The reverse of that post I’ve made a week ago…

Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn’t take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG… These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

    As someone who absolutely loved Cloud Atlas, I read the reviews for Jupiter Ascending hoping to be blown away yet again and I just couldn’t bring myself to even watch it. Considering The Matrix Resurrections was so bad I almost left the theater, I thought I chose right… Wachowskis have repeatedly missed the mark lately. Maybe I’ll give it a watch anyway.

      I mean it’s not good. It’s a gas station hot dog (terrible but surprisingly tasty when you’re drunk) the same as that sort of thing is with a male protagonist, but it’s fun to watch when that’s all you’re watching it for and just this once it’s nice to see a girl to do it for a change.
