First, I enjoyed the first three seasons of Snowpiercer. HOWEVER, Season 4 episode 1 seems to have a completely different production quality. The cameraman reminds me of an amateur who has never heard of a tripod, image stabilization, a camera rig, and is probably a 4 year old holding a cellphone while walking and shooting as close as possible to faces and aiming at anything that talks or moves. Think Blair Witch Project. I could barely watch the show as nausea and dizziness set in fast. Had to stop watching after 15 minutes then take 30 minutes just to recover from that. Hey, if you don't want people to watch your show, you're on the right track: take years to release a new season (by then we've forgotten who we were watching) and pay a kid to run around with a camera. Whoever decided this was the way to shoot any video, should be fired. TWO STARS for the lousy production quality and camera crew and for giving me nausea.
Once again, just like I said in Part One, maybe you guys watched it on a tiny screen. I watched it on a 120-inch screen, with 5.1 speakers, hehehe. I liked it! Sure it borrowed a lot of concepts from other movies mainly Seven Samurai / 47 Ronin. Sure the concept/story isn't unique/original. But I thought it was entertaining. That's the whole point right? I even re-watched Part One just before watching Part Two. I think both movies are at 7.5 to 8 stars. One criticism: Not a fan of the haircut. I'd go for the Underworld hairstyle. Looking forward to Part Three. I am definitely looking forward to a Director's/Snyder's Cut.
I need to first say Star Trek Picard in my opinion is second to the worst Star Trek TV show ever made. However the absolute worst of them all, is the absolute disaster called Discovery. It is sooooo bad, I think all the writers involved should be banned. First the cursing in a Star Trek show. Really? That alone is a minus 5 stars imho. Second, none of the regular actors are likeable. Third, while I did watch everything so far up to Season 5 episode 3, I can't wait until the episodes and the series are finally over. I'm too invested into watching, I just need to see how it ends. I often find myself doing something else while Discovery is playing. After 5 seasons, I still don't know who are the actors/characters...yeah there's a Capt. Michael, Saru, a guy named Boker....and that's all I remember. The rest are completely forgettable, dull, unlikeable. Fourth, the gay garbage in Star Trek. Do your politics in some other garbage show. Five, the Klingons....what's up with the unnecessary change? However.... the effects are nice, music is nice, which is why the show gets 3 stars instead of zero. If I were still recording shows in VHS, I would burn the tapes after watching them. If you want great Star Trek, watch TOS, TNG, Voyager, Enterprise, DS9, Strange New Worlds, the Star Trek movies. Even Star Trek I and V are better than this garbage.
