great rendition

If you're already a fan of the original anime, I'm preaching to the choir. If you're unfamiliar with it, check this one out. If you don't like futuristic cyber sci-fi, this may not be for you. A cerebral film with a philosophy and enough action to keep the adrenaline junkies happy. :-)

Cosmic Love Story
on August 29, 2017

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is really a great concept - one that hasn't been explored as far as I know and I watch a lot of sci-fi! A moral dilemma, a love story, spectacular special FX. What's not to love? I had read some negative reviews - I think people were expecting more action because Chris Pratt was in it. So, if you're expecting "Hunger Games" meets "Guardians of the Galaxy", you are definitely in the wrong movie!

I'm not a gamer and could care less about where this came from. It was all new to me and I loved the concept and execution. Enough action to keep everyone happy and an evolving storyline to keep you thinking. Great cast! Nice soundtrack too.

Spectacular Escape

If you're familiar with Zhang Yimou's other films, you know what to expect. You will not be disappointed. Entertaining special FX extravaganza. Pure escapism. The creatures are apparently based on real Chinese folklore. Not as martial arts laden as his previous films, but that's not a bad thing.

More like Bond

Gotta love Jason Statham. You don't have to see the first movie to enjoy this one. More like a Bond film with the death defying stunts. Action packed as expected. Make a big bowl of popcorn and enjoy your escape.

One of the better ones

Yes, zombies are all the rage thanks to a particular popular TV series. There have been some bad, low budget imitations. This isn't one of them, nor is it trying to be TWD. They made sure there was a real story here, with real relationships, set up beforehand. Korean zombies are very "twitchy" and don't slumber but dash full speed ahead! Some gripping moments. Very well done. Highly recommended.

Fabulous

I'm not one for musicals - but this one is too much fun. Possibly my favorite fairy tale of all time. Apparently this is based on the animated version Disney made a fortune on. I never saw it - but this one is spectacular. The sets are amazing and the actors are obviously having a blast.

Blu-ray/Digital. Black Sails The Complete Second Season begins where we left off, as the Walrus crew is stranded with an army of Spanish soldiers standing between them and the precious Urca gold. And with their crimes against their brethren no longer a secret, Flint and Silver must join forces in a desperate bid for survival. Meanwhile, Eleanor Guthrie struggles to maintain her grip on Nassau, as a new breed of pirate arrives in the form of Ned Low, a man for whom violence isn't just a tool... it's a pastime. As blood is spilled, and tensions mount, Charles Vane must decide which he values more; Eleanor's life, or the respect of his men. And unbeknownst to all of them, a prize of immeasurable value has already been smuggled onto the island... one whose discovery will alter the very landscape of their world, and force everyone in Nassau toward the ultimate judgment are they men, or are they monsters?

The second season fleshes out the characters we were introduced to in season 1. We slowly begin to learn the back stories, like an onion peeling. Seems to be building to... something big!

1715. The Golden Age of Piracy. New Providence Island is a lawless territory, controlled by history's most notorious pirate captains. The most feared is Captain Flint. As the British Navy returns to redeem their land and exterminate Flint and his crew, another side of him emerges. He allies himself with Eleanor Guthrie, daughter of the local kingpin, to hunt the ultimate prize and ensure their survival. Many opponents stand in their way rival captains, jealous of Flint's power; Eleanor's ambitious and intrusive father; and a young sailor recently recruited onto Flint's crew, John Silver, who constantly undermines his captain's agenda.

I have come to really appreciate this series. It is a perfect blend of fact and fiction and reveals the surprisingly democratic system that pirates maintained. Colorful characters and great locations. Don't expect "Pirates of the Caribbean"! :-)

Clever story telling

I have never seen a film quite constructed this way, though in a general sense it's a story within a story - literally. Stellar performances by all. Subject matter may be disturbing to the squeamish.
