Dev Patel plz less cuts in the fighting scenes.
Besides the rapid cuts…the camera work during some of the fight choreography reminded me on the Kendrick Lamar Humble music video, particularly the shot where Kendrick looking at the camera and it keeps moving to a different location and he keeps looking at the lens. That combined with a soundtrack that bangs made this a very good time.

I watched this a month ago and it’s still kinda fuccin me up… 

It drags a bit, while watching it felt like some episodes could have easily been cut or condensed. But the ending tied it together enough that I can understand why some episodes feel boring. 

It is definitely cheesy and can be hard to get through at times but that ending just really threw me and I’ve thought about this series off and on since watching…I think that’s a good thing.

It was ehh. I wanted more Napoleon battle strategy and less “give me a son or else”. I can see how this is a “good movie”  (visually impressive and Napoleon is pretty well developed) but it’s just not what I wanted and I checked the amount of time left in the movie atleast 4 times.

It is unfair to make this comparison but I rewatched 300 shortly after this and had a much better time with that. That movie may be historically inaccurate but than again so is Napoleon and atleast 300 is fun

This review may contain spoilers.

This movie has somehow made me a Timothée fan and that’s saying a lot. Towards the end I lost Paul a bit as I just don’t think Timmy boi can play a convincing leader type character for the same reasons that make him so good when playing the Paul that is struggling with what he should do and who he is. Maybe part of this isn’t on him and can be blamed on the fact that the transition from Freman wanna be to lisan al gaib happens so quickly.

Either way Iam honestly nitpicking and obviously loved it based on how fast I reached for that 5 star button. I hope more Dune magic is to be had in the future tho reading the books leads me to worry as the subject material starts to deteriorate after this IMHO

Potential QT’s best (maybe it’s Django tho idk). The villain really carries  the film, and QT makes it ever so easy for you to hate him. This movie really does it all and it does it well, it will draw into the story, will make you laugh, will put you on the edge of your seat (I mean the scene in the bar is one of the most tense scenes ever), is just a super fun movie while also managing to take it self serious. The soundtrack is also great.

He is Ken and his job is astronaut. Sometimes he gets emotionally traumatized by the death of this daughter and goes on a quest to feel anything other than grief through repeatedly risking his life in high stakes space missions. Barbie hates this and is sad. 

This one had some ups and downs. Space travel shown in a unique light, you don’t see the rocket go up when they go to the moon, or the capsule as it docks with the LEM, instead you see the inside of the these vehicles, almost as if your in there with Neil. You feel the anxiety of not really knowing where you are, only being able to “see” with your instruments. While it less of a theatrical spectacle, it lead to some great moments of tension and anxiety.

Neil (or should I just say Ryan Gosling because that’s all your going to see his as “oh look Ryan Gosling is on the moon”) is a bummer the whole movie. I get he is sad but like it seemed like he wasn’t even interested in space and just wanted to do something high stakes and that’s wack. Buzz was good though, very literal leading to some funny moments.

Overall, I think it might change with a rewatch, but for now it’s an ehh movie with the highlight being an interesting theatrical way of showing space flight.
