Mercy - 2026

 


Genre: Science fiction, Thriller, Drama, Suspenseful

Rating:  PG-13

Synopsis: In the near future, an advanced AI judge tells a captive detective that he's on trial for the murder of his wife. If he fails to prove his innocence within 90 minutes, he'll be executed on the spot.

***

From the trailer I was intrigued about the premise of this movie, though honestly I am a little on the Terminator side of the AI discussion. 

Each actor did great with the material they were presented with. Chris Pratt as Det. Christopher "Chris" Raven is semi likeable and plays the part perfectly. You can feel the distress and emotion as the story progresses. Rebecca Ferguson as Judge Maddox is great as the AI judge.  

Right off the bat I could not help but compare this movie to the Tome Cruise movie, Minority Report. Very similar vibes in a good way. Though out of the two I would prefer Minority Report. 

The atmosphere and AI details were beatuiful to see on screen. Sadly the pacing was all over the place. It was a little slow in the beginning, then when it finally started getting going, everything happened all at once and it ended. The ending definiately felt rushed. 

There was enough mystery to keep my husband and I interested until the end, though we both felt it needed an additional wrap up scene or two to round it out. 

Final Thoughts

Overall we liked it but both agreed it was a one and done. As mentioned above Minority Report work in a similar way and was way more our style so we'd prefer that one if given a choice between the two. Love Chris Pratt and Rebecca Ferguson but this one was just good. Not great. 

Score: 7 out of 10. Recommend as a one time but not a redo.

Always Keep Fighting. 

You Are Enough.

Arthur Christmas - 2011

Image
  Genre:   Family, Comedy Rating:   PG  Synopsis: Santa and his elite elf team use spy-like stunts to deliver billions of presents to all the world's children in one incredible night. But a child is missed! Now it is up to Santa's youngest son Arthur to fix this slip-up and make good on the promise of Christmas. *** The casting in this movie was perfect. The main character of Arthur is played beautifully by James McAvoy and while the rest of the star-studded cast brought theirs to life with ease, I can not praise James enough. The childlike wonder in Arthur makes you easily root for him and James encapsulates his character perfectly.  Within the first few minutes of the movie, you get a complete sense of who each character is and how they interact with each other. Bad or good.  The storyline is simple and heartwarming with the right amount of action and jokes to keep you interested even after the credits roll. The animation is smooth and will be sure t...

Love, Death + Robots - Volume 3

Image
  Netflix Original - No copyright intended Genre : Science fiction TV, TV thriller, TV horror Rating: TV MA After the glorious success of the last volume, I was hoping and praying that this would live up to the hype. Admittedly I was disappointed again seeing it was only 9 episodes, however, it did not disappoint.  Three Robots: Exit Strategies = 4 out of 10 Bad Travelling = 8 out of 10 The Very Pulse of the Machine = 7 out of 10 Night of the Mini Dead = 7 out of 10 Kill Team Kill = 8 out of 10 Swarm = 6 out of 10 Mason's Rats = 6 out of 10 In Vaulted Halls Entombed = 8.5 out of 10 Jibaro = 7 out of 10 Final Thoughts This volume was filled with crazy journeys, incredible visual effects, and just insane situations. This volume was filled with some amazing additions and others, while gorgeous and well-acted, were just hard to understand and keep up with. My favorite hands down were In Vaulted Halls Entombed. If you watch it you'll understand why. I want either a video game or a...

Netflix Original Jurassic World Chaos Theory - Season 3

Image
  Genre:  Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi, Dinosaur Action Rating:   TV-Y7 Synopsis:   The Nublar Five finds themselves in Italy, near the border, after a plane crash involving a cargo dinosaur and a familiar face, while coming to terms with Brooklyn's actions.  *** After the end of season 2 I was not looking forward to this season, but I am so glad I gave it a chance. The voice actors did a great job at continuing their growth and embodying their characters very well. Dealing with the aftermath of season 2 there is a lot of talking and as my hubby pointed out, a lot of teen angst, even though I'm pretty sure the characters are supposed to be in their early twenties. I did defend them on this front as the situations they were dealing with would throw off people much older. Just keep in mind a lot of talking. With all the storylines and talking, this does leave room for a few dinosaurs but not enough in my opinion. Though I did appreciate another connection to the...
