tapestry100 (306 KP) rated Ready Player One in Books

Originally reviewed on http://www.frommybookshelf.com
I feel like I may be on of the last people to have gotten around to reading this dystopian scifi thriller, but I'm glad I finally listened to it (I downloaded it off of Audible). While Cline's necessity to drop some 80s reference (however obscure) in what seems like every other paragraph started to feel a little forced by the end, it was still a rollicking good story, and any 80s kid will completely dig this.

Good plot line. Writing style was decent, but not stellar. I liked the unique protagonist, and the characters were likable. While I like the fact that their recruits had a variety of backgrounds and skills, some of it wasn't believable. Some of the characters were really good at semi-common skills, but still made me wonder how they ended up with the agency.

This sci-fi thriller turned out WAY better than I expected. The description only scratches the surface of this well paced Keanu Reeves flick. The acting was great and the cinematography/effects were just right. The story unfolds beautifully with plenty of twists and turns throughout. I only found a few things predictable but it definitely didn't take away from the thought-provoking intensity of the story. If you're a sci-fi lover like me you'll really enjoy this film. Worth a watch!

Interesting
Decided to look this one up when I saw the show coming out. Very captivating movie. Low budget but well done. The concept isn't completely original - government attempting to create perfect soldier, etc - but was definitely told in an interesting way. The acting and cinematography were good. I would've appreciated subtitles in the scenes where other languages were spoken, but, it is what it is. Overall a decent action thriller with a unique protagonist and storyline. Worth a watch!

Dork_knight74 (881 KP) rated Tau (2018) in Movies
Jul 16, 2018
Watched a new Netflix original called "Tau". It's a sci-fi thriller about a girl (Maika Monroe) kidnapped by a scientist to experiment on her, coding AI from peoples emotions. She escapes his prison but ends up stuck in his house under the scientist's watch with the assistance of his AI controlled house. Very good acting and story. The effects were pretty impressive and the cinematography was very well done. Netflix continues to make very good original content. Worth a watch!

Well that was a rollercoaster of a book! But boy was it awesome! I love a good mystery and this delivered on mystery and thriller and it had twists and turns and I loved every single second of it. it threw me for loops and it ended up the way I had expected(somewhat) though I had expected something slightly different I was pretty spot on with the ending! So exciting, I can't wait to read more books by this author.

Decent remake
Didn't have high hopes for this when I originally saw at the theatre, but I was pleasantly surprised. Haven't just rewatched, it holds up as a decent horror thriller with some great make up gore, work with wax (obviously) and some gruesome horror kill scenes.
It's your typical young adults stranded in backwater USA when the ghouls come out to play, but I found it entertaining if you don't think about it too much.

Sep 30, 2018 (Updated Sep 30, 2018)
This turned out to be one heck of a thriller. Netflix did it again. Very dark and intense tale that takes place in Alaska. Reading the description barely touches the surface of the movies depth. The story played out great and the acting was very good. The imagery and cinematography were very well done. It's a fairly violent movie so may not be for kids. I'd watch it first and decide for yourselves though, parents. REALLY worth a watch though.
