Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Review.

    Overview I do not like turn based RPGs usually. But Expedition 33 is one of my favorite games I've ever played. Expedition 33 has an incredible storyline, phenomenal acting, addicting gameplay and is a surefire GOTY winner. Spoilers ahead! Plot Expedition 33 is a master class in storytelling. The story goes through many events over the course of the Expedition. From the disastrous landing on the island, to the dramatic finale, 33 keeps the plot going strong the whole way through. The storyline starts off with the Gommage, and sets the stage for the beginning of the Expedition.  The game immediately starts off with a very sad beginning.. Nothing seems to go right for Expedition 33 from this point forwards. Expedition 33 takes this time to introduce characters and the setting, and it does a phenomenal job of doing that. Which makes character deaths hit way harder than other games. Expedition 33s story is a rollercoaster of emotions. One moment you defeat what you think ...

Alien Earth: In Space, No one.....: I've seen this before......

  Overview Alien Earth's 5th episode is easily the best one yet. Massive character development for everyone, well who lives, and the effects and plot is great. It's basically a remake of Alien and one of my favorite TV episodes I've ever seen. Plot This episode's plot takes place on the Maginot. Before it crashes into earth, yes its a prelude. Morrow takes center stage and that plays off perfectly. Morrow's backstory is very similar to Ellen Ripley's and also tragic. This episode is dark and has expert storytelling. Morrow has a much similar problem to the original movie. There is someone working to sabotage the ship, engineers are complaining about shares again and aliens are on the loose. But everyone's favorite eyeball also has a major role. The eye appears to actually try to save some crew members, and even fights the Xenomorph.  New characters are introduced (Although they obviously all die in the end) But still they are all based off of characters from...

Alien Earth Observation Review

  Overview Alien Earth's fourth episode really goes off the deep end with strange additions to the Alien lore and plenty of "What?!" Moments, and raises an absolute ton of questions. But once again, Alien Earth is taking it's sweet time setting up, and this episode seems to be the worst yet.  Plot Alien Earth's 4th installment is probably the oddest plot yet. It's broken up into 3 subplots. The first follows Wendy as she learns she can (Spoilers!) Speak to the Xenomorph, which is... odd. The second follows Slightly as Morrow manipulates him into something, what he does is yet to be seen, and the ethics of moving Kids into machine bodies. Wendy being able to speak to the Xenomorph is both interesting and strange. There have been past mentions of Synthetics talking to the Alien in the novels, but it's still weird. This plotline may pay off in future episodes, but for now it doesn't make much sense and is extremely odd. The Slightly subplot is interesting...

Alien Earth Metamorphosis Review

  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 ...

Alien Earth: Neverland and Mr. October Review: A (nearly) Perfect Organism

  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...

Superman Review: Up up and away!

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...

A Minecraft movie review

    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 ...
