All Forms of Art

I watched this, for the first time, at the movie theater and I enjoyed it, so I watched again recently. I think I can say it’s a genre that I like, good to relax for a while, forget about your own life and focus on what’s happening on the screen. I like the sense of adventure these kind of Disaster movies have, that can actually take your breath for a few seconds. Of course, this is a Hollywood movie and some of the imagery is… well, pretty exaggerated. We know that isn’t exactly real, or even totally possible, but at same time… it doesn’t really matter since you almost forget that whilst you’re watching the movie. The story of the protagonist is also quite interesting too and offers you a decent slice of entertainment. 

This movie is one of a particular kind that I usually refer to by: “the synopsis promised way more than the movie actually is or shows”. When reading the synopsis you might imagine something way more interesting than what you’ll find, and definitely, different. Watching this movie, you can spend a bit of time, relaxing and distracting yourself, but, it’s not a good movie, by any means. What bothered me the most, were some of the unreasonable things that you’d spot here and there. One of those, and probably the one that got most of my attention was the fact that the organization that supposedly was going to save them seemed so incredibly panicky and unorganized… We are not talking about a massive problem, at least not just yet, but rather, something that is confined to a closed space. They were (at least, that’s what they make you believe during the movie) professionals, so why the incredible panic? I found this to be really exaggerated. The end of the movie is exac

I just finished watching the second season of this show and I must admit that it was sort of a disappointment.  The show’s premise is somewhat interesting and the first season fascinated me, having binge-watched all of its episodes in a row. Despite the fact that the big conspiracy theory was a bit too much for me, it was a good show and I had a good time watching it. The second season though was very different… it actually bored me at some point. It had a lot of twists and turns, which is usually good, but in this case, it was, again, a little too far out there. The way that Dr. Oz solved the problem annoyed me, it was as rational as it was cold and I definitely didn’t like it. The end of this 2nd season somewhat speaks to the existence of a third one. I got curious about the last scene, but I’m not sure that they can do something interesting enough to recover from the disaster that, in my point of view, was this latest season.
