The Agency brings back the atmosphere of serious spy thrillers such as Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Bridge of Spies and Enemy of the State. A slow-burn and intriguingly blended story line throws a number of distractions and some high-action scenes behind the lines in Ukraine while maintaining its integrity. Martian, played by Michael Fassbender, is a potentially compromised agent suffering burn-out while somehow maintaining high-level function. Fassbender's performance is dry, sometimes disturbing like only he can be but the viewer can still muster up sympathy for his situation. I think its excellent, with all supporting actors doing an amazing job.

A little slow to start and with some obvious "why aren't you doing this instead" moments, it is still intriguing, well acted and worth the watch. It is also a pleasant experience not to be waiting for a zombie attack. I like it.

The Acolyte is bind mind-bendingly dull. The characterisations and story line are cliched beyond what you would normally expect from the Disney Star Wars productions. Had they put as much effort into writing a decent story as they put into the sexual identity politics, Disney may have appealed to a broader audience. As it is, perhaps only 10% of the world will like it - and then not even for the story.

Its a shame to rate this series with One Star, because the cast's performance was excellent. The production values are excellent and the story is excellent. But the overt wokeness has to be reviewed as it dominated the show. All white males in the show were terrible people. All white females in the show were victims of white males. All black people in the show were victims of white males. And the missed point of the whole show was that Vincent suffered terribly from mental illness yet is forced to admit the "he is the toxic thing". Everyone is a victim of white people. This made me puke.

Surprisingly good. But they did swap between footage of a blachawk, then live footage of a huey, plus some other continuity issues, but overall a good performance from all and worth watching.

This should have been aborted before firing off the first stage. Lets hope the second stage self destruct is activated. Its a gag-free zone, with lousing timing and purposeless acting. Its shame, as all the actors are so much better than this. Don't waste your time.

There are so many things wrong with this advertorial that it would take a week to expose every flaw. It is biased, selective in its data choices, misleading, inaccurate and fails to declare a vested interest in that James Cameron, the main figure behind the production, is a major investor in a pea protein company and Mrs Cameron is starting a chain of vegan schools. Do you think Arnold just happens to chime in if he hadn't just filmed with Mr Cameron? Honestly, this film is propaganda. For a clear rebuttal, please watch Joe Rogan and Dr Chris Kresser.

Season 1 was off to a terrible start and I freely admit that I am slow off the mark to start watching and I have only seen 3 S1 episodes. Katee is a well seasoned actor and it shows. Her maturity holds an emotionally childish cast together and somehow she manages to put just enough gravitas into an otherwise purile and infantile script. But, something else is also keeping me interested. Its not the cliched alien (Close Encounters, jeez), or the excessive f-bombing or the screaming toddlers that somehow managed to be the best Earth have to offer in a life saving interseller dash, or the alien exploding crew, or the psychotic 2IC that would never have passed a psych test, or the "lets fix our spaceship with an adjustable spanner" script ... you guys suck at writing sci-fi. It is that I am interested...somehow! I dont know why yet and I hope that somehow season 1 recovers. I know S2 is being filmed now, so there is hope. And perhaps thats why I am watching....in hope that scifi this bad can be recovered.

10 out of 10. This movie is beautifully produced, directed and acted. But best of all, it is exactly as understated as it should be. Well sone.
