Gareth von Kallenbach (980 KP) rated Justice League Dark: Apokolips War (2020) in Movies
May 28, 2020
Warner Bros. Home Entertainment has released the latest Animated DC film with the impressive Justice League Dark: Apokolips War. The film brings a very impressive cast who voice a large collection of DC heroes and villains in an R-rated film that is gripping and engaging.
When Darkseid (Tony Todd) Threatens the Earth; the Justice League must rally to save the day. What really makes the film shine is not only the very large cast; but the fact that so many heroes and villains from the DC universe come into play and at times take actions that viewers would not normally expect from the characters.
There is a complexity to the movie that one would not usually expect as the characters show their flaws and this is not a collection of pristine heroes vs scenery chewing bad guys.
Characters have baggage as well as strong motivations and even doubt which is very refreshing. The story also can be enjoyed by fans who are well versed in the mythos as well as more casual viewers who may not be as up to date on the actions leading up to the film as well as some of the characters.
The story is dark and mature which is reflected in the R-rating which for me is a great thing as Warner has been doing more and more R-rated animated content which is very appealing as there are far fewer restrictions on story content.
The animation is first-rate and the very impressive cast makes this one that fans will not want to miss.

MCU
The first modern day Spider Man movie. Of all of the spider man movies this one to me seems to follow the comic on really how he bacme the famous super hero. We see the nerdy love struck Peter Parker get bit by a genetically enhanced spider and get multiple talents of the spider. Once he has learned of his powers we see the typical MCU plot of a family member gets killed and he vows revenge to make it right but, by doing so he learns that revenge isn't always important but helping others from suffering the same fate is more important. We see him square off against the Green Goblin who is today still one of my favorite villains in all of the MCU

I've said it before, I'll say it again. The Expanse is hands down the best SF series this side of Frank Herbert. The story is so tight, the characters so real, and the plot threads so engaging, it blows my mind that the show adaptation was hanging by a thread. Not that the show should have any bearing on the books. The Expanse is <i>exactly</i> what I've been wanting out of a science fiction universe for years. It hits all the buttons for me and hits them hard.
In this installment, every conflict seems dire. The villains are sinister and competent, the protomolecule is apathetically devastating, and humanity is unsurprisingly shortsighted and self-centered. What could go wrong?
All hail JSAC.

LitRPG done right, with an interesting twist
LitRPG is a hard genre to break out into. That being said, Travis Bagwell has done an EXCELLENT job creating believable characters in a fascinating world. Personally, I felt that this was a great twist on the usual LitRPG--because the main character, Jason, discovers that villains aren't all what they seem.
Awaken Online is a brand new VR game that's just hit the market, one with an unusual premise... You're not the hero. You're not the Chosen One. You're a nobody, starting from the ground up. There are no bad guys, and no princesses need to be saved... Just you and your choices.
An outstanding read, and that's coming from someone who reads every day!

Great Action, Watch for Emotions
My son and I watched Avengers: Infinity War tonight. There were a few good laugh-out-loud moments mixed in with all the action and seriousness of the war. I shed a few tears at the end (of course). I have to admit that I have not watched all the Marvel movies and so a few of the characters were hard for me to identify, but this did not detract from the story. A few things would have made more sense had I watched the other movies leading up to this.
It is okay for children, my 9 year old understood what was going on and why parts were sad. He handled it well.

Rather tense at times for a horror comedy. (4 more)
The three main characters.
Corey Feldman gives one of his better performances.
The villains are surprisingly creepy.
The ending.
Pretty crazy 80s comedy/horror about neighbor paranoia with a young Tom Hanks, Carrie Fisher, and Corey Feldman. That sounds like a recipe for success to me. This typical film usually involves kids or teens investigating due to paranoia, but here we have adults which adds a level of comedy to it in itself. Love how the ending pulls a twist and then twists back. As a first time viewer you have no fucking clue until the credits roll. And all he wanted to do was enjoy his vacation by relaxing at home. I can relate.
