Distorted (I) (2018)
3/10
Distorted

I think that's the name of the film? The first minute I thought I accidentally started the film right in the middle somewhere and didn't get, that it was the beginning. I thought I missed something. Or a whole half of a movie.

But if I started watching somewhere in the middle it would not have mattered in any way. It wouldn't have affected my understanding of what's going on with Christina Ricci, her boyfriend, the house or even John Cusack. I'm not wiser after 60 minutes into the film.

There's a scene where John Cusack leaves Ricci standing in the middle of a building or construction site or something like that and she's confused and doesn't know what's going on; and that's about how I felt the whole film through - left standing without explanation somewhere, looking into the distance, trying to make sense of what's going on.

All I will remember probably is how annoying the sound of a coffee maker can be, while the film drags on an on in the background...

Massive spoiler ahead: As I am rewatching the show I cry during this "glorious" moment Boba "stopped the train", as he sends the pusher on his way, in reality he casts a death sentence over the sand people tribe. What a waste.

Overall I loved the show albeit I just watched to see what happened to baby Grogu in the mean time I wait for The Mandalorian to continue.

The Book or The Thousand Lives Of Boba Fett is still a series to behold and a shame Disney can't manage to continue epic series on a yearly basis or every two years as we have accustomed ourselves to in the last let's say 8 years. Thank you very much.

magic mushrooms & 2 years leaving us hanging on a cliff, really?!?

Magic Mushrooms. I can't wait 2 years until we get to know if the magic mushrooms Argyle found in the woods will save the day slash world. It was an amazing ST 4, despite the obvious flaws & occasional plotholes.

I really hate to wait that long for the story to continue.

I am going to watch this gem again and again
29 January 2022
Found this masterpiece gem on Youtube about 3 month ago and already rewatched it twice and parts of it numerous times.

So much effort went into making this marine life documentary that you can't but appreciate it in awe. It was filmed during a thousand dives and the narration/ explanation during this film that is a worth while journey under water is superb.

I am going to watch this again and again while never stop being totally amazed what clever beautiful animals live in our oceans. These resourceful marine creatures should star in way more films as long as we have them because apparently humanity is about to wipe out a big part of the life that's inhabiting the underwater worlds.

"the warm clear water and diversity of marine life make the Andaman an attractive dive destination. And many divers visit each year to explore and enjoy the underwater world".

From the safety of our homes we are taken on an amazing journey to meet the most awesome creatures that inhabit the Andaman reef.

If you like nature and animal documentaries you have to watch this masterpiece I bet you won't regret it.

all comes undone
19 September 2020

I feel compelled to write a review because of many 1-star-reviews I read. They complain about too many plotholes, that the show is slow and confusing; too many characters and too many timelines.

I don't get and like people who watch a few episodes, maybe into the 2nd or even 3rd season and then presume to condemn a show listing the assumed failures mentioned above. Respectively what I don't like is, said people giving 1 star and writing a very bad review about a show they haven't even watched from the beginning to the end! I mean, how dare they? It's beyond me.

It took me a while to sort it all out for me but it was worth the effort. I watched the 1st season twice. And yes, it is complicated. Sometimes or oftentimes I had to rewind and rewatch scenes to get it.

SPOILER ahead A nuclear power plant was built in Winden, where the lives of the characters take place, the soil outside the town contains some kind of antimatter. A first time travel was possible and therefore someone travelled through time. That set things in motion that could obviously not be undone.

Now, because of the time travelling, all got stuck into some kind of loop. The characters numerous times had to make sure in every loop everything happened exactly the same way it did the first time (the natural time line got über disturbed) otherwise their very existence is challenged or maybe even they cease to exist.

So they travel and loop around the first 2 seasons. In season 3 a parallel universe gets introduced and pretty much everything gets explained. We know now, who is who and who did what and why. We learn the mistakes that led to a bunch of people leading a rather 'wrong' existence. All explained. Weird- yes. Thought provoking- all the time. Mindblowing- that's just about the limit.

In the end, last episode season 3, they try to make it right for the first time after looping around countless times before.

One can argue if one travels back in time, how can there be two of him now, but there is. Let's deal with that concept. Everytime Jonas travels back in time, he ceases to exist in the present, obviously, but meets his younger self in the past. Now you have two Jonasses. And so forth.

The writers did a tremendous job with the story line over the 3 seasons. I watched the 1st season 2018 and thought it was ok. When I realized 2020 there is a 2nd season and soon a 3rd, I rewatched the 1st and binge watched all 3 season in a relatively short time. I absolutely had to because once I was taken in by the story, it frequently blew my mind.

Give it a chance. If you don't like it after a few episodes just stop watching and do not review. Thank you.

Quintessence

If I could rate season 1 and 2 separately from the third thing - that would be great. Enjoyed 1 and 2 very much despite the obvious "bad physics" or "bad science". Season 3 is just a huge disappointment. More so because I was really intrigued and looking forward to it. Sad. And bad.
