Genuinely one of the best new Marvel movies that's come out in this recent phase. This movie is such a massive breath of fresh air for the MCU and has a pretty near-perfect blend of being stylistically different and unique but still having the Marvel feel and quality that helps you understand that its part of that Marvel universe. Probably the best part of this movie is the incredible fight choreography - it's so different from anything we've seen before and its shot so well and it makes the fight scenes so great to watch. The kung-fu influence is clear, and it gives off the feel of so many classic kung-fu fight scenes from older movies without feeling cheesy or corny, but instead building on it with creative and thrilling fistfights with depth and ingenuity that we haven't seen before in this universe. Another thing I loved as someone that's very interested in Chinese culture and stories is the way they incorporated so many little (and large) bits of Chinese mythology in a way that didn't feel like some sort of half-baked attempt at being culturally inclusive from Marvel. In my opinion the only place this film falls a little short is with some of the comic relief from Awkwafina's character who kind of just plays into this newfound Marvel stereotype of the side character that's new to this world that cracks a lot of jokes and is along for the ride for some reason, but maybe that's just me. To be fair, some of the jokes in the movie, especially ones later on that I won't spoil, were actually pretty funny and creative, and the movie was able to be a little light-hearted without going so far as to feel unserious or campy (for the most part). Overall, great movie, great story, solid characters, amazing action scenes, great CGI, very creative, and very entertaining. I can't wait to see Simu Liu take his place in the MCU in later films, he's a great new addition. 9/10

What a series. I re-watched this series so much as a child, and after revisiting it recently it's still an amazing experience and probably some of the best and most high-quality dinosaur media outside of the Jurassic Park movies. The narration is good, the storytelling is good, but most importantly, the dinosaurs look amazing. Using a mix of real backgrounds and CGI creatures makes it still look pretty realistic, even decades after the original release. Even with its age you'd be hard-pressed to find a show like this that has the same level of quality that isn't a plastic-looking CGI mess. It holds up near-flawlessly, and makes me remember how much I loved it and was fascinated with the world it created as a child. Not to say that it can't still be enjoyed by older people though, as its storytelling and ideas can be enjoyed by everyone and it's by no means a kiddish or immature show. Everything down to the background music and cinematography comes together to create a great viewing experience. Highly recommend.

The CGI is nearly flawless and the ideas are really creative and they use good comparisons from Earth to draw parallels to these alien planets. However, I will say that in my opinion it spends too much time on Earth and just turns into an ordinary nature show, which I’ve seen dozens of times. I know the CGI is expensive, but I just wish they were able to spend a larger portion of each episode actually looking at these cool alien worlds as it’s something I haven’t seen before.

A truly remarkable film. Everything about it leaves you wondering. It answers the question that I'm sure most people have, and that is about what we would do if alien life came into contact with us. However, it's not like most other sci-fi movies that are filled with action and thrills. It makes the concept of contact with extraterrestrial life, and how we would deal with it, seem realistic (I mean, it very well might be realistic, who knows, but that's a different train of thought). Everything in this movie, from the plot, the acting, the VFX, the sound design, and so much more, can be regarded as part of what makes this movie a masterpiece. It's one of the most unique movies I've ever seen, and it makes you think in a way you'd never imagine you'd be able to. I highly recommend it.

This show has genuinely funny, intelligent humour extending way beyond a lot of the mindless sitcoms we see being dished out left and right these days. The characters are all funny and likeable, and this show is borderline perfectly cast. I don’t know if I can imagine anyone else in these roles and the actors play their parts perfectly. The opening title sequence and song is also really catchy and makes this show that much more enjoyable. One of the best comedies I’ve seen in years.
