Aanrader: Hacks – serie op Netflix

Aanrader van Ilona. Binge waardig. Serie over een Egocentrische Diva en haar verwarrende grappen schrijfster. Intrigerend en irriterend of mooi emotioneel en schurend tegelijk.

Afrader: Atlas – film op Netflix

Ik weet dat je science-fiction niet met je verstand moet bekijken, maar tjeez, wat was deze film weer slecht. Zoveel stommiteiten, zo ongeloofwaardig en zo cliché. Om er maar een paar te noemen (spoiler-alert):

  • De schurk vertelt zijn plan aan de held.
  • Iedereen wordt op slag gedood, de held wordt (ook na zijn nut te hebben bewezen) in leven gelaten.
  • Iedereen wordt gedood met 1 of 2 kogels, de held overleeft duizenden kogels.
  • De held kan zogenaamd super schaken en dus vooruitkijken, maar dat gebeurt verder nergens in de film.
  • De kwade AI Harlan wordt gedood, maar hij zal toch wel een back-up in de cloud hebben?

Nee, geef mij maar de romantische J.Lo zoals in Maid in Manhattan.
