A Tale Of Unearned Love, Friendship, and Glory. I don’t know much about the original Arthurian legend which this movie seemed to be adept from. I had high expectations going into the theater to see this one since it had high praise on Rotten Tomatoes. I have to say, I am mostly disappointed. The movie started fairly strong with mysterious set-ups and nice production design, then the story just grew weaker and weaker. All the parts that are supposed to be exciting, the quest of the knight, the lust and seduction, the mysterious red fox in the woods and the unexpected interlude, all turned out to be stories with no meanings. This young man, though handsome, did nothing to earn the trust, respect, love, and friendship offered by all the people and creatures around him. Throughout the entire movie, there’s no one “a-ha” moment where you can peak into the inner world of the characters to see what drives their actions and emotions. It’s just a long chaotic dream with no ending and makes no sense. You could argue that this movie is not supposed to make sense since it’s just a legend after all, but a good movie should be able to tell a story. This one certainly doesn’t.

Double twist ending was well played. I won’t say this is award worthy materials but it’s definitely entertaining. The first couple episodes were slow then half way through the show you will realize it is really about something else, then the ending will make you drop your jaw. There are some loose-ends here and there, but the progression overall is intriguing. One of the questions I had was what did Rob write on those notebook pages that were torn?

I watched this show very late at night. It was a mistake but it’s not because the show was not good. The show was a brilliant intervention of what an immersive storytelling experience could be like. I had goose bumps all over my legs and arms when I reached the Skylar and Justin episode…The sound and the sound waves somehow was able to create this a very freaky creepy and chilling experience. Basically it’s portraying the story of the universe trying to self-correct in order to protect the original timeline after the multi-timeline clashing over the phone line. Mind-bending is an understatement for this show. The format is surprisingly effective in story telling.
