Basic propaganda. Imagine making a film about dangerous dogs, then using a Labrador to play the part of the dangerous dog. Then you scroll through the 5 star reviews and notice most of them are just the same thing, probably using ChatGPT to change the wording slightly. Pathetic... anyone with an ounce of intelligence will see immediately what they are trying to do. Made by Netflix, should be enough of a clue.

Let's just say, if they had spent as much time on making a brilliant storyline and believable scenes, than they did on trying to be as woke as they can possibly be, then it could have been decent, going by the beautiful scenery. Disappointing to say the least.

So, it starts off in Robocop, slides into Terminator, then goes a bit Interstellar, then we find ourselves wandering into the Avatar set. Then a bit of Aliens thrown in, with a sprinkling of Short Circuit and Star-wars... all the while having the heroes being played by an obviously deliberately selected diversity quota. I used to love the old movies with the black actors who were in it because they were brilliant actors... not just because they were black and were needed to be shoehorned in to fill an agenda. Well it's on Netflix, so totally expected I suppose. Even the first giant robot has a girly name and spouts off it's imaginary pronouns. To recap, it's all been done before, this rips off scenes from all the classic sci-fi movies, even steals the story-lines from past movies. Totally predictable script, with terrible acting. It's a shame, as the special effects were quite good. After it finished, I couldn't wait to read the reviews for a good laugh.

Looks like it was written by the new Google AI. Terrible acting, terrible accents, terrible script. Tell me it is a 2024 movie without telling me it's 2024.

Drinking game: Take a shot after every unbelievable or unrealistic thing that happens in each episode. You'll be drunk as a skunk from start to finish.

Wokesters will absolutely love this movie. Complete with a black doctor of astronomy with medical skills, as was so common in Victorian England as we all know, this will leave every diversity officer swooning with delight. Either the film makers have been lazy in their research of 19th century England, or they are deliberately trying to create a false narrative, you decide.

Every parent should watch this film. Being a father and grandfather myself, it really tugs at my heart. I felt every bit of pain that the characters in the movie felt. I can't even imagine how I would feel if one of mine was taken. But knowing that this type of thing is actually happening, on such an industrial scale, is sickening. I implore everyone to go and see the movie, then spread the word to get your friends and loved ones to see it too.

These days, I have to watch anything Disney puts out before I will make up my mind whether to let my children watch it. I'm especially glad I did for this one, as I consider this "Not child appropriate", as it promotes modern ideology that I am trying to protect my children from. I have cancelled the Disney channel, but instead I download the older Disney films for them to watch. Walt Disney would be turning in his grave at what they are spewing out lately. Avoid at all cost.

Take a brilliant book, add a bit of Netflix and hey presto! I'm a bit disappointed with Netflix... they could have added more Medieval black characters, as we all know that sub-Saharan Africans had sailed up the Atlantic in magnificent ships since the beginning of time itself. Also, there was a noted exclusion of dwarfs with down syndrome. Why were they not picked for any roles. Happy to see a couple of the alphabet people squeezed in though... really made the series complete... complete in the sense of complete garbage.
