I love the versatility of Korean dramas. From love to fantasy, to action/thriller, to horror. Sweet Home K-drama is an intense dark thriller. The storyline revolves around the residents of an apartment who strangely start turning into gruesome and hideous monsters. Everyone thrown into a state of confusion must find a way to survive. This movie centers on the power of unity, strength and courage. This series is divided into 3 adrenaline-pumping seasons.

Plot Overview:

The first scene opened on a teenager who feels defeated in life and is suicidal, after a tragic accident takes the lives of members of his family. This teenager is played by Song Kang, who portrayed the character of Cha Hyun-soo. His decision to commit suicide was interrupted by screams from the apartment he just parked into—Green Home Apartment. A monstrous outbreak had begun with people infected with this virus slowly turning into monsters, which embodied their deepest desires or regrets. Panic and confusion was seen on the faces of the residents of the Apartment. Another scene opened with the city up in flames, streets so empty and full of monsters and infectees in hiding. Once infected by this virus, they were caused to transform into monstrous creatures. This virus spread so fast and made them aggressive, violent, and deformed monsters.

With this development, everyone teamed up to ensure the safety of one another, with the leader Lee Do-hyun who portrayed the character of Lee Eun-Hyuk. Lee Eun-Hyuk was the leader of the survivors of Green Apartment residents who selflessly prioritized their safety. People started getting infected and became grotesque monsters. The residents/survivors and the leader, while together in their hiding; set up instruments and all to protect themselves from harm. Although anyone who was infected tried resisting the virus with the will to survive.

As days which looked like centuries passed by, people started loosing their lives more and more, to this unfortunate incident. Food became scarce, people became more selfish with a burning will to survive.

Season 1 closed with the very few survivors of Green Home taken to a safer place, under military supervision in exchange for Cha Hyun-Soo who was already an infectee. Season 1 ended on a bitter note—Eun-Hyuk(the leader) discovered he was an infectee, he disappeared promising his sister(Lee Eun-yu) he would return but never did. He did this to prevent harming the survivors.

Seo Yi-kyung who starred as Lee Si-yong lost her fiancé. Seo Yi-kyeong who was a firefighter before this incident lost her fiancé to this unimaginable incident(her fiancé had turned into a monster). Although heartbroken, she emerged a survivor.

Season 2 Plot Overview:

The season 2 expands from the horror from season 1. In this season, focus was moved from the smaller space of Green Home Apartment to a wider world with more people getting infected with each passing day, and killed. More notable characters were added in season 2 making the movie series even more intriguing and fascinating.

There was of course an antagonist in this drama who used his monstrous powers for his personal gain. He was an infectee also; but a special infectee. In this K-drama, Special Infectees referred to Neo-humans who do not succumb completely to the virus infection. You could say they are half-humans, half-monsters that used their power for either protection or destruction.

Season 3 Overview: This series continued from the happenings of season 2 which entailed battles fought for survival admist the epidemic. Eun-Hyuk also made a come-back as a Neo-human in season 3. He alongside Cha Hyun-soo teamed up to eradicate the monsters and unrepentant Neo humans.

This series ended with Neo humans coexisting with humans after eradicating the monsters and unrepentant/wicked Neo-humans.

Character review/Rating:

Song Kang delivered his role richly which I commend him for. I admire him a lot.

Lee Do-Hyun left me awed, he's so versatile. He also starred in Korean dramas like "The glory” and others. Any movie he stars in is always a blockbuster.

I admired deeply the courage and strength of Seo Yi-Kyeong and Lee Eun-Yu who starred as Lee Si-young Seo Go Min-si respectively.

Critics: Although the series was horror-thriller based, i felt it would have been more spicy if romance was added to it(between Hyun-soo and Eun-Yu), because of how deeply Eun-Yu cared for him. Also the end of the series(season 3) felt somewhat vague, it wasn’t concluded as well as i expected it to, it lacked clarity.

It was very scary. Imagine watching a monster jump out from nowhere or talking to someone and he suddenly turns into a monster right there and then. My adrenaline raced throughout "Sweet Home" series.

I would definitely recommend it and would be giving it a 4.5 over 5 rating. It's available to watch on Netflix, with subtitles.

En un mundo de asesinos descubierto por las cuatro películas que conforman la franquicia de "John Wick", surge "Ballerina", el nuevo spin-off de esta franquicia que relata una historia en donde la venganza de una joven mujer llamada "Eve Macarro"; ella siendo niña vio morir a su padre lo cual le genero un gran odio que la llevó hacia la organización Ruska Roma, lugar en donde recibiría un duro entretenimiento para convertirse en un arma letal y así tener la fuerza y agilidad para cumplir su merecida su promesa; esa elección no solo la llevará a enfrentarse con despiadados asesinos, sino también a un mundo regido por muchas reglas.

In a world of assassins revealed by the four films that make up the John Wick franchise, comes Ballerina, the new spin-off of this franchise that tells the story of the revenge of a young woman named Eve Macarro. As a child, she witnessed her father's death, which instilled in her a deep hatred that led her to join the Ruska Roma organization, where she would undergo rigorous training to become a lethal weapon, gaining the strength and agility needed to fulfill her long-awaited promise. This choice will not only pit her against ruthless assassins but also immerse her in a world governed by many rules.

Este film es también conocido como "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina" contó con la elección de Len Wiseman como director, lo cual me causó preocupación porque considero que en ese rol cuenta con tan solo un buen trabajo, me refiero a "Underworld" (2003) y es por eso que mis expectativas era bastante bajas, ya que también existían rumores sobre reacciones poco convincentes en las pruebas realizas con ciertas audiencias, justamente eso originó reshoots los cuales estuvieron realizados por Chad Stahelski, director, guionista, productor y creador de la franquicia, inmediatamente tuve la noción de que él no dejaría fallar este film y así fue. "Ballerina" cuenta con una duración de dos horas y en donde pienso que el primer acto es dirigido por Len y tanto el segundo como el tercero, lo completa Chad; justamente la hora con veinte minutos finales, es suficiente para observar el cambio radical de la producción, ya que en ese tiempo ofrece excelentes escenas de acción que hacen brillar a su protagonista; el talento de Chad es muy evidente, ya que revive al personaje principal que demuestra fuerza y actitud al realizar coreografías de manera destacable, no solo en combates mano a mano, sino en los enfrentamientos con armas.

El guion escrito por Shay Hatten, es bastante genérico, es simple y también aburrido; los personajes nuevos y los ya conocidos no ofrecen absolutamente nada por los pobres diálogos; a pesar de no haberme gustado el guion, de igual manera existe elementos positivos, el cual tiene que ver con que la narrativa es desde el punto de vista de una mujer que está enfocada en la venganza y que le es difícil sentir empatía con todo lo que le rodea, en eso creo que es algo que se puede desarrollar mejor en algún otro film basado en este nuevo personaje. Los diálogos excesivos y forzados en el primer acto, junto a la dirección de Weisman en la primera media hora de metraje, son lo que no me ha gustado de esta película.

This film, also known as "From the World of John Wick: Ballerina," featured ** Len Wiseman** as director, which caused me concern because I consider that he has only one good work in that role, I am referring to "Underworld" (2003), and that is why my expectations were quite low, since there were also rumors about unconvincing reactions in the tests carried out with certain audiences, which led to reshoots that were carried out by ** Chad Stahelski**, director, screenwriter, producer, and creator of the franchise. I immediately had the feeling that he would not let this film fail, and that's how it turned out. "Ballerina" is two hours long, and I think the first act is directed by Len and the second and third acts are completed by Chad. The final hour and twenty minutes are enough to see the radical change in the production, as it offers excellent action scenes that make the protagonist shine. Chad's talent is very evident, as he revives the main character, who demonstrates strength and attitude by performing remarkable choreography, not only in hand-to-hand combat but also in gunfights.

The script written by Shay Hatten is quite generic, simple, and also boring; the new and familiar characters offer absolutely nothing due to the poor dialogue; Despite not liking the script, there are still positive elements, which have to do with the fact that the narrative is from the point of view of a woman who is focused on revenge and finds it difficult to empathize with everything around her. I think this is something that could be developed better in another film based on this new character. The excessive and forced dialogue in the first act, along with Weisman's direction in the first half hour of the film, are what I didn't like about this movie.

No pienso en ser exigente con la actuación de Ana de Armas en su interpretación de "Eve" y es que su personaje no tiene permitido demostrar otro aspecto, sino que es el de cumplir su venganza; su personaje no demuestra vulnerabilidad, pero si el ímpetu de querer sobrepasar cualquier regla o autoridad para realizar su cometido, eso me ha gustado en la manera en como se escribió el personaje y que Ana hace todo lo posible para plasmar en la pantalla, el problema es que de igual manera, pienso que es víctima por lo malo que es el guion, aunque su compromiso como actriz en su primer y completo protagonismo en un film de acción, es algo de admirar porque ella realiza todas sus escenas de combate.

I don't think I'm being too harsh on Ana de Armas' performance as Eve, because her character isn't allowed to show any other side to herself other than her desire for revenge. Her character doesn't show any vulnerability, but she does show a determination to break any rules or defy any authority in order to achieve her goal. I liked the way the character was written and how Ana does her best to bring it to life on screen. The problem is that I also think she is a victim of the poor script, although her commitment as an actress in her first leading role in an action film is something to be admired because she performs all her own fight scenes.

Mentiría si digo que disfruté por completo de Ballerina, pero existe fallas que me hicieron creer que se estuvo cerca de tener un fracaso para esta franquicia; en mi opinión hizo falta minutos para desarrollar mejor la historia, no solo de su protagonista, sino también de otros personajes secundarios y esto me hace pensar en el tiempo perdido en las escenas filmadas para ofrecer un contexto o justificar a esta historia que es parte del mundo creado desde John Wick, lo cual posiblemente se pudo hacer mejor sin afectar el desarrollo de la película, a pesar de todo lo dicho, de igual manera celebro la decisión de salvar esta película al ofrecer a Chad las riendas de este proyecto, lo que fue muy acertado y me hace pensar que posiblemente no se esté tomando buenas decisiones con respecto a que directores y escritores sean parte de este ya gran franquicia de acción. Este segundo spin-off no fue perfecto, pero espero que puedan aprender de los errores para realizar producciones de calidad en los próximos a estrenar, para así llegar a lo que espero sea el final de John Wick cuando se estrene el quinto film. 

I would be lying if I said I thoroughly enjoyed Ballerina, but there are flaws that made me believe it was close to being a failure for this franchise. in my opinion, it lacked the time needed to better develop the story, not only of its protagonist but also of other secondary characters, and this makes me think of the time wasted in scenes filmed to provide context or justify this story that is part of the world created by John Wick, which could possibly have been done better without affecting the development of the film. Despite all that has been said, I still applaud the decision to save this film by giving Chad the reins of this project, which was very wise and makes me think that perhaps the right decisions are not being made regarding which directors and writers are part of this already great action franchise. This second spin-off was not perfect, but I hope they can learn from their mistakes to produce quality films in the future, so that we can reach what I hope will be the end of John Wick when the fifth film is released.

Hello Anime Lovers 👋🏻, I hope you are all well, I am very well too. Today I will review an anime with you called Moriarty the Patriot.

Main Story

By the end of the 19th century, Great Britain had become the greatest empire the world had ever seen. They controlled 25% of the world. But only 3% of Britain's people owned all the wealth, and the remaining 97% lived below the poverty line. The rich brutally oppressed the poor, but the law helped the rich.

William James Moriarty is the second son of an aristocratic landowner family, and he cannot tolerate this division in society, the oppression and oppression of the rich by the poor. He lives like eight or ten landlords during the day, but at night he does his planned work. He punishes the landlords or people from the aristocratic family who oppress the poor. He helps the poor people who want revenge, and he makes them commit crimes in such a way that it becomes a Perfect Crime and James himself can be safe.

His target is to destroy and reorganize the British social system where the poor and the rich can live together with equal rights. With this goal, he kills and makes many landlords. Will the British intelligence agency also sit by?

They contact Sherlock Holmes. The cat-and-mouse game between Sherlock Holmes and James Moriarty begins. Will James be able to succeed in his goal? Or will he be caught by Sherlock before that? If you want to know, you can watch this wonderful anime.

Personal Opinion

Moriarty the Patriot anime was good for one season. The story is also complete. It keeps the thrill going from beginning to end. Sometimes it feels like Moriarty will be caught. There is nothing boring in the story. There is no forced romance or any fanservice.

It is basically made about the villain Moriarty of the popular detective series Sherlock Holmes. However, Moriarty is the hero here. Some episodes are very emotional and some episodes are full of violence. You won't think it's a Shounen Show when you watch the show. Even before writing the review, I knew it was Seinen. The story is deep. But it's boring. The ending is completely happy. I was expecting a sad ending, but the ending is good. Sherlock Holmes didn't follow the novel, it gave a different ending.

Characters

I like the characters in this anime very much. But I like Moriarty the most. Those who like genius heroes will like him. He is a genius, he can control people easily. He plans after such a terrible plan, which is amazing. You will get a lot of Light Yagami Vibe. His appearance is similar to Makshima Shougo, the main villain of Psychopass anime, and his actions are also similar.

I also like Sherlock Holmes, Sherlock and Moriarty's mind battles were excellent, but Sherlock was always one step behind, this thing feels a little bad. Along with Albert, Lewis Moriarty, Sebas, Watson James Bond also seem good. They have given a good backstory to everyone in this short episode.

Animation

Its animation is excellent. It fully retains the 19th century vibe. It beautifully portrays the scenes of violence. Moreover, the animation of the action scenes, the design of the characters were all good.

Music

Both the opening and ending songs were good. The BGMs were also excellent. They gave beautiful BGM in the serious scenes which is nice.

Watch Order

After watching Part 1 and Part 2, you must watch the OVAs.

You can find all the episodes of Moriarty the Patriot on Youtube's Muse Asia Channel. I would request you to watch it from there, since you can watch it legally.

So if you have time, watch this short Anime.

The phrase “head of state” has never really sat well with me because in my part of the world the phrase is used more often to refer to individuals with big heads, contrary to the actual legal meaning. So, naturally, I had a bias towards seeing this movie. However, the person who recommended the film(because I saw it initially and ignored the hell out of it) is a very trusted individual. Moreover, what could possibly go wrong?

These few weeks, I've been on a roll with action movies and every preceding action film I see always seems better than the previous one. The movie “Heads of States” stayed true to this pattern and because of that, here is a review of the film.

About The Movie

Heads of State is an action comedy film which brings together an unlikely duo Idris Elba and John Cena. The movie follows the story of the president of the United States and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom who have to work together despite their mutual loathing of each other. In a bid to demonstrate unity, they decide to travel together aboard Air Force One.

Air force is shot down by a Russian super-criminal whose aim is to kill both the president and the prime minister. Amidst the turbulence they both manage to survive and now they must find a way to return safely to the white house and while at it, find the inside man who is relaying all the intel and their motif behind it all.

Released on the 2nd of July, 2025 and directed by Ilya Naishuller, this movie has a runtime of 1 hour and 54 minutes. It stars actors like Priyanka Chopra, John Cena, Idris Elba. Jack Quaid and Paddy Considine. All of whom are phenomenal actors.

My Opinions

This film’s comedy dynamic is fueled by the mismatched duo, with Idris Elba bringing his signature wit and sarcasm, while John Cena brings a humorously over the top action hero bravado. The chemistry between the two lead actors is undeniable as they play off each other’s strengths and weaknesses perfectly. Priyanka Chopra also shines as she embodies a feisty MI6 agent, bringing an alluring kind of energy to the movie.

The characters are all phenomical, including the antagonist. The antagonist plays a major role as he is always one step ahead, keeping viewers on their tippy toes. I particularly enjoyed the antagonist’s acting as he fit exceptionally into the ‘bad guy’ role.

Although this action film is enjoyable, I couldn't help but notice the lack of depth in the storyline. The plot is fairly straightforward and anyone with a good sense of reasoning can see the beginning from the end. This means the film lacks the element of surprise.

My favourite scene in this movie featured Jack Quaid. After seeing the series ‘The Boys’, I grew a bit fond of this particular actor courtesy of his goody-two shoes role in that series but seeing him embody an entirely different character is quite astonishing. In this scene, he is tasked with protecting the president and the prime minister once they arrive at the ‘safe house’. However, shortly after they arrive, their location is compromised and they need to get out alive. Although things don't really go as planned, Quaid jumps in to save the day, enabling the duo to escape.

Recommendations and Ratings

The movie's quirky and lighthearted tone, combined with phenomenal characters and cinematography makes it an entertaining ride. I'll give it a solid 8.0/10 rating.

If you're up for an entertaining ride, then “Heads of States” is a good starting point.

LIEBE🤍

I finally got around to watching Bring Her Back (2025) a very very disturbing movie tbh, the second movie from the Philippou brothers after their breakout hit Talk to Me (2022) and let me tell you this thing is a completely different beast than what I was expecting, they really put the bar higher. Going into this one I was pretty pumped because Talk to Me was such a fun movie to watch and not just scary, it had all these creepy moments but still felt like something you could enjoy without been tense all the time, you know what I mean. But Bring Her Back takes a much more serious approach to horror, its like the brothers decided to show us they could do more than just spooky fun times, they wanted to prove they could make something that would stick with you long after you watch the movie and terrorize your mindthe kind of movies that gives you a hard time to sleep. The movie follows these two step siblings Andy and Piper who end up in foster care after their dad dies in this really messed up shower accident and they get placed with this woman Laura who seems nice enough at first but obviously has some serious issues going on, she is the scare one right from the start, gave me that vibe you just cant trust her. What starts as a slow character study turns into this really disturbing psychological horror that deals with grief, loss and how far someone will go to bring back what they have lost, the title pretty much gives that away but the execution is what makes it work. The first half hour is all about building these relationships and getting to know these characters, which some people might find slow but I think its necessary for what comes later because when this movie decides to get nasty it really goes for it.

Rottentomatoes Rating

The thing that really impressed me about this movie is how the Philippou brothers managed to create something that feels completely different from Talk to Me while still maintaining their signature style. Sally Hawkins plays Laura the foster mother and she is absolutist incredible in this role, she manages to be sympathetic and terrifying at the same time which is not easy, you can see the desperation in her eyes when she talks about her dead daughter Kathy who drowned in the backyard pool and since then have been dry to the bone. The way she manipulates these kids is so subtle at first, like when she lies about little things or excludes Andy from family photos but it builds into this really sinister campaign to get rid of him so she can keep Piper for her twisted ritual. Billy Barrett who plays Andy does a great job as the protective older brother who is dealing with his own trauma from an abusive father and Sora Wong as Piper brings this vulnerability to the role that makes you really care about what happens to her. The performances across the board are solid, even the kid playing Oliver who doesn't speak for most of the movie manages to be creepy as hell just through his physicality and those dead eyes. What really works about the character development is how everyone is dealing with grief in their own way, Andy is trying to protect his sister from more pain, Piper is adjusting to a new life without her dad and Laura is so consumed by losing her daughter that she's willing to do anything to get her back. The movie takes its time establishing these relationships because it needs you to care about these people before it starts putting them through absolute hell, and trust me when I say this movie puts its characters through some serious shit.

When Bring Her Back finally decides to show its true colors, it becomes this really disturbing exploration of how grief can turn someone into a monster. The whole ritual aspect involves this creepy Russian video that Laura found somewhere and without spoiling too much lets just say it involves possession, reanimation and some really gross practical effects that will make you twist a bit and close an eye while watching in your seat. The kid playing Oliver starts eating everything in sight including some things that will make you want to look away and the prosthetics work is so good that it looks painfully real. Danny and Michael Philippou know how to make you uncomfortable, they let the camera focus on these disturbing images just long enough to really get under your skin, its not just shock value though because everything lift up the story about how far Laura will go to hear her daughter call her mom again. The gore effects are very good, way more brutal than anything in Talk to Me, not tryning to compare them because this movie is something more serious, they use practical effects that look so convincing you will feel pain watching some of these scenes. There is this whole mythology around the ritual that involves circles and specific death conditions, Laura has to recreate how her daughter died and the possessed Oliver has to consume the corpse and then transfer the soul into the new body. Its fucked up but it makes "sense" within the world they have created and the fact that Laura is following this like a YouTube tutorial adds this dark ish comic element to the whole ritual, its ridiculous to think now days how the word "tutorial" has basically been coin by YouTube or become a synomym of YouTube Video. The visual effects team deserves major props because some of the stuff they show is genuinely hard to watch, especially when Oliver starts chewing on knives and breaking his teeth, that scene alone will make you cringe so hard you will feel it in your own mouth.

Source

After the first half of the movie is where things really go off the rails and I mean that in the best possible way because this movie earns its brutal ending through everything that happens before, the climax involves a car accident that comes out of nowhere that remind me a lot of Talk To Me ending like if they Philippou brothers wanted to add a trade mark, literally and then we get this really intense chase sequence where Piper has to go through this house while being hunted by Laura. The fact that Piper is vision impaired adds this extra layer of tension because she can't see the horrible things happening around her, she is walking through this nightmare completely unaware of how bad things have gotten. When Andy gets killed its devastating because we have spent the whole movie watching him try to protect his sister and then suddenly he is gone and Piper on her own. The ending is very emotional for a horror movie, when Piper calls Laura mom it breaks something in her and she finally realizes what she has become, its this moment of clarity that comes too late to save anyone but at least provides some kind of resolution, really fucked up. The final scene with Laura holding her daughter's corpse in the pool is disturbing, its like she finally gets to say goodbye properly even though she is dying in the process, I know some people might find the ending too cheese but I think it fits the tone of the movie perfectly, this isn't a story about good triumphing over evil, its about how grief can destroy everything in its path including the person experiencing it, every other mayor character on the movie was going through their own levels of trauma.

I had been sitting on this movie for a few days and this was the second attempt to watch it because the first time it really freak me out, its not scary its just Laura and Oliver, her smile, his dead eyes, I think the Philippou brothers have created something really special here, its not going to be for everyone because its so mess up and emotionally heavy but if you're looking for horror that actually has some meaning and not just cheap scares and possessions then this movie is worth watching, just sit tight and hold on. The movie works on multiple levels, its a effective psychological thriller, a family drama about loss and protection, and a really gnarly body horror movie all rolled into one package. Sally Hawkins gives what might be the best performance in a horror movie this year but sadly this is not a so much popular movie, she makes Laura sympathetic even when she's doing terrible things and that is not easy to pull off. The practical effects are some of the best I have seen recently, they are gross and disturbing but they add to the story instead of just being there for shock value. My only real complaint is that there was not much context about how Andy and Piper became brothers, why their dad died, probably if they have added more context to it, it takes a while to get going and some of the character development feels a little slow but once it finds its rhythm it never lets up its like when you think the movie got creepy enough it finds ways to get even more creepy. I really enjoy how even on dark scenes the lighting was awesome and lets you watch exactly whats happening even when its showing you horrible things, and the sound is very clear too especially considering how important audio is for Piper's character. This is definitely a movie that will give you troubles to sleep after you are done watching it, its the kind of horror that stays with you. If you loved Talk to Me then you should definitely check this out, just be prepared for something much darker and more serious than what you might be expecting, I give Bring Her Back a solid 8/10, its not perfect but its a really strong follow up that proves the Philippou brothers are the real deal when it comes to horror movies.

Hello! 💙

Cuando en el subtítulo esta película le pusieron renace yo creo que no se lo pensaron muy bien, es una película que si viene siendo fanática de las películas de Jurassic park Jurassic world esta película puede quedarte de ver en muchos aspectos No creo que deje de ser entretenida pero creo que La pondría por debajo de dominion al menos en mi opinión, y sé que para muchos puede ser polémico porque dominion a mucha gente no le gustó pero en mi caso dominion dentro de lo flojo que pudo ser el guión cumple con cerrar en cierto modo de manera épica la franquicia, Y sí es un producto entretenido a la par de rápidos y furiosos Pero sigue siendo un producto entretenido a la par de rápidos y furiosos Pero sigue siendo un producto entretenido esta película se toma como su tiempo para comenzar intentando como tener referencias al libro y a la primera película Jurassic park pero se queda muy a medio camino, con esto quiero decir que literalmente tardan media hora en Que aparezca el primer dinosaurio que es el mosasaurio detalle no es un dinosaurio realmente pueden investigarlo, Y eso es otra cosa esta película que tenemos un palentólogo que dice que este es un dinosaurio este también y resulta que muchos en realidad ni siquiera están catalogados de esta manera sé que es un detalle algo nerd de decir pero le resta como importancia al guión que quieren llevar en esta nueva entrega.

When in the subtitle of this movie they called it reborn I think they did not think about it very well, it is a movie that if you are a fan of the Jurassic park Jurassic world movies this movie can remain to see in many aspects I do not think it is not entertaining but I think I would put it below dominion at least in my opinion, and I know that for many it can be controversial because many people did not like dominion but in my case dominion within the weak that could be the script fulfills to close in some way in an epic way the franchise, And yes it is an entertaining product on par with fast and furious But it's still an entertaining product on par with fast and furious But it's still an entertaining product this movie takes like its time to get started trying to like have references to the book and the first Jurassic park movie but it falls way short, by this I mean they literally take half an hour for the first dinosaur to appear which is the mosasaur detail is not a dinosaur they can really investigate it, And that is another thing this movie we have a palentologist who says this is a dinosaur this too and it turns out that many actually are not even cataloged in this way I know it is a somewhat nerdy detail to say but it detracts as importance to the script they want to bring in this new installment.

Pero por el lado positivo si se anima a ver esta película en 4dx creo que si van a tener un punto a su favor porque si te llega a ser como más inmersiva dentro de la trama, Y sí es verdad no salen tantos momentos con dinosaurios por una película de dinosaurios pero los momentos que salen Si llegan a brillar bastante si es verdad que tienen algo de tensión Hay momentos en los cuales la atención se corta con humor pero no un humor Bueno si un humor barato que la cual me parece muy extraño la verdad es que Jurassic también había momentos de humor pero en los momentos que tenía que ser seria era seria, aquí la verdad es que la película se siente como un producto extraño algo apresurado y se le nota en ciertos puntos especialmente en el guión creo que el efecto especiales están bien cumplen con ser buenos como siempre ha sido esta franquicia pero sí es verdad que a nivel de guión queda mucho de ver creo que las actuaciones no sobresalen pero no por nada malo sino que no terminan de tener un desarrollo concreto, y los personajes terminan haciendo clichés típicos de películas de Hollywood que bueno esto no debería ser un peso mayor Pero la verdad es que no termina de sorprenderte de todo.

But on the positive side if you are encouraged to see this movie in 4dx I think if you are going to have a point in your favor because if you get to be more immersive in the plot, And yes it is true that there are not so many moments with dinosaurs for a dinosaur movie but the moments that come out if they get to shine enough if it is true that they have some tension There are moments in which the attention is cut with humor but not a humor Well if a cheap humor which seems very strange to me the truth is that Jurassic also had moments of humor but in the moments that had to be serious was serious, here the truth is that the film feels like a strange product something rushed and it shows at certain points especially in the script I think the special effects are well meet to be good as has always been this franchise but it is true that the script level is much to see I think the performances do not stand out but not for anything bad but do not end up having a concrete development, and the characters end up doing typical clichés of Hollywood movies that well this should not be a major burden But the truth is that it does not end up surprising you at all.

Algo que sí puedo decir como fanática que me molestó bastante fue que el dinosaurio mutante que literalmente lo ponen en todos los trailers y los afiches y publicidad la película solo sale 5 minutos al final literalmente sale 10 segundos al principio y 5 minutos al final O sea no termine de tener un impacto real en la película Y esto no debería ser algo importante si no fuera porque lo pusieron en las policías de la película y obviamente uno como espectador le gustaría ver mucho más de este personaje pero no llega a ser el caso la verdad es que lo dejaron muy de por medio te lanzan ciertos toques y ciertas puntadas hacia una próxima entrega que por lo visto como le estoy yendo financieramente a esta franquicia puede que salga otra película más que lleve a una nueva trilogía, Pero si son muy fanáticos de la franquicia de Jurassic park Jurassic world dellen una oportunidad esta película creo que les puede llegar a entretener el gran problema es ir con expectativas tal vez demasiado altas A ver esta película y simplemente deben verla como un producto más de este universo que han estado construyendo, y como les dije tiene la oportunidad de hablar en 4dx les va a hacer un gran favor porque si se van a sentir como más inmersos dentro de la trama.

Something that I can say as a fan that bothered me a lot was that the mutant dinosaur that they literally put in all the trailers and posters and advertising the film only comes out 5 minutes at the end literally comes out 10 seconds at the beginning and 5 minutes at the end I mean not end up having a real impact on the film And this should not be something important if it were not because they put it in the cops of the film and obviously one as a viewer would like to see much more of this character but it does not come to be the case. They put him in the cops of the movie and obviously as a viewer you would like to see a lot more of this character but it's not the case the truth is that they left him very much in the middle they throw certain touches and certain stitches towards a next installment that apparently as I'm doing financially this franchise may come out another movie that will lead to a new trilogy, But if you are a big fan of the Jurassic park Jurassic world franchise give this movie a chance, I think it can entertain you, the big problem is to go with expectations maybe too high to see this movie and you should simply see it as another product of this universe that they have been building, and as I said it has the opportunity to speak in 4dx it will do you a big favor because if you are going to feel more immersed in the plot.

¡Hasta la próxima, un abrazo!

La serie resulta realista porque no pretende romantizar o exaltar la violencia y la venganza de ninguna manera, tan solo muestra cuales son las consecuencias sociales, físicas, morales y psicológicas de esa decisión. Al mismo tiempo nos muestra las luchas sociales, las guerras de clases y la vida en general desde diferentes puntos de vista, comenzando por los pobres y marginados (Útiles para la alta sociedad pero al mismo tiempo desechables) pasando por las prostitutas quienes pueden resultar grandes espías, hasta llegar a los señores feudales cuya lealtad puede cambiar según su conveniencia, y es que está ambientada en el período Edo, uno lleno de cambios políticos y sociales.

También la serie te muestra que cuando tienes un objetivo muy definido en tu vida nada ni nadie puede detenerte, ni siquiera alguna discapacidad, condición o prejuicios, por ejemplo a Mizu no la detuvo el hecho de ser mujer, buscó la forma de salir adelante para ganarse el respeto, a ella no la caracteriza su fuerza física sino sus habilidades con la espada, su agilidad y rapidez, pero mi personaje favorito es Ringo porque además de ser determinado es muy noble y tiene altos códigos morales y éticos, a él lo motivan sus ganas de ser mejor cada día, y jamás se ha sentido incapaz por el hecho de no tener manos, de hecho él mismo fabricó herramientas que usa a modo de "prótesis" y que sirven para distintos propósitos.

Y bueno, gente, esto ha sido todo por el post de hoy, espero que les haya gustado. Muchas gracias como siempre por apoyar mi trabajo, le doy la bienvenida a los nuevos lectores, les quiero mucho a todos, les envío un abrazo y ya nos encontraremos en otro post

The Survivor (S01E10)

Airdate: November 10th 1973

Written by: Stephen Kandel Directed by: Hal Sutherland

Running Time: 22 minutes

Stephen Kandel’s contributions to Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS) were neither the most acclaimed nor the most pivotal, yet his legacy within the franchise is indelibly tied to two episodes: Mudd’s Women and I, Mudd, both featuring the irredeemable con artist Harcourt Fenton Mudd. Played with magnetic malice by Roger C. Carmel, this character became one of TOS’s most enduring rogues, embodying the series’ early penchant for 1960s camp and witty absurdity. Though neither episode is universally regarded as among the series’ finest, their popularity at the time stemmed from their unapologetic embrace of kitsch, their humorous dialogue, and Carmel’s virtuosic performance. Mudd’s Passion, the third Mudd-centric episode from Kandel, originally conceived as Deep Mudd for the live-action series but abandoned due to budget constraints and logistical chaos, resurfaced in Star Trek: The Animated Series ( TAS). This animated revival, while flawed, offers a curious blend of nostalgia and creative ambition, capturing both the charm and limitations of its era.

Kandel’s initial attempt to revisit Mudd in Deep Mudd for TOS was stymied by the show’s declining resources and the infamous backstage turmoil of its final season. However, the animated series provided a second chance. Produced during a transitional period for the franchise, TAS allowed writers to experiment with concepts that live-action practicality had previously ruled out. Mudd’s Passion thus became a vehicle for Kandel to revisit his beloved antihero, with Carmel reprising his role. The episode’s premise sees the Enterprise dispatched to the mining colony Motherlode to apprehend Mudd, who is once again perpetrating a scheme—this time, selling counterfeit “love crystals” to desperate miners. When the scam unravels and Mudd gets brought to Enterprise, Mudd’s trademark charm enables him to escape custody, luring Nurse Christine Chapel into a misguided alliance by promising the crystals will help her win Spock’s affections. The plot spirals as Mudd hijacks a shuttle and flees with Chapel to a planet teeming with gargantuan rock beasts. Meanwhile, the crystals inadvertently infiltrate the Enterprise, causing chaos as crew members succumb to their mind-altering effects. Kirk and Spock eventually confront Mudd, with Kirk employing the crystals to pacify the beasts, only for the effects to wear off, leaving the crew grappling with lingering hostility as side effect.

The episode’s narrative is solid if unremarkable, leaning on Kandel’s knack for crafting audacious Mudd-style cons. The love crystals plot, while borrowing thematic elements from TOS’s The Naked Time, distinguishes itself through its focus on romantic manipulation. The crystals’ dual function—both as a love potion and a tool for chaos—adds layers of irony, particularly in Spock’s reluctant admission of his feelings for Chapel, which propels him to join the rescue mission. Kandel also subtly advances Star Trek’s continuity: the episode introduces Starfleet ID badges, a detail later canonized in films and spin-offs. Additionally, the Chapel-Spock dynamic, hinted at in TOS, gains slight traction here, though it remains underdeveloped. These touches underscore Kandel’s awareness of the series’ lore, even as he prioritizes plot over depth.

However, Mudd’s Passion is not without its missteps. The most glaring issue is its treatment of Nurse Chapel, whose naivety and susceptibility to Mudd’s manipulation risk alienating modern viewers. Chapel, a capable medical officer, is reduced to a gullible romantic fool, trusting Mudd’s deceitful promises while her male counterparts remain level-headed. This dynamic, while perhaps acceptable in 1960s sitcom tropes, now feels patronizing.

The episode’s technical execution, however, is its most contentious aspect. Kandel’s comedic timing and dialogue, which thrived in the physicality of live actors, struggle to translate to the animated format. Filmation’s limited animation style—characterized by static poses and repetitive movements—renders character interactions stilted and unconvincing. Mudd’s roguish charm, so vivid in Carmel’s voice, lacks the visual panache needed to elevate his schemes from contrivance to wit. Even the rock-beast sequences, which promised spectacle, feel underwhelming, their designs simplistic and their movements mechanical. The animation’s shortcomings dilute the episode’s potential, making it feel more like a radio play with visuals than a cohesive animated narrative.

Despite these flaws, Mudd’s Passion retains a charm that appeals to dedicated Trek fans, particularly those nostalgic for the franchise’s origins. Its value lies in its role as a bridge between TOS and later iterations, showcasing Carmel’s irreplaceable portrayal of Mudd—a role that would vanish from the franchise after his death in 1977, only to be resurrected decades later by Rainn Wilson in Star Trek: Discovery. For viewers willing to overlook its technical and thematic datedness, the episode offers a glimpse into Kandel’s playful imagination and Carmel’s iconic performance. Yet its appeal is niche; modern audiences may find it too campy, its jokes too broad, and its characterizations too uneven to warrant more than a passing curiosity.

Ultimately, Mudd’s Passion is a flawed but fascinating entry in Star Trek’s animated canon. It exemplifies both the promise and pitfalls of TAS—a series that allowed creative risks but suffered from production constraints. While not essential viewing for all fans, it holds a special place for those eager to explore the franchise’s lesser-known corners, where Mudd’s antics, for all their absurdity, remind us that even the most dubious characters can leave an indelible mark on science fiction history.
