Dota: Dragon's Blood (2021)
What's the story again?
After watching a couple of episodes in s2 I had to go back to s1 to try to understand what I was watching. This is the first time ever I think. I fail to see what the main story is. It seems that it is made up of a bunch of side quests only. Lotus flowers being stolen... war over of some goddess... dragons here and there... a demon corrupting here and there... some elf mage who seem to be able to take down everyone... a new elf goddess but not really... power restored to the old goddess because of flowers I guess... and then finally... some other dragon guy in disguise that literally just appeared in the last two episodes (was he the main antagonist all of a sudden?). This show is all over the place. Pacing is just weird. Character building non existing. But you got a Mary Sue lead that in the end just consumes the world in sun beams and saves the day.. I guess? No fighting required really, woke saves the day... yey!
Ex Machina (2014)
Predictable, slow and boring
This movie was trying to be clever and deep. I don't get the other reviewers here saying "I didn't expect that". The plot was so unbelievable predictable. It is as deep as a shallow puddle. The movie could have been so much more. It could have explored more in depth why the robot Ava wanted to escape. Or why they got so aggressive in the end. It made as much sense as a child wanting to kill their parents for hiding their toy. Never experienced controlling parents? Do I want to kill them for being that? Of course not. Others mention complete plot holes as well, such as Ava needing charging, the helicopter guy, or why Ava suddenly can and more importantly WANT to hack the command protocol of other robots (first time she meets them) and "speak their language". Completely ridiculous. In the end you are left with a very simple "prison break" plot. A boring and slow one too.
The coolest scene is the dancing scene with Oscar Isaac. That was enjoyable. Great performance otherwise too by him. That is why this movie gets a 6/10. Without him it would have been a 4. Not worth your time. Very disappointed.
