Halo (2022)
A reflection of the video game series
I have played my fair share of the Halo games. Maybe not as much as some other people, but enough that allows me to appreciate the intricate lore behind the franchise. It is every sci-fi kid's dream; blasting away aliens and controlling unique vehicles to get to the next checkpoint.
So I watched the first episode, saw the beloved Master Chief in action. Watched those same weapons and vehicles used in a beautiful recreation of the games. I knew after that first episode that this would be a great series, and I was not wrong. The plot kept me hooked through both seasons, and I hope it continues through the third (not announced yet but highly likely).
I will add that the beginning of season 2 was a bit slow, but just trust me and keep watching.
If you enjoy the games as much as I do, then I definitely recommend this show for you! The connections to the video game lore will leave you grasping for more!
Lullaby (2022)
Baby crying
Yeah sure the demon probably opened the hatch to the bird cage. But why the hell is your instinct to swing a fire poker in the dark? What if it was not the bird but instead the wife with your son?
Papo just wanted to greet his human and was murdered for it.
The first 20 minutes was just, as many have said, a baby crying. Well that and some sex (I guess to show the demon interfering in the couple's relationship?).
I always love learning new things, so when they started discussing the demon lore (Lilith's origin) I was eagerly listening. Almost laughed a little too hard when the rabbi called the whole thing a myth; would the whole of Christianity be a myth then in that sense?
EDIT: Just finished the movie, can someone give me the last hour and a half back? The whole thing just dragged on, the ending seemed rather predictable, and the horror element was almost nonexistent.
I originally gave such a poor rating because of Papo's horrific unwarranted death, but after finishing it I'd say it deserves the low ratings. Even the acting is subpar.
