Bai she chuan shuo (2011)
Wonderful, Magical Movie!
I simply loved the magical moves and powers displayed in this movie. I thought they were very imaginative and just spectacular! These kind of movies spark the imagination and, I believe, are more than worth watching, just for that. The fight sequences were some of the best I've ever seen. That alone would have been enough to make a very good movie. But the romance was perfect too! As I was watching it, I just kept thinking, "Oh my goodness, this is so awesome! This is the best movie I've ever seen, so far!" The only reason I give it a 9 and not 10/10 is the ending. So as not to spoil anything I will only say that I understand why they ended it the way they did, and in a way that is perfect for the kind of movie they were trying to make, so you might indeed like it, but that part was not perfect for me.
Enterprise (2001)
Wonderful
I loved the new theme song, and I feel the theme song is reflected in the whole series: it inspires one to be better, more kind, more open to new things, and to have faith (a general faith in oneself, the kind of faith that gives you strength). But it's not just about becoming a better person, of course - it is thoroughly enjoyable and exciting! There are a few philosophical issues I found quite interesting as well. I really liked the visual effects and the acting too. I think it is a positively uplifting series whose example all series should take.
I like how it fills in a lot of missing pieces from Star Trek and really adds to the storyline. It's really fun to watch the technologies that everyone is used to in Star Trek: TNG, for example, being tested and first used. I also felt some of this storyline was a lot more intense than anything in the original Star Trek series, which certainly added to the excitement!
Battlestar Galactica (2004)
Exciting, but lacking substance
(THE SPOILERS ARE CLEARLY MARKED AND ARE ONLY IN THE END OF THE REVIEW) In all honesty, I love science fiction, so I could not get myself to stop watching it until it ended. But when I finished it, I did not get the warm fuzzy feeling that I just added something positive and worthwhile to the list of my life experiences like I had after reading / watching Dune, Lord of the Rings, or Star Trek: Enterprise. Battlestar Galactica certainly keeps you on the edge of your seat and is very original. But I feel like the original elements in it were not put together well and were underdeveloped.
There were a few really cool inventions, but they were not developed to the extent I had envisioned. I feel like these could very well be developed into something a lot more, and that it would make a more beautiful storyline. Also, the majority of the series is quite depressing. So much is old, gray, and dull; and the happy parts are underdeveloped (which I guess I was the intent). So I wouldn't recommend watching it if you're hoping for something new that will lift your spirits - it is definitely new, but it may not lift your spirits.
I thought much of the acting was brilliant, especially by Grace Park. The visual effects were really cool.
SPOILERS START NOW: Projection could have been made use of a lot more, especially by delving into the psychology behind the human need to project and the possibilities that this could offer. Also, the substance that the whole Cylon ship was coated in, which was "alive" and cylons could tap into to connect with the ship and each other could have been developed a LOT more. I was hoping cylons would share intimate moments by joining their minds via this substance and that they would talk more about how the cylons feel about this substance. The angels of Six and Baltar had absolutely no explanations about them - why were they chosen to be angels? Why no one else (except I guess Kara, who was a completely different type of angel - and why was that)? There are certain prophecies in it that I felt were really too shallow, especially the "truth of the opera house." It did not lead to nearly as glorious a moment as I expected. In fact, that prophecy itself did not lead to anything. Something very important happened right afterward, but it seemed unrelated to the prophecy, like there was no point in the prophecy at all. The most magical musical thing - Kara Thrace finding the way to Earth - was completely unrelated (I thought this was wonderful though). Also the prophecy of the child leading to the shape of things to come was weird because it was not the child of Baltar and 6, nor did it have much to do with them at all in the movie - they didn't end up taking care of it, so I felt it was wrongly called "their" child.
Also, I thought the "dying leader" was supposed to die before getting to Earth. Granted, that whole plan was ruined, but then why did she die on Earth immediately after getting there? I was disappointed that Bill and Laura, and also Kara and Lee, didn't end up together.
I also felt Dualla killing herself was too random. There was no indication in the movie that her only goal was to be on Earth, or to just be happy with Lee. It's understandable that she would be sad seeing her husband in love with another, but not that she would kill herself.
Mean Girls (2004)
Great Actors
This movie has an incredible cast! Seriously, everyone does an absolutely amazing job. It all fits together so well because of how well each personality is shown! From nerds to self-proclaimed cool people, students, teachers, and parents have their personalities developed deeply. It is amazing how much storyline the movie covers, considering how much in detail each personality is shown.
Oh yeah, and it's really funny too! There's funny scenes all throughout the movie, of course, and, of course, depending on your personality, you might find some more funny than others, but this is especially true in this movie. The actors do a great job and everything turns out really funny! This isn't just another silly movie; there's a lot of really good stuff here!
