The Rain (2018)
A non-zombie-apocalypse
I finished watching the first season and as assumed it was nothing too special, nothing really bad and also nothing really new. Dont know if we need another post apocalyptic scenario.
-If you have seen 28 days later, or 28 weeks later and liked it, you might like this too.
-The acting is mostly medicore. As this is a danish made netflix show, I guess its ok for European TV standards. You can't assume they would have the same budget as an US TV show.
-Each of the characters has its own flashback episode, where his/her day before the incident is presented in a very cringy & clichee way. I would say its the easiest way to present a character. So nothing new here either.
- IMO the first and fith episode were actually the most annoying ones. The first one because of the behaviour of the children, and the fith one because of the plot (cannibalism). I am pretty sure you have come across this scenario before, the fifth episode also feels like a "filler-episode". The season finale isnt as great as hoped for, but leaves us with the question "how will their lives go on?"
-There are some plot holes but I can live with them.
PS: I dont know why people give it a 1-Star rating, after only watching 10minutes of it, its definetely not a 1-star series.
Metallica Through the Never (2013)
Great Metallica concert but I wouldn't call it a movie.
I just got home and thought I had to write something about this movie.
First of all, I've seen Metallica 9 times live, and I am a fan, but when it comes to their movies, I get sceptical. Remember "Some Kind of Monster"? The movie starts off with an introduction of all characters, which seems unnecessary, except the roadie character Trip (DeHaan).
The band starts their show and Trip gets an unexpected assignment. It seems to me that DeHaan's parts are not more than 10 Minutes in the whole movie.
The rest of the movie is just an awesome Metallica gig with their stage sets from the past, well at least Lady Justice and the Enter Sandman part from the "cunning stunts" video/DVD - box from 1997 and of course some new stage setting ideas.
The roadie has to look for an item, which is somewhere in the city, which seems to be in a parallel universe or Trip is having a trip.
*Spoiler* Its a leather satchel bag, which the band needs to play the gig. As Trip finds it he looks inside, but the viewer cant see whats in it. When Trip then returns to the venue, the movie is over and we are left, not knowing whats in there. BUT if you are a Metallica fan, and stay in your seat, you probably can assume what it is, as the band plays "Orion" during the credits... I read it somewhere else a few minutes ago and I also thought the same while seeing the ending credits,... it's probably Cliff Burtons soul, because its always with Metallica.
A good ending honoring a great bass player!
