Akward (448 KP) rated the PC version of No Man's Sky in Video Games

On Reddit, you will see a lot of people who say the game is completely different than when it launched, and that is true. But the core gameplay loop hasn't changed: spend a bunch of time trying to find better ships or guns, rinse and repeat. Finding these upgrades can take a long time, and do not really pay off. If you boil it down, the 30-60 minutes you just spent looking result in only 1 additional item slot.

We're not entirely there yet, though, with this film going to great pains to try to form a coherent narrative out of all the previous Daniel Craig outings as Bond, with the reveal of SPECTRE and of a face from Bond's past (albeit that last handled very shoddily: just sort of thrown in there, if you will) and with a plot that takes in the dangers of global survellaince.
Like the rest of the Daniel Craig Bond film: just OK, nothing special.

But Jake is boring. SO BORING. He doesn't really have any character flaws. Oh sure, he has problems, expositionally convenient plot device "visions", but no real, tangible character elements. He reacts violently towards another kid at school, but this isn't treated as a flaw and this isn't a movie where Jake is going to learn that there's a better solution than violence. At best he's going to learn that it's bad to use your fists to solve problems - guns are much more efficient.
The Gunslinger is presented with all the hallmarks of a protagonist. He's got a defined past and a defined character flaw. He's consumed with thoughts of revenge and will let the world burn around him to get it. The problem is, the story never gives him a point where he actually has to make a choice between revenge and something better.
The villain, while fun, seems to have no internal motivation whatsoever. Why does he want to destroy the universe? Because that's what semi-omnipotent bad guys want to do, I guess.
And I get it, he's called the Gunslinger, he shoots guns. It's all very straightforward. But that doesn't mean it's not still kind of boring to watch EVERY problem they encounter get solved by just shooting at it enough while every single woman in the movie exists to be murdered, assaulted, and grossly sexualized by the villain.
It used every trope in the book, it used them badly, and the script was just...not good.

Awix (3310 KP) rated The Black Hole (1979) in Movies
Feb 13, 2018
Distinctly odd movie which can't seem to decide whether it's a cheery George Lucas-style family-friendly adventure extravaganza with cute robots and zap guns aplenty, or a post-Stanley Kubrick tale of existential contemplation and all-pervading gloom. In the end the dark tone is mostly triumphant - bemusing final sequence reveals black hole is actually a gateway to hell, which may explain why this has been acclaimed as the most scientifically inaccurate movie in history. Decent cast try hard; very good score from John Barry helps keep things moving along.
