  Overview Alien Earth takes it's sweet time setting up its story. Episode 3 is another slower more story focused episode, with hardly any Alien action at all. However the stakes that episode 3 sets, are very high. NOTE: "Execution" section is being skipped as is the Soundtrack score. Plot Alien Earth's 3rd episode starts off with Wendy chasing down the Xenomorph. We see more of the Lost Boys, Wendy, Joe, Kirsh and Boy Kavilier. The episode is light on action but heavy on story setup. Kirsh analyzes the captive specimens after Boy Kavilier's science team captures them, Joe survives and is part of some strange medical experiment, and Morrow is up to suspicious activities. Alien Earth episode 3 is clearly gearing up for something big. Boy Kavilier and Kirsh examine a Xenomorph egg. Although we don't get to see what the episode is gearing up for, the final twist is a good one, and increases the anticipation for episode 4. Characters Episode 3 has an absolute ton ...

  Overview When I had first heard of Alien Earth, It quickly moved up to the top of my most anticipated shows and movies. And after watching the debut episodes I can say it sure as heck doesn't disappoint. Alien Earth's first 2 episodes capture the Alien theme and the Sci-Fi Horror of the iconic franchise. Plot The first episode's Plot is extremely well done, and this carries on into the second. The beginning of the episode is placed aboard a Weyland-Utani Science Vessel transporting, you guessed it, dangerous specimens. This part is mostly setup and semi-explains what happens to the crew on this doomed vessel. Episode one is a lot more plot focused then overall horror.  The Hybrid Wendy at the Neverland research facility. The backstory of each character is also interesting. One of the main focuses of the plot is the "race for immortality" with Synths, Cyborgs and Hybrids all playing key parts in this series. Morrow is an interesting character who is the only surv...

Overview I was skeptical of James Gunn's Superman at first. But after watching it I can safely say that I was wrong. Superman is a great start for Gunn's DCU and tells a great story backed by really good acting.  Plot The plot of Superman is actually one of the better superhero movie plots I've seen. The plot goes deep into topics such as Superheroes and politics, and Superman's humanity is a key aspect of the plot. There are conspiracies and a bunch of subplots that all lead somewhere. Lex Luthor But a key part of the movie is the character development. Superman, Luthor, Louis and more show a very large amount of character development throughout the movie. Some characters like Green Lantern are used only as side heroes, while others like Mr. Terrific (Who I had no idea existed before the movie) plays a key role in the storyline. The plot focuses on Superman and how he is a model hero who never really does anything wrong. Even little notes to that like Superman saying t...

    Overview A Minecraft movie should be retitled to "A MemeCraft Movie." The movie is severely damaged by its generic and uninspired plot, ridiculous acting, boring characters, and basically is just one big internet meme. And to make matters worse, the visual effects don't look as good as they should. Plot A Minecraft Movie suffers from a bland traditional action movie plot that feels incredibly rushed along. The plot follows Steve as he goes to a mine, finds an "orb" and goes to the overworld where an evil Piglin witch is trying to use it to destroy the overworld and Steve has to stop it with help from a bunch of forgettable characters from the real world. Before everything "Withers and Dies" The whole thing is paper thin. The Piglins All of the plot is predictable and so ridiculously rushed it's hard to tell what's going on. First there's one fight and then in 10 minutes Steve is running from a massive Piglin "Hog" with almost ...

  Overview Thunderbolts* was not exactly the "Edgy Avengers" I wanted. It was even better. Thunderbolts* follows a team of secondary MCU characters on an excellent adventure full of emotion and great acting in the best MCU film since Captain America: The Winter Solider. Plot Thunderbolts* is different. Very different. Thunderbolts* boasts one of the best MCU storylines ever made. The story also has absolutely incredible character development. One of the reasons the plot is so good is because it is so incredibly different from other plots in the MCU like the Avengers movies. The film follows Yelana Belova, Red Guardian, Ghost, Taskmaster, U.S. Agent and Bob on an emotional story where the Thunderbolts battle a very real villain: Depression.  The Thunderbolts when The Void attacks. The film has 2 halves. A dark half and a light half. The dark half is actually amazing. Lewis Pullman as Bob / Sentry is absolutely amazing as he carries the film alongside Florence Pugh as Yelana / ...

  Overview. Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Is an adaptation of the best Sonic game ever made. Sonic Adventure 2. But it does its level best to completely ruin the already phenomenal plotline and focus on the wrong characters. S cenes range from amazing to unbelievably awful.  Plot. As the source material's plot is amazing, it will come as no surprise that Sonic 3 has the strongest plot out of all 3 films. The story follows the darker themes of the Sonic universe. however, there are some weak points. Shadow Escapes from G.U.N. As a huge fan of the game this film is based off of, I was excited for this movie the day I heard it's release date. But that kind of ruined it for me. If you are looking for a 1-1 recreation of the game, you will not get that here. It's just not nearly faithful enough. I have seen multiple adaptations that were not super faithful such as Unreal Tournament: XAN from Secret Level. But most of them still kept to the original format. Sonic 3 has multiple completely...
