golly, that surely was a long run for our intrepid reporter and she just kept on running and running and running -- and never out of breath. so much more breathless drama than arriving in the car. brilliant story telling.

oh gawd.... like the abysmal "Bird Box", a racially PC cast that is so effing obvious with a black actor who for all practical purposes is white save for his skin... talks "white", from the "suburbs".... i'm all for diversity, i'm a less obvious minority myself, but this is insulting. oh yeah, let's name the movie after one of Jupiter's moons cuz it sounds cool but spend the whole time on some planet called Earth.

oh well... it had a pretty sunrise at the end and some lively grass blowing in the wind... and CROWS cawing. this was a nice touch. no trees in sight but crows cawing. several times. yeah, crows. that was nice. or maybe they were grackles. no... grackles kinda chirp. not really chirp but more of a chirp than a caw. so, yeah, definitely crows. yessireee, Netflix does it again.

this a reason why NF doesn't let anyone rate or review movies on the web site. that is because with VERY few exceptions their content is uniformly miserable, worse than B-movie dreck. like this ridiculous excuse for entertainment. NF aims for the bottom of the barrel for their audience (there's a sucker born every minute) and this is right down there in every conceivable way. wanna see Michael C. Hall look like a dope, gotta covered. hmmm.... let's fall 1000s of feet from an airplane, land in water, sink, sink, sink, don't breathe at all, then wake up, now hold your breath, swim to the surface, and BE JUST FINE. i turned it off at this point.

my gawd. bollywood comes to 'merica. horribly miscast. an interesting premise but so poorly executed i walked out after the Liverpool title thing screamed past on the screen SO fast as to be unreadable (and as UNNECESSARY) as all the other screaming title things. the point of those... is what? like the entire movie of unromantic, unbelievable characters even for a fantasy story. such a huge opportunity squandered.

Ho hum. TC is beautiful though so they got that right. The set pieces (lots of trees and branches) and some of the interior lighting setups are quite pretty to look at, so there's that too.
