While I was entertained, I'm not sure what they were trying to accomplish with making this film. It was good, not great. They could have done so much more with it. The shooting locations were beautiful, definitely one of the best parts. The characters were neither here, nor there, even though the cast was stacked with talent.
I do wish I would have seen this in theaters on a huge screen.

Emotionally Charged
Damn, this was simply a lovely story full of love, sadness, and redemption. While reading Zoey’s story I found myself crying, laughing and even wondering if I myself would be filled with the same kind of jealousy that Zoey experienced throughout the storyline. The author’s writing style pulls you in right from the start with beautiful characters and thought-provoking lines. I highly recommend this emotionally charged read.

This story continues where the first book left off and I must say that I have fallen head over heels in love with the continuing story line. Superbly crafted, well written with characters that pull you in quickly and keep you wanting more. This is truly a beautiful and moving story. You cannot pass this book up as you will be missing out on the ride of your life!

Unreliable writer , I would never expect that turn in the end
Highly recommend
John Green uses the words and the literature in a certain way, which makes you think and stops you to put the book down. His sentences are just simply amazing. The story, the emotions, the actions are unpredictable and beautiful. I highly recommend it with a box of tissue.

Science meets Religion and has a two way conversation
Truly an incredible book, it is my go-to recommendation for anyone looking for something new. The reconciliation of religion and science has never been so beautifully scifi.

As someone raised without religion, this was still an incredible read, and truly made me see the beauty in both hard science and faith.

Oh my. What a film. A must see for all dog lovers. You follow the soul of one little dog as he is born, dies and is reborn over and over. I was sobbing my heart out through most of the film! The film takes you on Baileys journey as he navigates life eventually finding his way back to his owner Ethan. Such a beautiful film.

A Cool Gold Costume
This was a unique and fun movie. I have heard multiple complaints that the CGI wasn't very good. I strongly disagree. The CGI looked fantastic and it was a film that we haven't seen yet. The CGI in particular under water was a very beautiful and it looked extremely realistic. A pretty strong addition to the DC Universe and it's one that I'll watch again.

A Fun And Elegant Movie
This new twist to a secret service has put elegance and honor to a modern day spy movie and as few realize has an actual background in real history that brings a complete brilliance to the whole film. Along with being a heart whelming tale about coming of age this film offers a little something for everyone.

Farcry with robot animals
Did I ask for farcry with robot giraffes. No but evidently I needed it. Such an endearing female protagonist, and not scantily clad. I support it. She's so badass and quick witted, a bit of an asshole and I love her for it. The customization actually mattered that was refreshing
