Ignore the bad reviews. This movie is quite entertaining. I've given up on quite a few movies after about 20 minutes, but not this one.
Megan Fox was great as the robot housekeeper.
I will say this; if they ever create AI robots that look like Megan Fox and can do the things she did as the housekeeper, I'm all in! Where do I sign up?
I'll give this one 7 stars.

Of course this movie is silly, but it's also supposed to be funny. But unfortunately it's not very funny.....at all.
It's exactly what you would expect and the concept was funny the first time around. But all the same gags just don't work this time around. Maybe they would for the younger crowd who never saw the first one.
The best thing about the movie was seeing Paige Spiranac. She has a great personality and is absolutely gorgeous. I love her!
I'll give this one 2 stars and that's a stretch.

I thoroughly enjoyed this movie.
For pure entertainment value it was well worth the price of a ticket.
It followed the tried and true Jurassic Park formula and I knew exactly what to expect. But it was so well done. It's a good story with engaging characters that you actually care about.
The effects were awesome and the scenery was amazing. If I had any complaint it would be that I don't think there is really a need to keep introducing genetically modified dinosaurs; the originals are just fine and provide plenty of scares. But that's a minor thing.
Pretty neat that Scarlett was in this. It was a bit of a departure for her in that it didn't showcase her looks although she looked fine just the same.
Very entertaining. A solid 9.

I tried, but this movie is incredibly boring. I don't watch many movies and I think thirty minutes is more than enough time to capture my attention. This did not do it.
I had no idea what was going on and the two lead characters were weird. Daniel Kaluuya comes across as mentally challenged, and Keke Palmer talks like a child and is extremely annoying. She needs to tone it down a notch and speak normally.
The movie had potential but like I said, thirty minutes in, and it was going nowhere. This is supposed to be a horror movie, but the only horror I see is that this movie was even made!
I give it one star.

How in the world does this crap rate a 7.7 on this site? And where are all the 10.0 ratings coming from? The cast?
Come on people; get real. This is on par with Sharknado on SyFy! If you can make it past the second episode you are doing well.
I like the idea of snow falling in summer and people freaking out. But I have also wondered why film makers struggle to film snow scenes. It doesn't snow when the sun is out. The sky should be overcast and dark, not bright and sunny? I guess if you have a tight budget you have to take whatever weather you get (if you are filming outside).
The actors do an okay job; they just didn't have anything to work with.

An okay watch if nothing else is on, but be warned. It's very long. Lots of gun play as well, so maybe turn the volume down a bit.
It starts off interestingly enough but the longer it goes the more boring it gets. You know how it's going to end; you just want to hurry up and get to it.
Butler's character is a jerk. Very unappealing. I found myself actually hoping it doesn't end well for him! I find this to be typical whenever he plays a cop. He's much better as a normal guy.
The last heist is very slow and drawn out; so much so that I struggled to stay awake. Again, just hurry up and get it over with.
Again, ok if nothing else is on. I give it a 4.
A 7 is way too high.

It's not a bad movie; it's okay for a late night watch. But it lacks real suspense and tension.
I guess this passes for a suspenseful movie in other countries but not in the US. Sadly, we have become so desensitized by the constant barrage of violent news in this country that this movie simply doesn't register, at least for me. One guy taking one hostage in an Apple Store doesn't cut it. He's not deranged or violent enough. He has demands but nothing as crazy as we sometimes see.
In addition the officers are too nice. Professional and efficient, but very calm. American officers are typically depicted as much more hardened, unhinged, and stupid.
Overall an ok movie, but no better than a 4.

I started watching this and after it was over, I wish I hard turned it off about 10 minutes in.
It's slow, and oh so painful to watch. It would have been better suited to maybe a 20 minute short.
The actor did a good job with what he had which is to say little to nothing. The entire movie is him interacting with a computer with a number of very confusing flashbacks.
I never really understood what was going on; who he was or why he was help captive. I fell asleep for a few minutes but missed nothing. That's how confusing and boring this was.
Even the ending was confusing.
All in all a jumbled mess that was extremely boring. Don't believe the high ratings.

What a weird movie.
It started off okay and somewhat normal. A new father, recently separated logs on to a dating site and hooks up with a strange woman. That's the extent of the normal part.
From that point on, the movie slowly takes a supernatural turn that I found quite confusing.
Ron Perlman is on board as a disgraced doctor that tries to warn the young father of the dangers of the woman he has contacted, however his link to the woman is not completely explained.
There are a lot of soft core sex scenes that I found to be a lot more disgusting than titillating.
All in all, a disjointed, confusing mess. I give it a 2 at best.

I'm still watching season 1; so far, so good.
Update; I finished season 1, but gave up on season 2 as it became repetitive and boring.
I still think Keifer Sutherland is too short to play a president! He has no presidential presence whatsoever. His acting is fine; but he just can't overcome his small stature for a character like this. The scenes where he needs to be tough and confrontational come across as comical when he's looking up at his adversary!
Otherwise, the story is fine, although a bit predictable. It's easy to spot the good guys and those who are conspiring against the president.
As I mentioned season 1 was okay; what I saw of season 2 sucked, and I gave up on it.

This movie is entertaining if there is nothing else on. The plot is silly; the magnetic poles somehow reverse and the ocean drains to the other side of the earth? And the speed at which it happens is comical. Miles of water goes missing in a matter of hours? Sure....
The family is pretty stupid as well, especially the mom. She spends most of the time being hysterical and moaning. Terrible actress.
The movie itself is frustrating to watch in that for a while they are speaking English, then about halfway through they switch to French. To make matters worse, the captioning for the movie is the worst I've ever seen. Often makes no sense whatsoever.
The ending of the movie is unsatisfying and pretty stupid.
I give it a 3 at best. Okay if you have absolutely nothing else to watch.

I made it through an hour of this mess and I can't take it any longer. I just don't have the patience to watch a movie hoping that something, anything, will happen.
What is it supposed to be; a drama, horror, comedy, mystery, what? I have no idea. Why is it set in the 1950's.
Maybe all this is answered later in the movie, but like I said, I just don't have the patience to sit through it. Also, I always picture Chris Pine in Star Trek. I find it hard to picture him in anything else.
This movie is evidently geared to a specific type of audience, one that I am not a part of. I'll give it a 2 at best.

I'm not a student of acting but watching this movie, you cannot help but notice the superb acting job by Sean Patrick Flanery..
How he was able to remember his lines I will never know. It was amazing. The mannerisms, the facial contortions were equally amazing.
The story itself was riveting. No gun battles, no car chases, no foul language, but it will certainly maintain your attention. It's also quite spooky.
The ending was a bit unexpected. A little preachy for my taste but interesting nonetheless. The addition of Glenn Beck was interesting.
This movie is definitely worth a watch. Give it a chance and appreciate the superb acting.

The second season has become almost unwatchable. It has become standard TV fare. Think Colombo, Matlock, CSI......crap like that. The plot is obvious as are the good guys and the bad guys. There will eventually be a fleeting love interest for Reacher. There's the police antagonist who eventually becomes friends with Reacher. Very predictable.
Reacher is always getting in fights but never seems to get a scratch or a bruise? He's not even sore the next day after getting shot, stabbed, or clubbed with a tire iron. Amazing.
As others have said, they should have kept the storyline as Reacher working independently. The character is much better as a loner with no close ties.
All in all, this series needs better writing.

I invested too much time in this one to give up, but I should have. After about 90 minutes, I found myself fast forwarding to hurry up and get this thing over with. I would stop every so often on a scene that looked interesting, but no, it was still confusing and boring.
The movie is set 8,000 years in the future. Strange that the technology doesn't seem to be as advanced as it should have been. The special effects are good and for the most part it's a visually appealing movie. I found the most interesting thing to be the worms. I would have liked to have seen more of them.
Overall, I found it hard to tell the good guys from the bad. Again, a confusing movie to follow.
I give it a 2 out of 10.

A CGI extravaganza starring Dwayne Johnson. I watched this one but I don't really know why. Mainly because of Johnson. His charisma comes through in anything he does.
In this one he stars as Seth Adams. His sidekicks are Pierce Brosnan as the Golden Helmet. Then there's Eagle Man, Smoke Girl, and Nerd Boy. Eagle Man has golden wings and a club, the girl spins around in smoke, and nerd boy becomes a 100 foot nerd. Brosnan can see the future when he dons his super duper golden helmet. It's all very confusing.
I also was confused as to the timing. At times it seemed to be 2600 BC, other times the future, and other times the present. Who knows.
It's a mess and your basic DC Comics good vs evil story.
If you like over the top CGI and Dwayne Johnson you'll probably like this. If not, you won't make it through 20 minutes.

Interesting movie that I think will hold your attention; it held mine. Good cast headed up by Julia Roberts as the skeptical mom that seemingly hates everyone.
Roberts and Hawke rent a luxurious home for a relaxing weekend getaway at the shore.
However a series of strange occurrences take place that has everyone trying to guess what is going on. It seems to be a massive blackout with an unknown cause but may be something more. There is no internet and no TV so there is no way to find out.
The homeowners return to the home that evening and interrupt the vacation wanting to stay until things can be sorted out.
The tension builds as they all try to determine what is going on and what to do next. However, there are few answers. You're left to make your own guess as to what happened, and the fate of the characters. The ending is especially unfulfilling.
Could there be a sequel? Doesn't seem likely.

Saw this movie today and I must say it is incredibly long and BORING.
I could have used some back story as to what was going on, as the movie jumped right in. Where did Oppenheimer come from? How did he get here? How did he know Einstein?
I found it difficult to keep up with the characters. People came and went and I wasn't sure who was who. It didn't help that the sound in the theater was set very loud so it was difficult to understand everything that was said. I could sure use captions on a movie like this.
I get the feeling this one will be better the second time around, after you have had a chance to do a bit of research.

This movie had potential but it is unbelievably slow and boring. Then there is the main character who is a screwed up alcoholic that is totally unappealing. She has no personality and is ugly to boot. She's basically comatose for the entire movie and we never understand why?
The rest of the characters are stupid and just going through the motions. Basically you're waiting the entire movie for something to happen but it never does. No good special effects, just a bunch of boring, nonsensical flashbacks. There is a bit of a twist at the end but by then, you'll find yourself just wishing this crap would end and that you could get this two hours back.
I did notice that a description of the movie said that a meteor landed in Australia but the movie indicates Pennsylvania???

This movie is stupid and incredibly boring. A bunch of disgusting old people flipping out for no reason.
In between, it's a bunch of useless boring dialog accompanied by a somber musical score. There's very little character development, and what little there is doesn't add to the movie. You really don't care about the characters at all.
I still don't understand who is who and more importantly, I don't really care. I give it one star.
Lately, Netflix has been very disappointing. There is very little new stuff and what little there is, is boring stuff like this movie. I think it's time to cancel my subscription.
Tubi is better.

I made it through an hour of this movie but couldn't take it anymore. It was sooooo long and nothing happened. And I mean NOTHING.
To make matters worse, the boyfriend Jay was the worst. The guy lacked any personality, and was quite mean to his girlfriend Sarah. His cousin Julia was another weirdo. No personality and very rude. Any normal woman would have run as far and as fast as she could from these creeps. Why Sarah was with a guy like Jay was a mystery.
Anyway, maybe the end of the movie was worth the wait, but I doubt it. I just couldn't take it anymore.
If you have 90 minutes to waste, go for it. I'd rather watch paint dry.

I like movies that are set on the water. This was set on a very nice sail boat sailing from California to Hawaii.
The main character is a bit of a weenie in my opinion. He's a wealthy physician whose wife of 37 years has recently passed. His grown children have recommended that he take this sailing trip as a way to clear his head and get some time to himself. However he needs help and puts an ad out for a couple of people to assist with the trip. That's where the other two characters come into play; a young couple Mike and Karen.
Mike, who is a bit of a hot head, says he has sailing experience, while Karen has none. The three get along fine to begin with, but the relationship sours as the trip continues.
As I mentioned the doctor is a mild mannered weenie. Mike is a hot head prone to jealousy, and Karen is basically eye candy. You can probably guess what happens.
At best I give this 2 stars for the setting.

I don't know what to say other than...... no. This is an odd movie. Once you start watching you'll probably stick with it to find out what happens, been when it's over, you'll wish you hadn't.
There are a lot of unanswered questions the least of which is what exactly is happening to the young woman. She's definitely got something more than an STD.
The other thing is why is she and others so oblivious to what's happening to her. Any normal person would be in the emergency room at the first sign of some of the things she was experiencing. And in her advanced stage people around her would run away at the mere sight of her.
They certainly wouldn't kiss her!

I didn't know quite what to expect with this movie, but it quickly drew me in.
Both the story and the acting are superb. The heroine is one tough no nonsense cookie. She can't seem to catch a break, always running into unscrupulous types, but she stands her ground and doesn't take any crap. She really wanted to pursue her career but it became increasingly evident that she needed some other way to pay her bills.
There are some mildly violent parts, but what I really liked was that there were no guns! I hope this is a trend in Hollywood. Making a good action/drama movie without guns. The lack of guns did not detract from the movie in any way.
All in all, a very good movie well worth your time.

The story itself is hard to believe. To think that someone in the public eye is stupid enough to do something that is so sleazy is shocking. Here the Falwell's have this persona of being straight laced ultra religious people, and set high moral standards for students at the university, yet they secretly engage in all sorts of sleazy activities. Disgusting.
As an aside, reading some of the negative reviews by Trump supporters I had to laugh. Many said that the second half of the movie tried to make trump and the republicans look bad. LOL! Trump does a pretty darn good job of that all by himself. Lighten up people.
