Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Iron and Magic (The Iron Covenant, #1; Kate Daniels, #9.5) in Books

Jan 7, 2021

Hmm...

I struggled to get my head around a world that is magic half the time/tech the other half. When magic was up I saw the world in some sort of old fairy tale type way but then Hugh'd be in a Lazyboy chair and it would just throw me off completely. I couldn't get myself to see it as some sort of modern world with magic. I just couldn't.

As for the romance between our two leads, I was enjoying the slow build up but now they're at that point where things could become more permanent if they'd just talk about things, like what she is...?I

I wouldn't mind reading the second one and hopefully the world building will sink in next time.

Vin diesel stars a soldier who is K.I.A only to be brought back by a company who specializes in high tech body replacements/enhancements. The story starts of weak and eventually is knocked into high Gear which doesn't quite last, and unfortunately delivers another obvious villain.
It's what I can only describe as a XXX meets terminator movie (which sounds better on paper) that's being dubbed as a universal soldier knockoff!?
The action scenes were perfectly done, creating a hard hitting thrill ride at times only to quickly slow down. Vin diesel is great in this, regularly appearing in his trade mark tank top but the movie is very anticlimactic which really doesn't help.

Lavish mini-series is basically what you'd expect from Alex Garland: striking visuals, big themes, slightly bemusing plot. A computer engineer in a Silicon Valley tech firm discovers her boyfriend's apparent suicide was actually murder, connected to a secret project which threatens to change human perceptions of the universe forever.

The ideas of the series - about free will, determinism, the nature of the universe and of destiny - are undeniably fascinating and well-presented, and the acting is generally very good too. The rather glacial pace and borderline pretentiousness of some of it are more of a problem, but they should come as no surprise to anyone who's seen Annihilation or Ex Machina. Starts slow, but it will get its hooks into you as it goes on.
