Three movies. First was best. Second was extremely well done. This focuses on a cancer patient, her cat that NEVER gets nervous, meows, hisses, or is frightened...and actually loves WATER. HUH!? A British man she bumps into tags along to have help. It's a great almost love story, good idea, but the focus is NOT on the aliens at all. So why call it DAY ONE ? They do show bits and pieces more here and there of the alien creatures, but don't explain anything beyond " oh yeah, remember now, they can't see". Pay really close attention to the scene where the cat disappears and is licking something that later the aliens eat. ***SPOILER ALERT They appear to be the Alien (1979) face hugger pods. Krasinsky should have stayed at the helm, and this would have been monumentally better. Very odd movie that speaks more about a single dying person and her Fatherly memories, than an ALIEN INVASION destroying life.

So, remake of the bouncer/ fighter Swayze Roadhouse movie, which was laughably baaad, now this. Is there a reason why he doesn't take new, fresh ideas? Maybe he just needs to make a boat payment and he's bored. No thanks. I'll take Harrison Ford and Mykelti Williamson, who I met right after the original came out.

I have seen ALL of them since the original in 68. This movie was beginning to end, so incredibly well written. The basic lessons of humanity are inescapable, and Freya Allen's Nova/ May was a really interesting take. Scenery and effects deserve an Oscar. *Make sure you watch it on a BIG screen.

Before you watch this movie, much like the person you see every couple of months you are craving to sleep with... because you're about quality, not quantity... lower your expectations. It's visually enticing, but you walk away thinking "what just happened?" The name is misleading, and not as important. The Creator promises a lot, but then don't they all? I would have changed several things, one of which not ruining the aesthetic of the initial appearance of the child with unimportant characters first. It's a very artistic, heavily Blade Runner influenced visual mish mash, but falls short in creating main character depth. Watch SISU first. Then you appreciate the subtlety of Creator.

As believable as it can be, after being very carefully edited by script services and government policy. It does however take some obvious liberties, but all in all is a fairly solid representation of being an operator within one of the world's most prestigious, heralded, special forces units. However, the most poorly conceived character is Mandy Ellis, played by actress Jessica Pare'. There are no female Intelligence Officers walking around in sprayed on tight clothing, or with their breasts on obvious display. Her character is laughable. Hopefully they tighten the lid on some details for season 3,and make the inescapable violence more realistic...so people grasp the immense scope of being specifically well trained for purpose.

Star wars the rise of Skywalker accomplishes three things that its predecessors struggled with. The first,is actually telling a story that everyone can follow, not just those who've seen all the movies before. Secondly, it actually develops characters, or in this case, substance over style. While there are obviously tremendous special effects, it relies more heavily on emotion. And lastly,it reminds you rather bluntly, simply, that normal people can rise up against tyranny. What Star wars has always been about, since the very first movie, is extremely simple...GOOD VERSUS EVIL. What this movie fails to do though, is actually anything different than its predecessors. The lack of imagination and creativity is on abundant display. To say this movie was dumbed-down, is an understatement. It's as if it was over simplified, because as usual, Hollywood assumes everyday, normal, working-class people aren't very bright. Hollywood makes that continuous mistake in almost everything it spews from the grinding machine of the movie industry. This is why there are so few truly oscar-worthy, intelligently written, directed, and creatively filmed stories.One of the few things this movie does not do well, is move from scene to scene fluidly. The last three movies all have in common this one effect. And I'm not sure why, there are thousands of close-ups that show no actual imagination in cinematography. Let's not forget, shall we...it is representing the vastness of space and billions of planets. If the Star wars series were to end today, this was a fitting send-off. This is not a bad movie, it's just not a great movie. I have seen every installment in the entire series since the original movie. So when you think about it, this movie really goes out of its way to reach that specific demographic, and it really doesn't care about those who are new to the series. But it ties all the movies together really well, with all of the characters you've seen before, and many of the machines in a perfect story...and trust me on this, if you leave thinking it's over and missed the last two minutes, you will be very,very sorry.

This is INARGUABLY one of my top 25 movies. It simply illustrates the completely devastating effects of violence. The juxtaposition of inescapable duty, that which creates endless culpability, is illustrated by the scene of normalcy with the two young german women. Anyone who described this movie as not really doing anything different,did not pay close enough attention. Of close consideration for military themes, not much is in it's shadows.

1st season was great,focusing on the interaction of the best friends,who ARE the reason for the show.2nd season became absolutely and annoyingly ridiculous with special effects etc. Keep it simpler! Focus on the kids.Less adult characters and Wynona Ryder needs to be toned down from her " lunatic Mom on crack " overacting scenes.

Sorry, but the truth is the truth. I just started watching this show on Amazon, even though it started years ago. I don't understand why they purposely avoided a more diverse cast. No blondes, no redheads, and they gave the most mideastern looking character on the show a bad fake Texas accent. Most of the characters were cast so they could save money on well known actors obviously, because most of them are not very good. The writing is flat, long winded and boring, there's nowhere near enough action, and they substituted profanity for even the slightest hint at sex,tho implied drug use is rampant. Plus someone please tell me why no one ever takes a shower. Some young writers thought it would be really cool to make everyone have piercings and be covered in tattoos with heads half shaved, and it just comes across as ridiculous. Actress Shoreh Aghdashloo parades around in flamboyant Indian garb, even though she's the only one on the entire show doing it. No one else ever seems to change clothes. They've only had one scene 30 seconds long where they're eating. The show's so horribly written it's hilarious. I just finished the second season , and since it's become so boring and lacking dynamic characters, I'm done. Like most everything on any streaming site, the first couple of episodes of any show are awesome, and then they slow down to a grinding halt. The only reason this show even made it because it has really good special effects that's about it, cuz the acting is terrible. Watch UTOPIA instead.

The term in the industry is "suspension of disbelief". There isn't a better definition of this terrible Chris Pratt vehicle, as you realize it veers completely out of control,it is impossible not to laugh. Formulaic,predictable,and built on the Hollywood myth SEALS are superhuman. Anyone on a current TEAM or past, will find it very difficult to make it past the first episode. Two stars are only for the action.
