Jurassic After Earth
Jurassic After Earth. With Good Girls.
This summarizes it for me. Yes, it is the After Earth story all over again. They added some dino's they borrowed from Jurassic World (or Park, I don't know but that does't matter). However, that is not the main point of the movie to me.
There are deep er themes here that I am not going to discuss here, as I hope you find them out yourselves. This 'more tegen just a dino movie' is beautiful shot. The cinematography is wonderful and the camerawork is easy on the eyes. There is mostly 'still' shots where you can actually see what is happening and that is a breath of fresh air compared to the blurry handheld mess that is usually the case in this type of movies.
Shout out to both girls in the movie. There where I was not surprised being impressed by Chloe Coleman's performance (as I like her in My Spy) here also Ariana Greenblatt does a great job. You start to care for her and feel why Adam Driver cares. Note that she almost has no lines, so all the character build up is coming from her performance, mostly facial expressions.
Some of the reviewers write that it does't make senseo that people 'like us' lived in 'that time'. I am sorry, but can you proof they heven't. And also, again, not the main point of the story. They could have stranded in the desert on their trip to Denver and the core of their story would still remain.

Laziness & effortless
And what is this? I think the producers and writers finally took notice of the criticism from the fans about the current season. Finally - at almost the end of the season, I might add. In the last two episodes they tried to go back to the old days, I guess. And it doesn't work. They just copy-pasted an old script and edited and tweaked it a little bit. And tweaked it in a bad way; it wasn't even funny.
Leonard has just become even more wailing than he already was. Penny is only absent or latent and Sheldon is not likable anymore. The actors earn $ 1,000,000 per episode and all they did here was respond to the storyline of Christine Baranski and Laurie Metcalf. My compliments to these two actresses by the way. They did all the acting, while the main actors just nodded or gasped or yelled.
I can't say anything about the other story. It was just some slapstick involving Howard and Stuart I guess. Bernadette becomes less lovable by every show, but Melissa Rauch is the only one who cares of any decent acting and is the funniest of the whole group. In both story lines they all act like toddlers what states that the characters just have become childish. It is like the show would better fit on Nickelodeon or the Disney Channel nowadays.
The actors and also writers and producers have become lazy here. The show will go on for two more seasons and the big bucks contracts are already signed. So why should they bother. In the beginning of the season it was still visible efforts were made. Only not in a way the audience liked it. Now it is like the makers just don't care anymore and don't take any effort to make something new that is creative and exciting. It is the laziness that just might kill this once so amazingly humorous show.
