) with it being more of a set up for a season 2 than an actual self contained season arc due to how the ending plays out.

I was completely unaware of this movie. It is going on my watch list. I do believe I found a hidden gem
I like this one and will keep watching and Roxburgh’s acting got better and better on Manifest. Now she’s a natural.
yeah, thanks, i know how to use google and tried that before writing a comment.

A bit of trivia. The song playing at the memorial was “Oh very young” by Cat Stevens (1974). Stevens was popular during the 70’s as a singer-songwriter. In 1977 he converted to Islam leaving the music industry. He changed his name to Yusuf Islam devoting himself to causes in the Muslim community. In 2006 he returned to music releasing albums in 2006,2009, 2014, 2017 and 2020.

Is there really any point in putting in a REQUEST LINKS? How does this work? I have a bunch of stuff in my library that I have requested links for, but they never seem to come up. Not complaining, I love this site, just trying to work out if I am doing this right?
Piglet, Ive got to ask, do you watch anything you comment on? Take a step back for a minute. take a breatherr lady. holy hell.
It is a fun movie. Haven’t seen it in ages so I think it’s time for a rewatch. Such a great cast. Director Edgar Wright did Shaun of the Dead which is a fun zombie movie too if you’ve not seen it. Hot Fuzz is another great one of his. He’s made some great movies.
I don’t think the acting/action sequences were awful. The 4 big actors I’ve scene in a ton of stuff were on auto pilot nothing fantastic or memorable to note. The transition scenes and special effects were terrible. so terrible that the entire thing seems like they are just trying too hard. This almost seemed like a random sci fi script for netflix that changed the names of locations to cram it into the Star Trek Universe.
The long ass informational scene transitioning after the whole Terran empire thing was pretty cheesy. It was exactly like a Carmen San Diego case file from the 90s tv show. Every transitional scene feels like a video game.
I forgot whether the female lead spoke French as well in the other series, Death In Paradise. For some reason, I just enjoyed these cozy detective show. I just hope her backstory will be exciting.
This is such a fun watch!

Ok i LOVED THIS. I’m already found footage obsessed so this FF broke down barriers. We just witnessed a massive revolution in a genre that doesn’t have much wiggle room for change. Someone said it was scary and sad… and they were right… and there we tons of emotions in-between. This film allowed you to be very intimate with the family. It very very personal. Honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing. This film has opened the doors to numerous possibilities for found footage in the future. We thought it FF was a dead end… but this movie shows us: “when one window closes, another door opens.” Watch the movie and come back read this. Iyky. Don’t miss this one guys. It’s different… but in a new way. 10/10
Your comment convinced me to put this on my list to watch. I’ve watched a few FF movies & I like them so it should be interesting to see what this is about.
This is such a trippy series. Pretty intense subject matter & witchery makes for a potent weird mix. Love it.

It’s good, but it’s so confusing now, with all the disjointed out-of-sequence scenes. It’s hard to tell what their present status is at all. Are they staying? Are they fired? WTAF is this new season about? I binged the first season, and it was a bit confusing, but nothing compared to this season.
I think the confusion is part of the allure of the show. It really keeps me wondering wtf is really going on. I get that others don’t like shows to be confusing & be more obvious but I like to be challenged & allowed to try to piece it together. But to each their own.
Well, in the first season, #001 was pretty much the mastermind of the whole thing! Don’t you think that could probably be the case in this season too?? (I won’t spoil what happens in later episodes, but I was suspicious of him right away, and surprised it wasn’t even mentioned once in this season)

What do you mean?

Can’t believe I never seen this movie 😆😆😆
