movie review

The movie Social Dilemma should probably be classified as a horror movie. At least I was terrified after watching it. Hardly any real horror movie is able to do me that. And that was despite the fact that I knew the topic and all the things presented in this documentary prior watching it already. 

Just another movie review. No need to worry, I'm not actually thinking about ending anything. There has been more than usually of these lately.

It's hard to describe this movie. It's hard to tell anything about it. Not because I don't want to spoil any plot twist but because I'm not sure what I just saw. It's all just too weird and confusing. It's like you are just about to grasp what's going on, but then you're not. You are just waiting there hoping that everything will come together at the end. That there will be some conclusion. 

Science fiction is full of predictions about future technology. While some of the predictions sounded wild at their time many of the inventions predicted in early sci-fi from late 19th and early 20th century has already become real. In some cases we have even surpassed those predictions by centuries while other inventions might still be another century or two away.

Others who are not yet too deep into the genre might enjoy it a bit more. All in all, I would give this movie seven(eves) out of ten(et) from my own perspective purely as an action movie.

The comparison with Inception comes to my mind, both being the mind-twisting stories everybody is talking about while I'm left wondering what's all the fuzz about. Maybe I've just seen too many of these stories that nothing can surprise me anymore. Or maybe I'm just overlooking the fine nuances they provide.

The conclusion to the Star Wars saga has finally arrived. Spanning across five decades it's probably the longest running movie series based on original work. And now it's finally complete.

It has been interesting journey. Not least due to the unconventional order they were released. Later generations have had widely different experience watching those movies.

So was the last one good, worthy conclusion to such a remarkable saga? Yes, and no.

We went to watch the movie Tolkien tonight.  It's a movie about Tolkiens early life before he became one of the worlds greatest fantasy writers. Spoiler: in the end, he starts writing the Hobbit. 

If this would have just been a movie about a guy growing up, finding friends and falling in love while going through rough studies with a poor background I don't think I would have ever watched such a movie. I'm not the best judge of that kind of movies, but I would say as such this would have been barely mediocre.
