The Code (2014)
Yeah, this is good
Excellent acting, smart scripts, reality.
You must brush aside the stereotypes, some small absurdities, but even for a computer programmer this is an enjoyable series to watch.
The Rain (2018)
Hollywood wannabe
I like European movies because they are on average smarter and more respectful of intelligent audience than the 'merican stuff. But not this one.
It falls to stupidity. It fails so miserably that after 5 minutes i just wanted to eat the keyboard, the characters annoyed me so much. I cannot believe real people would react with such stupidity in given circumstances, let alone children of a supposed scientist.
At least hollywood has their standard boilerplate stuff that is usually of high quality, alas this production even fails there.
So really there is nothing left to see.
give 5 stars for bravery.
Lost in Space (2018)
It's incredibly dumb
I saw this on Netflix and I was excited.
But after 15 minutes I had to stop and breathe. Perhaps if it were a normal 'ordinary US family' set in some suburbs somewhere who knows where, it'd make perhaps for solid entertainment for people not looking for sf.
As a science fiction, it is absolutely absurd. I won't go into problems, too many to mention. I watched some episodes from 'so bad it's good' point of view. Like a small truck of methane propellant to lift an absurd spaceship off from an Earth-sized planet, water lake instantly freezing through and through .. I don't know who it's for, but i suspect for people who know absolutely nothing except 'social skillz'.
There is a stereotypical story with absurd parent-child-sibling-mom-dad situation from a typical american B movie.
I don't know, but Netflix is just getting worse every year.
Fringe (2008)
mindless
It's impossible for anyone with any basic understanding of Nature to watch this, I endured a couple of episodes just because there are no real alternatives. And that was after watching numb3rs, which compared to this is a really really really good show. Some may say "hey it's sci-fi, what do you expect?" Well, for me it's the same as if characters wore bikinis all the time and used bananas instead of pistols. It's that stupid. And worse, I am really scared that producers think people are so dumb they are going to like it. And I'm scared because science coming through to the people with shows like this is working the wrong way, people already hate science enough, without seeing mad voodoo lunatics talking nonsense on TV.
