Star Trek meets Aliens and Predators

There was a new episode of Star Trek this week! So, I watched it as soon as I got my hands on it!

This episode like the first one had a shaky start. It starts off with a time leap! Which is the sign of a downturn approaches? But, Star Trek really surprised me.

We will never know what happened in the 6 months after the death of Commander Ghenzhou. And what was Burnham up to after her death. Those 6 months are skipped by the show and we have introduced to Burnham again, while she is being transported to a new prison. On the way, however, we see her pilot die and she and the rest of the prisoners are rescued by SS Discovery. Star Trek Discovery is the name of the show and we get to see it in the third episode!

The story takes its time to get going. It does get to go when we see Burnham being recruited by the Captain of the Discovery on a rescue mission on another ship called Glenn. Weird name for a ship? Hell yes! But, once they are one Glenn the show's tone takes a sharp turn! It felt like I was watching an Aliens movie. Gone were the bright colours, we were now in a pitch black ship. With a predator like a creature on the loose. This creature is capable of easily killing a Klingon.

Telling you more about the story would spoil the whole episode for you. But, I can tell you this, this episode is a return to quality for Star Trek. The quality which we saw in the first episode. Now all I can hope is for the quality to continue.

King Arhur the legend of misfortune !

King Arthur the legend of the sword: Before it was slaughtered by the critics', this was supposed to be an origin story for our hero Arthur portrayed brilliantly by Charlie Hunnam and is directed by the Sherlock Holmes Director Guy Richie. Richie tries his best to tell the story which has been told by several others before him in a new and interesting way. To his credit, he even achieves that to some extent. The movie tells the story of Arthur son of Uther, who is raised in a brothel and has grown up to be a thug of some sorts. Later on, he discovers he is the true king. A reality which he is not willing to admit. The movie feels unusually grounded, even though it is filled with mages and giant Elephant and an Octopus lady. Guy Richie gives the viewer reason to care for our protagonist and even creates a good antagonist in Jude Law. Jude Law plays the uncle of Arthur and the killer of his father. The build-up to the big fight is gripping and the supporting cast is stellar. ...

KG please don't make me go through this again F!

Hello readers, I have been down and out for what? A year maybe. But, fear not I am back again and will again claim to publish new blogs frequently! So, I for some reason decided to try a film of the Kannnada language. That film was called KGF. The film is about a rebel who is born into poverty with only his mother (whom he loses early in the movie.). The movie is the first part of the two parted series. The sequel will release sometime I don’t know when. Now, let’s talk about the movie. The film fails to live up to the hype big time! The pressure from the society is what drove me into watching this “masterpiece”, only to find the same old Indian movie formula baked again with different actors. The story has been told several time, it is by no means new. Furthermore, the direction is poor and jarring at best. The action scenes are age old, hero making goons float with one punch, the acting is loud and tone deaf. The side characters have no layer, no motive. The villain is t...
