Oh yes, it's that time of year when Netflix starts dishing out the festive movies. Some will be great, others will be terrible, and most will be a bit of cheesy fun. That's certainly where Holidate fits in to. I mean, reading the plot alone is enough to make your eyes roll, but as long as the leads are likable and have good chemistry then that's all you need. Thankfully, Sloane and Jackson are undoubtedly believable as a couple, even though they have a firm dislike of each other at first.

Decent Thriller

Heard good things about this Thriller currently on Netflix. It has a very good cast line up in the main roles. To start off with it feels like a James Patterson Alex Cross or Jo Nesbo story, quite similar to @Kiss The Girls (1997) in some ways. The plot is ok but towards the final third of the film it just feels like it's trying to be too much like those style of Thrillers but falls a little short. It had great potential but turns out just ok. One for Thriller fans.

Poor acting

Predictable

Disappointing

I waited a long time to see this, as it only recently became available on UK Netflix. The first 2 series were great and felt like very good Slasher films and were done well as a series.
This is no where near as good though sadly. Low budget, mainly filmed in a small apartment block. The story isn't as good and becomes fairly predictable by about the 5 episode. It felt like a bit of a slog to finish even at 8 episodes. Stick to the first 2 series.

A disappointing thrill ride

Contains spoilers, click to show

What started as a great film that had a solid story, also had moment's of "please don't pull this crud again" which ended with both sighs of relief and of annoyance but was going well until the end, now I wont say what happened but I am saddened by netflix giving another unsatisfying end to an otherwise good movie, you may feel differently but this is my opinion.

So aside from the ending, this was an enjoyable, on the edge of your seat movie....with an almost completely obvious ending.

Ok Sci-Fi

Watched this Netflix original last night. The storyline is pretty good, set in the near future where some people have various powers but are restricted by law to use them. A group decide to use their powers to make some easy money.
Very similar to @X2: X-Men United (2003) and elements of @Chappie (2015) @Chronicle (2012) it's ok and some good action scenes but would have been better with a bigger budget for more action scenes. It slows down a fair bit in the final 3rd.

holy wowza!!

I LOVED this film. The pacing, the cinematography, the characters, the plot, literally everything about it. I loved the details and the fact that it felt real. I think sometimes films like these, especially ones Netflix does, can have the intentions of being real but they just aren't. I think there's a little bit of Ellie, of Paul, of Aster, in all of us. I am in love with this film. Alice Wu knocked it out of the park and I can guarantee I will be watching this film over and over again. I am in love.
