Emma Ashford (10 KP) created a post

Just finished watching Pacific Rim Uprising, a review in two words would be utterly fantastic. Jaeger vs Jaeger, and Giant robot vs kaiju is always awesome.
  I like how they have carried on considering the first movie was a stand alone set up experiment, to see if the audience would enjoy this new genre of film that is giant mecha science fiction. For veterans of the genre there are some nice intertextual links to be spotted especially towards the final scences.
  Plotwise having the son of Pentecost being the main character makes as lot of sense. The only hole in the plot I can see is that there is no mention of what actually happened to the previous film's protagonist Ralleigh.
  I highly recommend the film.

I enjoyed this novel much more than its predecessor for many reasons, not the least of which is the different narrator chosen for the audiobook. I wholeheartedly believe this narrator made the plot seems more interesting, the characters more vivid and the pace of the novel better than the previous one. The recurring characters, along with the multitude of new ones, really fleshed out the story which takes off running after the events of The Tourist and, although background is always recommended, works nicely as a stand-alone. The fact that this narrator was different from the first made me give this one a try; that the next has the same narrator as this makes me want to continue the series.

The second in the Pucked series follows Miller (Buck) Butterson attempting and failing to win over his ice hockey team Captain’s (and future brother in law Alex) sister Sunny Waters. Buck and Sunny would be great together if only things and people would stop interfering!
Buck means well, but he certainly isn’t the smartest, and Sunny is young and sheltered, and everyone around her is over protective. But when the world finally gets a glimpse of the real Buck things start to change for the better!
This isn’t as funny as the first book, but still great writing! The character development is great too!
Follows on great from the first book but can also be read as a stand alone.

Logical upgrade on Scotland Yard- having a map the criminal can look at, rather than getting caught out looking at the shared map to determine where to go next and giving away their position. (0 more)
Would be good to have more counters of varying colours - to help the police in their investigations... Or alternatively printed maps that they can write on to help them remember what they've asked. (0 more)
Whitechapel
A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Hidden movement games are a particular type of game that really stand alone.

So many options for how to strategise as Jack, that this game has comes down to the smallest of clues until the end.

Very challenging as Jack, but highly enjoyable on both sides of the law.

I'm kinda peed off that I've spent God knows how many hours reading this series for <b>that</b> to be how the trilogy ends. Yeah, I gathered from the average rating that something happened that the readers weren't happy with but I didn't see that coming!

As a romance reader I'm definitely hacked off that it didn't end with sunshine and roses but at the same time I guess that with where the plot was going from the end of book 2 that there was no other way that it could end.

Being brutally honest, I'm just going to chuck out Insurgent and Allegiant and keep Divergent and think of it as a stand alone where Tris and Tobias live HEA.

I haven't played but have heard of the games and how popular they are. So I can't comment on how accurate it is. As a stand alone Thriller TV series it's really well done. HBO don't spare expense on their shows and it is the same here. Huge sets really immerse you into the Post apocalyptic world of the future. Felt a lot like the Walking Dead sets in scale.
The cast is good especially the two lead characters. The story is interesting and will grip you. Although some episodes take place at different times occasionally with different characters but they really bring the story to life. Check it out whether you have played the games or not.
