The Mandalorian: Chapter 20: The Foundling (2023)
Tears of joy, twice in an episode, in a show's third season. Thank you Carl Weathers.
This episode is 100% action driven, and there's still plenty of drama baked in. I love how storytelling with minimal dialogue and relatively unknown characters can cause me to wait with baited breath to see the outcome of a short television episode.
Directing and cinematography is spot on. Carl Weathers directorial debut for Mandalorian was definitely a home run.
The lore continues to grow and we continue to see what is possible in the new Star Wars universe.
My only complaints are that some of the extras over acted and some cgi landscapes were a bit wonky in places. Nothing that caused me to loose my suspension of disbelief or press the fast forward (skip forward) button.
Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
It's a movie about dinosaurs in real life.
The movie's plot doesn't feel contrived. While it may be simple and predictable for those of us who've watched hundreds of movies, those that have not (aka children) love the movie. The jump scares work, the threats seem real, and the acting is top notch! Yes, the actors did amazing given what little they had to work with in a movie about dinosaurs in real life.
Check your suspension of disbelief at the door and have fun reliving your childhood, or creating new memories watching a Jurassic park movie for the first time.
