Netflix Original Jurassic World Chaos Theory - Season 1

 

                                        Season One

Genre: Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Dinosaur Action

Rating:  TV-Y7

Synopsis:  Years after escaping the dangers of Isla Nublar, Darius and friends are living among dinosaurs again - all while processing a devastating loss. 

***

I love Camp Creatous so I was excited to know what happened to the Nublar 6. This was not what I had in mind and I am not sure how I feel about it. 

There are a total of 10 Episodes each running around 24 minutes each. I found this to be a good balance, yet with more detailed storytelling it could have been extended but I see they wanted to keep the same pace. 

Each of the characters brought new life to their roles showing the maturity of the years that have passed since we last saw them. I was disappointed that they were not close in the first episode after what they had been through but they were quick to explain the why behind it so at least it was not dragged out. 

I liked the new look of each character having their ‘glow up’ but I felt that they let down Kenji in a big way. Though he still looked similar to his younger self I felt his personality and look that was set up in the original show was not the same here. He had so much more potential. 

Plenty of dinosaur action throughout that I was so pleased to see. And seeing a few old friends just hit the nostalgia button hard. 

It is hard to not give away spoilers when discussing one of the 6 that is missing throughout the entire season, but if you know who I mean then you have watched the show. 

When watching TV shows and Movies if they mention something about a character more than 3 times then it is not true. For example, if you say a character is ‘missing’, so many times that even the audience is eye-rolling, I’m sorry but we know at that point they are dead and not just missing. (looking at you Sophia from The Walking Dead). That said, it all turned around in the last few moments of the show, voiding the entire plot point. Such a waste of screen time. 

Best episode - The End of the Beginning Episode 10 - wrapped up everything nicely, with great action

Worst episode - That Night Episode 7 - felt like a filler while everyone was getting to another location. 

Final Thoughts

Overall I did like this show. It was so nice seeing everyone again and I was still rooting for them the entire time. For the most part, it felt like a good addition to the franchise. 

Score: 7 out 10. Re-watchability is low for me on this one, but I will watch season 2.

Always Keep Fighting. 

You Are Enough.

Teen Wolf: The Movie 2023

  Genre:  Drama, Fantasy, Mystery Rating:  TV-MA Synopsis:  A full moon rises in Beacon Hills, and with it a terrifying evil has emerged. The wolves are howling once again, calling for the return of Banshees, Werecoyotes, Hellhounds, Kitsunes, and every other shapeshifter in the night. But only a Werewolf like Scott McCall, no longer a teenager yet still an Alpha, can gather both new allies and reunite trusted friends to fight back against what could be the most powerful and deadliest enemy they’ve ever faced. Being a huge fan of the TV show I was looking forward to this as I was intrigued as to what my favorite supernatural beings were up to and what they would face.  Honestly, for the villain of the story, I was somewhat confused by the choice, especially with the fact that the character highly connected to it in many ways, was missing entirely. Now I know that not all actors want to return for a follow-up, whether it be a sequel or whatever, however with this...

Cabinet of Curiosities - 2022 Netflix Original

Image
  Genre:  Drama, Horror, Mystery Rating:  TV-MA Synopsis:  Bizarre nightmares unfold in eight tales of terror in a visually stunning, spine-tingling horror collection curated by Guillermo del Toro. As a huge fan of Guillermo del Toro, I had high hopes for this. The opening is visually stunning and the music reminds me of the nightmare before Christmas.  There are some huge stars present and regardless of the story, I personally think everyone did an incredible job showing each character. The problem with a collection of short stories, such as this, is you run into a time problem. Some stories did not get enough time, while others wasted time on things that did not progress fast enough for the time allotted.  Here is a quick breakdown of my thoughts for each episode.  Lot 36 - A very slow start and quick end. Lots of build up very little reward, but the monster was cool. 6 out of 10. Graveyard Rats - Very cool visuals, great story, and straight to th...

Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous - Season 5 - Netflix Original

Image
Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure, Family, Science Fiction Rating: TV PG Synopsis: Teens attending an adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar must band together to survive when dinosaurs wreak havoc on the island. Previous seasons do need to be watched to understand the relationships between the group and what they've been through so far.  If you've seen the Jurassic World movies, including the most recent it will add some missing details but it's not necessary to watch them before.  I would recommend watching the Jurassic World Dominion movie before the last episode so that some revelations during the show will make sense and will avoid spoilers if you haven't seen the movie.  Season 5 is the last season so it had high expectations to finish with a bang and wrap up any loose ends. With a total of  12 episodes, this time around I did think it was the perfect amount, with the exception of Episode 5 which I thought was pretty much a filler.  Worse: ...
