These days, it's rare to come across a film that truly lingers with you after the credits roll. So many movies are driven by CGI, fast-paced action, and perfectly choreographed fight scenes. They can be entertaining, no doubt about that, but after a while, they all start to blur together. Fun is fine, but cinema should also make us feel something deeper. It should make us think.
The Upside does exactly that. It makes you reflect, it makes you smile, and it gently stirs something inside you. It's not overly dramatic or emotionally manipulative, it hits just the right notes. The connection between the two main characters is genuine and moving, a kind of brotherly bond I hope we all experience in our own lives. It leaves you with a warm, lasting feeling. And that is a good thing.
Honestly, this is the kind of film everyone should watch; if only to pause for a moment and reconnect with what really matters amid the chaos of daily life. You won't regret it watching it, I promise.

As a longtime fan of Battlestar Galactica, I approached Blood & Chrome with a mix of curiosity and cautious optimism. But the great thing about this movie is that you don't need to be a die-hard BSG follower to enjoy it. Whether you're familiar with the larger universe or not, Blood & Chrome stands strong as a fast-paced, engaging sci-fi action film in its own right.
What makes this movie truly work is its balance. It delivers all the elements you'd expect from quality entertainment: gripping action sequences, emotionally grounded drama, sharp dialogue, and above all, a consistent sense of purpose and integrity that holds the entire story together. It doesn't try to be overly ambitious or bog the viewer down with excessive world-building. Instead, it focuses on telling a tight, compelling story with just the right mix of intensity and character.
The pacing is one of its greatest strengths. At under 90 minutes, Blood & Chrome doesn't overstay its welcome. It knows exactly what kind of story it wants to tell-and it does so efficiently, without filler. The result is a movie that's easy to watch, engaging from start to finish, and never boring.
In short, Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome is a worthy addition to the BSG universe, but also an accessible and thrilling standalone experience for newcomers. If you're in the mood for a sci-fi war story that delivers action, heart, and a sense of narrative integrity without overstaying its welcome, this is a film well worth your time.

This fantasy film isn't the best I've seen, nor the worst, but it's worth your time if you're open to its charm and novelty.
Many people struggle to enjoy it, overanalysing a plot not meant to be realistic. Instead, embrace the "what if" wonder of pure fantasy. At first, the story requires some effort to accept, but the reward is stunning CGI that brings vibrant worlds to life and action scenes that are genuinely brilliant.
Let go of logic, dive into the spectacle, and let your imagination roam. If you can suspend disbelief, this movie delivers a visually captivating experience that sparks curiosity and awe.
