Black Knight

The acting is alright, not incredible, but better than most Netflix films these days. In the action scenes and emotional scenes they were quite bad. Though in some other scenes it was nice. I give the acting a solid 7.5/10.

The action and fighting scenes were really unrealistic and very bad, sure some of 'em were great, and Really drew me in, but others just made me roll my eyes and laugh. The stupidity of some of these characters and the unrealism was embarrassing to watch. The action: 6/10.

The cinematography and cgi is very well done, it makes it really feel like a dystopian show, (unlike others) with the amount of blood and dirt in some scenes really made it feel realistic. 9/10

Storyline; the storyline is nice. Not too basic but also quite basic. The main character being stronger than everyone for almost no reason, while also getting random people to line up to fight with him? It's been done too many times. But I'll take it with the ubiquity of the show and some (not many) of the characters. 7.5/10.

The show is set in a dystopian future where Earth is devastated by pollution and climate change, forcing humans to wear protective masks to survive. Visually, this show is an absolute treat. The series boasts stunning visuals and impressive special effects that bring the post-apocalyptic world to life. The action sequences are well-choreographed and manage to captivate viewers with their intensity. The cast delivers commendable performances. However, the series has its share of drawbacks. The plot, while engaging, follows a predictable trajectory, leaving little room for surprise. At times, the pacing can be sluggish, causing the narrative to lose momentum. Additionally, this show struggles with originality, drawing heavily from other post-apocalyptic works like Mad Max and The Walking Dead, which may dampen the experience for those seeking fresh concepts. This show is a solid sci-fi action series with breathtaking visuals and strong performances. It will likely appeal to fans of post-apocalyptic films and shows who appreciate well-executed action sequences. However, its predictable plot and occasional slow pacing prevent it from achieving true greatness. This show is recommended for viewers seeking visually stunning entertainment within a familiar genre. Those seeking groundbreaking originality may find themselves longing for more.

This has potential to be good but the story is too convoluted for me. Very hard to follow along. I feel like is better to make this 2 hour movie instead of a show to be honest. There's no depth in any of the characters, you don't feel invested in any of the characters. And there's some big actors in this show too. Some of the cgi looks very bad. The dialogue is awful. I love dystopian type of show/movie and this wasn't it. If you're hoping for a romance or comedy there ain't none. There's only like 6 episodes so you can probably binge watch it in a day. Overall I give this show a 5/10 ratings. Don't expect this to be like hunger games/divergent/maze runner because is not.

Even the battle of winterfell had better lighting than this show. And when it's not shot indoors in near total blackness, it's outside with that yellow 'Mexico' filter we've seen in Breaking Bad and Narcos.

I couldn't even go past the first episode as I was struggling to see what the hell was happening.

It feels like a low budget action flick that had great hopes and yet it was disappointing.

If you're planning on watching this, don't do it over daytime.

PS. Like some other user mentioned - the face masks are filer masks not oxygen masks so they don't work unless you suspend your disbelief.

If you're nitpicking this show for hard science and logic and reason, your brain will implode. If you give it the benefit of the doubt and consider it a simple resolution to filming some entertainment during mask mandates in the covid pandemic, then we can work with that.

It's hard to establish hard science rules and lore for dystopic worlds to begin with, for a Netflix show, this is pretty damn good, it's no 'Black Mirror' but there's only so many Charlie Brooker's in the world.

So, if you want to binge and kill a weekend over some mindless action that takes you into sci-fi tropes with some cheesy CGI without a poorly executed will-they-won't-they romance, let's go. Bet.
