Starts of promising but doesn't live up to expectations.
Starts off very promising with a cool premise and some interesting plot twists but soon degenerates into very familiar territory - very closely following the plot of another very famous film with a similar premise. It even copies some of the iconic scenes from the original. I wouldn't bother unless you are seriously into sci-fi and don't mind unoriginal its.

Its an ok show. I grew up whatching the original series, TNG, Deep space 9, and the other Two series. Seen all the movies. (Step dad and husband big Star Trek fans) The show could be better if they allowed more characters development to the other characters. And it almost becoming predictable. Like what is Michelle Bernum going to on this episode? This is suppose to be Star Trek not the Michelle Bernnum show

A fascinating story with multiple endings. (3 more)
An excellent blend of genres, including bullet hell, hack and slash, and RPG
Absolutely stunning in 4K
One of the best original soundtracks I have heard in some time.
Gameplay is simple, and very easy to master (2 more)
Each "path" is about 5-6 hours long, discluding side quests.
It is VERY easy to get motion sick.
A perfect cocktail of bullet hell, and hack and slash.

I really enjoyed this! Big thanks to my Team Leader at work for buying this for me. What can I say about Daughter of Smoke and Bone? It's original and so thought out. Karou's story and back story are so intricate and well written that I absolutely had to keep reading to find out the ending. Of course I'm going to have to buy the next book now to find out, but it's worth it!

Excellent adaptation from the original
As a young child, I obsessively watched the Animated movie. Growing up, I have read every adaptation I could get my hands on. This movie did a splendid job of translating the animated film to live action. The development between Belle and the Beast was slower in this version which I loved. Overall, I highly recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys this fairy tale.

REVIEW OF THE PRINCES OF FLORENCE
If you're a serious strategy player that enjoys a thinking man's games, this is one for you: a solid, interesting European design. If you prefer your games in a slightly lighter vein, read this review carefully first to see if Princes of Florence is actually of interest or not.
Original Review: 4/5

Dean (6927 KP) rated 30 Days of Night (2007) in Movies
Feb 14, 2018
At last a great Vampire horror film!! It's been a long time coming. I love the Blade and Underworld films but they definitely fit more into the action genre. This is bloody and gory in places, has plenty of tension and a good story about a town under siege for 30 days. The photography is great and vampires look original. Overall it has something for everyone especially those who love a good horror, vampire film!
Ross (3284 KP) rated HeroQuest Advanced Quest in Tabletop Games
Apr 4, 2018
The advanced quest was a step beyond the "newb-friendly" Hero Quest. Dice rolling was made more complex, and the quests became more arduous. This was a step too far and possibly put me off a career in D&D for life, after the gentle, easy to follow rules of the original. The added rules and complexity took away from the enjoyment for me, but then I was only about 11 at the time...
Dean (6927 KP) rated Shutter (2008) in Movies
Feb 27, 2018
A pretty decent effort of a remake of the original Thai film. It compares well and the scenes are very similar, but the Thai version was more jumpy and creepy for me. Though that could be partly put down to knowing what was coming. The imagery of the ghost girl is no way as scary as the Grudge, Ring remakes. Enjoyable film well made and featuring a recognizable cast including Rachael Taylor from Transformers.
