🦇 The sci-fi, fantasy and capeshit thread

Halo ep4 Paramount +
Wow.
This show has really built up

Constellation
I think i understand Quantum Physics enough to understand

Monolith
a 2022 Aussie film made for a couple of @lifeintheslowlane groats starring a cast of one.
It’s sort of slowly dribbled to the surface, has attracted “interesting” reviews and explores “stuff”
It could be a total waste of 1h 37m of your life.
Or
And anything else is a spoiler


It wasn’t shit I missed Leeds LCFC for it

Netflix.
Avatar - The Last Airbender
Review.
Nobody is blue.
I really want to hate it.
I want to kill the 12 year old kids who wrote a woke wafer thin script with paper cut out characters and boring Steampunk.

But, like the fvcked up all over the place reviews, its #1 in Poland and every where.
It’s Candyfloss without any flavour or sugar rush.
I want to hate it.

Obviously im gonna binge it

Ffs.
Im up to Ep5
In one evening
Hate myself

Avatar - The Last Airbender was, technically shit.
But the story is epic.

So i sat back
And loved it

Watch the original animated series (also on Netflix) - FAR superior to the live action and there’s 4 series plus a sequel show with the next avatar (5? Series of that I think)

And then it crashes and burns, much like Reach…

It felt as if a showrunner said "we need to do some serious reflective shit to make us like The Expanse.
We have the lughting, we have the sound now do some planet stuff…

Halo was at least shown…

Missed opportunity yes, crashed no, not yet

I am rewatching Dune.

As everyone is saying see Dune 2 in the cinema NOW

I saw it yesterday, I was not disappointed.

Dune or Dune 2, or the movie based on a Stephen King book?

Old Spice 1st to refresh but obv Villenueve version
Then cinema for 2

Spaceman
Netflix
Adam Sandler.

  1. Adam Sandler can almost act when he tries it’s a film about the beginning
  2. I think I would have rather paid to watch Napoleon at the Cinema
  3. Compared to this, 2001 a Space Odyssey is clear as a bell
  4. Grateful for someone to tell me what the middle and end was all about.

Are there fart jokes in it. There are fart jokes in a lot of Adam Sandler movies and I think they’d miss a giant trick if there were no fart jokes in the cold vaccum of space.

Or a spacesuit.

Not farts per se.
But there is a lot of action around a non functioning vacuum space crapper & related pee sucker…
One of the few bits i could understand :wink:

Oh yes there was a snot joke
With a Spacesuit.
In an unexpected way

My God.

That is not a film that is a happening.
Sure i hot a sore arse sitting so long, sure half the script was written Polish but what a thing to see

Jaw dropping

Constellation Apple + has continued bumbling along.
After the ISS drama it dived into something.
Yes Quantum Phrsics, Alternate Realities and more while developing characters.
It was always intriguing you know what’s happening without knowing what is going on.
And then Ep6 comes along and.
Well you kniw it all but it is a mind fuck.
This is very clever shit

That name in the credits helped.
Producer : Stephen Spielberg
As did the casting. Jack Reacher 2 in Space.

Taking 2 entire seasons to lay the development for “no spoilers”

Equally for me, there were great explanation articles from Screenrant, Den of Geek & more that explained background stuff in depth without future spoilers, so i’m up with a lot of the backstory.

Very much now set up for S3. Hurry up and film it!
