Daragh “Horatio Velvetine” Kennedy

The plot was good, premise was good, some good humour- but the cringy acting from the female cop was just so awful, it made the movie unwatchable. Bad enough that the casting of that character was awful - but what were the directors/producers thinking of releasing it with that quality level of acting. Its difficult to accurately express how shockingly poor and off putting the performance was…its a pity, as the concept had such good potential

—- Spoilers below —— In 1999, I sat in a theatre and was in awe of the matrix brilliance. The following two sequels while not as enthralling as the first, I still really liked as the story as a whole was brilliant. 2021, we see the entire principals of the matrix removed… I thought it started quite well and the first 20/25 mins worked for me. And in the blink of an eye, it took the largest nose dive going a potential 8/10 to a 2 or 3/10 Agents: While agents remain in the matrix, they’re not really relevant. Humans plugged into the matrix are not scared of agents and are easily able to fight them, frequently defeating them. Bullet Time: What made and defined the matrix has sadly been removed. Which aligns with the fact that agents don’t matter in this one. Unfortunately it results in tame, unimaginative fight scenes. Fight /action scenes: It is incredible that In 1999, there was better and more advanced technology for fight scenes than in 2021. At least that’s what it feels like. It really seemed like someone thought ‘we should have a couple of fight scenes, let’s slap something together so we can focus on the woke political agenda and audience manipulation’. Team: Original Nebakeneza characters-Cipher, Apoc, Mouse etc… were believable and interesting characters -even though only on screen for about 5 mins, we were able to get their personalities and associate with them. This new cast are just bad. I’m not sure if it’s just very bad cast of poor actors, or lacking direction… but they are boring and waste of time, very disappointing. There is a substantial amount of bad acting in the movie, and it can be quite cringy at times. The original character actors hold the movie somewhat together. Humour: As there really wasn’t any fear, danger or importance in the storyline, it kinda makes sense that the plot would mock and make fun of the matrix franchise itself and indeed this 4th instalment. While the first couple of satirical jokes were welcomed… it just became borderline like spitting on the originals, which is disappointing for those of us who luv the matrix. Morpheus: While Morpheus is allegedly constructed/programmed by Neo from his memories… Morpheus character in 2021 is nothing like original. He wears bright clothes like he’s in a masquerade ball, he doesn’t mind at all that most of humanity is imprisoned in the matrix. In fact no one does Prison: The fact that humanity is still imprisoned doesn’t matter at all, and is a complete side note in this one. The main focus of this movie is to show you women can be ‘the one’ too, and in fact while men may appear to be the one, it’s really the women….but essentially anyone can be the one :( - Very woke, very obvious and in your face. The one: Hmmm, less said about this the better… basically the previous 3 originals have been tarnished. In an effort for a story, to promote the woke political agenda… the goal was to clumsily rewrite one of the best sci-fi stories in film history. Stop re-writing history to suit your political agenda… come up with new ideas and franchises to push agendas on your audience. Story: The story just seemed like a few people brainstormed some ideas and mashed them together to make it work… it’s very disjointed, sometimes too rushed, sometimes over explained, yet sometimes too slow… maybe they should have taken more time before releasing this- pales in comparison to previous trilogy, and does it’s best to rewrite and undo the matrix legacy

By far the worst Far Cry game in the series, it’s definitely on the list of worst games in the last 10 years. The big question for FC6 is what is the purpose of your character and the game itself… for some reason everything is irrelevant and appears to be focused around ‘it’s the taking part that counts’ mentality… im not sure who the target audience was, but it’s certainly not my generation anyway. It’s hard to describe how bad the story is, everything is based around poorly written characters, boring and irritating who speak in cliches always focused on illustrating how woke and diverse UBIsoft are…. It’s really rammed down your throat consistently. Your character Dani doesn’t really matter in the story, you’re just there- but you are not really important in the story or missions. There’s no progression, so nothing you do really matters, complete or fail missions … it’s all good, it will push fwd anyway anyway as it’s not important what your character does. The worst game in the series to date was FC new dawn, and they actually took the worst gameplay elements and reused them for FC6…No more crafting or hunting- replaced with mindless repetition of collecting scrap metal and gasoline to build things (that do not matter at all if you build them or not 🤣… it’s crazy how irrelevant everything is) , bullet sponging is infuriating, respawning Of outposts,.. there’s just too many to mention, but they seem to take all the previous negative aspects of previous FC/all Ubisoft games and expand on them…. why on earth they would do that is ridiculous, but it’s part of the pattern you see in Ubisoft games- you play one game, you’ve played them all, except they seem to make it worse every time… The villains have no engagement or interaction with your character… you don’t even get to kill most of them. When fighting the bosses (I can’t even remember their names) I remember asking myself- who is this person? Why am I fighting them? …. Not immersive at all, couldn’t be worse I loved the FC series, but it’s done for me now… I’ll continue to enjoy up to FC5, but won’t wasted my time on future versions - yes, that’s how bad Far Cry 6 is.

I was quite looking fwd to this, but I found it very disappointing. Its primary focus is on the Netflix documentary ‘Making a murderer’ rather than the case itself. The main objective is to be ‘a hatchet job’ on the Netflix show, as opposed to proving or expanding on the guilt of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey. The people being interviewed are mostly not involved in the case, but rather have seen the Netflix show or they are online true crime sleuths giving their opinion on the show. It would have been much better if the show was focused on facts and evidence of the case and illustrating that the conviction was deserved, and that the victims killer is where they should be. While only watched 2 episodes so far - I find it quite boring as it’s more of a documentary about a documentary with nothing new to what everyone already knows at this point. Maybe it just took too long to bring it out, but I’m not holding my breath that the remaining episodes will be any better
