Well, I'm now into episode 7. Which is further than most reviews go. I kind of enjoy the show, because it's something new but the quality is so bad. Let's start with what is good from my point of view. The sets seem to be very well crafted, and I like Merlins cape. Other than that it is utter rubbish. The writing is trash, most of the acting is trash, the costumes are trash. The over-the-top violence is just so plainly used to give this whole series a "grown-up-feeling". If you want to watch some good fantasy for grown-ups: watch "THE WITCHER"!!!!! Seriously. Nothing really worth seeing here.

I was expecting an action movie. But what I got was so much more. The understanding of greed today is quite buntly depicted by the bad boy CEO. But it is in that bluntness, where the truth lies. Mankind wants to have more. It's not satisfied by completely destroying this earth and each other by war and pollution. But the highest reach of them all is immortality. Mankind wants to live forever, completely denying that the earth could never hold as many people, as it is already overcrowded. The complete negation of this is shown in this movie. And the other side shows the people who lived with humanity for so or too long. They have seen war, seen cruelty and have enough of it. They didn't choose their existence but have to live with it whether they want to or not. Although irrationally fantastic, reality lies in the fact, that we do know our past. We can learn or read about history and know our failings, know what has been and what we could do better. But a vast majority just wants to reach that greedy ultimate goal immortality as the highest act of dominating the kosmos. But as Andromeda first said, that god doesn't exist, she later tells Booker to have a little faith in regard to what comes 'after'. I think everybody should think about this movie on a meta level. It's worth it.

I didn't have very high hopes for this animation movie. The trailer looked alright and I wanted to have a good time watching something light. But it turned out to be something quite different. I cried 4 times. One time really hard. I laughed out loud at least 3 times and was on the edge of my seat at least 2. That says a lot already. The deeper meaning of wonderpark was really moving, as in face of a tragedy we often loose sight of what could make us happy or even just balance out our feelings. For me it was like a manifestation of June's feelings in form of those animals, and she had to understand them and get back into contact with herself. I think the movie also is (from a gender point of view) depicting marvellously how girls are smart, full of inventions and motivation. How you can inspire other people and give some happieness to the world around you, if you share your inspiration. I just loved the whole thought that went into the messages behind it all.

The only, really only thing I kind of thought of as a little overboard were the "antagonists"... Although I liked the feeling of not having to invest in the character of a real bad guy. ;)
