1.
RAISED
BY WOLVES
This is as far removed from reality
as you can imagine. In this, androids are tasked to bring up human children, to
what end? Don’t ask me yet, better still don’t hold your breath thinking I may
find out. I do enjoy an odd flick now and then and yes I hope it will be
entertaining.
So, shall we?
The start is intriguing albeit
robotic, the turn of events was nothing that I had expected. For starters the
name of the movie suggested that there would be real wolves, but no, they were
androids that mimicked wolf sounds and evolved beyond thought. At the very
least the robots and the flick in general had a sense of humor.
Can’t say that I really liked it but
you be my guest.
2.
THE
100
This series went above and beyond my
expectations. The fact that there was no visible character lead added to the
excitement, wonder, intrigue and suspense. I loved that on here all bets were
off. It was a masterpiece that I could get back to in the foreseeable future.
As the series progressed into its
later series though, I was thoroughly disappointed when they added in
technology in a non-imaginative way. It took the mystique out of it.
Still, it was quite something.
3.
LOST
This one, I can call the greatest of
all time. Every character brought with them so much more and then Hugo brought
much much more.
It will leave you at the edge of your
sit throughout all its 4 seasons. Once in a while I leaf around to see if
they’ve made anything like it again. It’s quite a unicorn in itself, kind of like
“Prison Break”. Fantastic, can’t try and make another. You just leave it as a
master piece.
The ending though…
4.
FOREVER
You will be left wondering, what did
I just see.
What was the point of all that, I for
one kept waiting for a premise. Never found one and if it was there I missed it
entirely. If you happen to check this out and get what it is about, please
enlighten me.
I’ll say I put it here because
despite my findings at the end, I did watch every last one of its episodes.
Kind of like “second chance” another one that left me boggled.
Don’t let me keep you.
5.
COLONY
This is another one that left me wide
eyed. Couldn’t go on past the first season but since it went on past season 3,
then maybe there is something I missed but wouldn’t want you to miss out on a
good sci/fi just because I couldn’t wrap my head around it.
Who knows, I can’t lie to you about
it but for all I know it may be just down your alley.
6.
TERMINATOR:
THE SARAH CONNOR CHRONICLES
I truly loved, it could have gone on
and on and I would keep watching.
Every character was in their A game
but the one I loved most was Sarah Connor. I know the love of a mother is
something out of this world but in the movie world this mother had love and
capability to boost.
I can assure you, you will find it
quite hard to find a flick mother like her in most if not all other movies.
A master piece of its time it was. I
thoroughly enjoyed myself.
7.
THE
TOMORROW WAR
Sometimes we are so engulfed in the
series world that we forget there are mind boggling movies out there. This is
one of them and am glad I found it.
The cinema, character play, effects,
are more than you can hope for they are just tremendously futuristic. I played
from minute seven more than five times because now, that is a work of art.
(Ever wondered why when you rewind a portion in a movie so much sometimes the
nitty gritty of it get away from you, maybe the brain goes like “we still doing
this, yeah! Am taking time out, will be right here when you done”)
Well, I won’t keep you from this
master piece.
8.
INTO
THE BADLANDS
Started out normally as you would
expect samurai movies to, though with an element that reminded me of “Hunger
games” The first few seasons were incredible.
Then they introduced this dark theme
that had everything go sideways.
Be the Judge.
9.
HUNGER
GAMES
Now these movies were superb. I
watched each as it came out and then had a marathon of them all after they were
completed.
There are 4, “The Hunger Games”, “The
Hunger Games catching fire”, “The Hunger Games: mockingjay-part1” & “The
Hunger Games: mockingjay-part 2”.
I know I will go back and do another
marathon sometime in the foreseeable future.
They are just epic.
10. MAZE RUNNERS
Another set of movies that had me
counting months to the next one.
Of course me being me, I set my family
on a marathon with me for this one and the one above during the quarantine
times. We had a blast for 2 consecutive days along with my then 11-year-old
niece. Those were the days when bathroom breaks had to be timed so that we
could all pause and get it where we left off.
So far, there are 3, “The Maze Runner”,
Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials”, & “Maze runner: The death Cure”
Those were the times, will do it
again. Great things need revisiting.
NB: PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE GREAT
WATCHOFF.
Like if you can, Thank you.
