Exploring the Futuristic World of "Altered Carbon" on Netflix
In the ever-evolving landscape of science fiction, Netflix's "Altered Carbon" stands out as a captivating and thought-provoking series that delves into the possibilities of the future. This live-action series, set in a distant time when humanity has made remarkable scientific advancements, offers a glimpse into a world where the transfer of consciousness from one body to another is not only possible but commonplace. The central premise of "Altered Carbon" revolves around the concept of "stacks" – small, implanted devices that store an individual's memories and personality. This revolutionary technology allows people to essentially "download" their consciousness into new bodies, known as "sleeves," effectively granting them the ability to cheat death and live for centuries. The series follows the story of Takeshi Kovacs, a former elite soldier who is brought back to life after being in storage for 250 years. Kovacs is tasked with solving a murder mystery, which leads him on a journey that delves deep into the complexities of this futuristic society. One of the most captivating aspects of "Altered Carbon" is the way it explores the societal implications of this technological advancement. The series presents a stark contrast between the upper and lower classes, with the wealthy elite living in luxurious, sun-drenched skyscrapers while the majority of the population toils in the dimly lit, gritty lower levels of the city. This divide highlights the potential for power and wealth to corrupt, as the privileged few who can afford to transfer their consciousness become increasingly detached from their humanity. The series masterfully examines how the fear of death can be alleviated, leading to a loss of empathy and a disregard for the lives of those deemed less valuable. Through Kovacs' character arc, the series offers a nuanced perspective on the human condition. Initially portrayed as a ruthless mercenary, Kovacs gradually evolves into a more empathetic and morally complex individual, challenging the notion that those with power and longevity are inherently superior. The series' impressive visual aesthetics, from the sleek, futuristic cityscapes to the seamless integration of advanced technology, further enhance the immersive experience. The attention to detail in the world-building, coupled with the captivating performances of the ensemble cast, make "Altered Carbon" a truly engaging and thought-provoking viewing experience. While the series was unfortunately canceled after its second season, the profound questions it raises about the implications of technological advancement, the nature of humanity, and the corrupting influence of power continue to resonate long after the final credits roll. "Altered Carbon" stands as a testament to the power of science fiction to explore the boundaries of human existence and challenge our preconceptions about the future.
Spring Palm Hulu movie
This was referred to me by one of my friends i was expecting nothing however This movie delivered a light hearted fun story, is a movie that was fun to watch is not a blockbuster movie but has a potential to be popular.
By bringing a very simple idea of being trapped in a time loop has a very similar story development like 50 first dates is not crazy romantic but is more to the crazy side of two people getting to know each other by reliving the same day just being spontaneous about how they spending their day.
The story never gets complicated by keeping as simple as possible the story doesnt get out of hand and always stays with the same idea, by doing this the story is enjoyable and fast pace that after you finish watching it gives a feeling of enjoyment and that you experience a different movie very unique to what we have being getting now.
Give it a try and let me know what you guys think.
ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS NETFLIX ANIMATED SERIES REVIEW
Its one of the biggest hidden gems 💎 that has come to Netflix, its a bench watch i was able to finish it in one day.
I have to confess i knew nothing about the video game that inspired this series by expecting nothing, i was able to really enjoy this series.
This season feels like is two different seasons do to time skips however this helps build the story and build it for a great season finally. In this series every single action has a consequence that might be positive or negative for different characters, by executing this there are so many surprises that are very unexpected.
The story feels like it was develop with the ending already being a factor , very well developed complex story that makes you want to keep watching, the sad events that happen in the beginning of the story help shape the entire future for each of the characters. The sad events are very important because those events hold the key of people staying to see what happens in the next episode.
The fight scenes feels like it was choreographed by real people to be animated very detailed and fast pacing with amazing fight scenes that make you want more and enjoy each fight like is the last.
The cast voicing each character made the difference by putting a very real life emotion into this animated characters this helps them bring them to life and deliver a very unforgettable experience, this is a must watch show if you are into Japanese anime or American style animated shows.
Thank you Netflix for giving us Arcane
COWBOY BEBOP LIVE ACTION NETFLIX SHOW REVIEW
HEY HOW ARE YOU GUYS? THANK YOU FOR READING THIS REVIEW . LETS GET RIGHT INTO THE REVIEW I JUST WATCH THE ANIME 1 WEEK BEFORE WATCHING THE LIVE ACTION SHOW AND THIS MIGHT HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH MY REVIEW BECAUSE THE ANIME FELT LIKE THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT OF THE SHOW THAT SHOULD OF BEEN FOLLOW AS BLUE PRINTS TO MAKE A SUCCESSFUL SHOW.
THIS SHOW HAS A LOT OF GREAT THINGS THAT BLEW MY MIND LETS START IN ORDER…..
1. THE CAST I THINK IT WAS AMAZING HOW THE ANIME CHARACTERS AND THE LIVE ACTION CHARACTERS LOOK 75 PERCENT THE SAME IS VERY DIFFICULT TO BRING ANIME CHARACTERS TO THE REAL WORLD BUT NETFLIX DID IT INCREDIBLE. THE COSTUMES LOOK ALMOST TO THE ONES FROM THE ANIME I IMAGINE THE MONEY AND TIME THAT HAD TO BE PUT INTO MAKING THOSE ANIME LOOKS COME TO LIFE, I HAD TO GIVE IT TO NETFLIX THEY WENT ALL OUT WITH MAKING THE LOOKS BE AS REALISTIC AS IT COULD GET.
2. THE SPACESHIP AND PLANETS ITS VERY DIFFICULT TO MAKE CGI LOOK REALISTIC HOW EVER THEY WERE ABLE TO RECREATE THE WORLDS, SHIPS AND SPACE TRAVELING VERY GOOD AND NOT BE ANY LESS QUALITY THAN A HIGHER BUDGET MOVIE THIS MOTIVATED ME TO WATCH THE LIVE ACTION.
THIS LIVE ACTION HAD SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR A VERY SUCCESFUL MASTER PIECE THAT WOULDNT DISSAPOINT HOWEVER THE BIGGEST MISTAKE IS MADE WHEN ADAPTING ANIME TO LIVE ACTION IS THE WRITERS AND DIRECTORS DO NOT WATCH THE SHOWS OR ARE NOT FANS , THIS IS A BIG ISSUE BECAUSE THEY MAKE CHANGES THAT ACTUALLY MAKE THE SHOW TAKE A DIFFERENT ROAD THAT DOESNT MAKE SENSE TO THE FANS AND THAT ACTUALLY IS WHAT MADE THE ANIME BE UNIQUE AND BREATH TAKING.
IF YOU DONT WANT SPOILERS THIS IS THE TIME TO ACTUALLY TO STOP READING…. IM GOING TO POINT OUT THE BIGGEST ISSUE THAT ACTUALLY MADE THE SHOW FAILED IN MY EYES .
WHAT MADE SPIKE FIGHT TO THE END IS THE LOVE HE HAD FOR JULIA, SAME GOES FOR JULIA SHE LOVE HIM. THE NETFLIX LIVE ACTION SHATTERS THIS BY MAKING JULIA BE MARRY TO VICIOUS. AT THE END OF SEASON 1 SHE TRIES TO KILL SPIKE BY SHOOTING HIM IN THE CHURCH THIS CHANGE IN THE STORY MAKES PEOPLE THAT HAVE WATCH THE ANIME LOSE THE INTEREST IN WATCHING THE LIVE ACTION.
THE STORY TELLING IS ALL OVER THE PLACE , THE CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER OF THE SHOW IS ALL OVER THE PLACE THE ONLY EPISODE IS THE SAME IS THE FIRST ONE BUT CHANGES TO THE STORY AFTER THAT STORIES THAT ARE TOWARDS THE END OF THE ANIME ARE ACTUALLY AT THE BEGINING.
THE STORY CHANGES THAT THEY DO TO THE STORY MAKE A NEGATIVE IMPACT TO THE WHOLE PLOT LINE , MAKES IT UNNECESSARY COMPLICATED FOR NO REASON AND DISSAPOINTING CHANGES THAT FEEL VERY DRASTICAL THAT CHANGE THE MEANING OF THE ANIME. THE WAY THEY MEET FAYE IS TOO SIMPLE AND NEEDED A MORE EXCITING PLOT LIKE THE ANIME, THEY MAKE JET’S LIFE TOO COMPLICATED AND ADDED TO MUCH TO HIS LIFE. VICIOUS LIFE IN THE LIFE ACTION GETS A WHOLE BACKSTORY WE NEVER HAD.
I THINK THIS ARE THE MAJOR CHANGES THAT I CAN POINT OUT IN THE SHORTEST AMOUNT OF TIME , THIS IS WHAT KILLED THE SHOW CHANGES TO THE STORY MAKING IT COMPLIATED FOR NO REASON. THE LOOKS AND ACTING WAS 10 IN THE SCALE AND IS WHAT MADE ME WATCH UNTIL THE END EVEN THOUGH AT THE END I HATED THIS ADAPTATION AND I THINK IT WAS A HORRIBLE ADAPTATION.
PRISON SCHOOL ANIME REVIEW
Welcome back to read our review blog about this unique anime found, by neovintage gaming. First we start by pointing out this is a rated R type of anime with a lot of nudity and sexual content that is for the mature audience, by specificing that we dive into the anime.
Prison school story starts off as 5 boys students are accepted into a school that previously only accepted girls bringing their teenager sexual curiosity as the main focus of the whole anime, they have never dated or kiss a girl by the way the writers explain this is very funny.
Not long after being in school they get in trouble by trying to see the girls taking a bath and this is the situation that puts them into prison that the school has, the prison is run by 3 girls that have 3 different attributes from martial arts, body strenght and the leader that makes all the schemes possible.
This anime has its very unique idea and flow that i havent get from another anime, its very rated r and its in the border of a HBO live action with some very rated r scenes that almost cross the line to hentai. Still is a very funny and well develop anime with a lot of comedy that makes you laugh with some twist that are very unexpected.
Overall i enjoyed it as a very stand alone genre of anime it delivered what i love of anime a very entertaining story , even if the sexual content is unnecessary and sometimes too edgy. Is not a family oriented anime for sure but it does hold like a good anime that i would rewatch because of the funny moments it brings, by this being express i think this anime deserves a 7 by its complex and still entertaining fun story, the sexual content was very unnecessary and sometimes too strong for an anime.
THANK YOU FOR READING.
Amazon Prime Invincible
I never had heard of the Invincible comics series until Amazon prime gave us the trailer and honestly I didn't expected much from it, but like always Amazon prime blew my mind with the quality of action story and how good this is only rival by the boys.
What makes it so good you asked??? Let me give you a whole detail list of it
1. Yes omni man is a superman spoof without the abilities that make superman a boring character this character can actually get hurt , no laser vision no freezing your coffee but has the speed, strength of the man of steel. By this default rules he is able to get injured very bad and we see this through the whole season and that gives it a very entertaining aspect to it a more real factor. You see him bleed , get tired and almost died this makes this so good because it always has you expected more.
2 Invincible is actually the son of omni man let’s say super boy we see the journey of a powerless teenager become a full fledged hero that actually cares about the people of the world. His journey is portrayed very closely fun and with a lot of action. His potential is as great as his father what I think it makes this better is that he doesn't become a hero from day to night at the end of the season he still hasn't developed the full potential of his power so it give us a more realistic sense of what would happen if someone actually became a real hero.
3. To be a show with so many different heroes they balanced well each character , giving each one enough time to shine and for us to cate about them.
As a whole animated series it’s a must and dont want to spoil it it has a very dark theme and is very rated R, it explores every aspect of what a world full of heroes and villains would be.
It’s a must watch it’s a 10 because innovation and how far they step into the darkness of what they can do about a superhero show.
BATMAN NINJA REVIEW IN 2021
WATCHING THIS UNIQUE MOVIE IN 2021 WAS A VERY INTERESTING EXPERIENCED. WHY DO YOU ASK ? WELL IS BECAUSE IS THE FIRST COMIC BOOK MOVIE I EVER WATCH THAT WAS TRANSFORMED INTO AN ANIME STYLE ANIMATED MOVIE.
UNIQUE IS THE BEST DESCRIPTION I CAN GIVE IT, IS NOT BORING AT ALL. THE MAIN STORY PLOT IS VERY EASY AND STICKS TO IT. I WILL DESCRIBED THE MOVIE AS PROS AND CONS IN THE NEXT SECTION BELOW.
PROS
1. ACTION IS ALWAYS THERE WITH AMAZING ANIME BASED FIGHTS THAT MAKE YOU FEEL YOU WATCHING SOME VERY NEW TO YOU , AS ANY ANIME HAS A VERY SIMPLE PLOT THAT IS THERE WITH A LOT OF EVENTS SHAPING THE CHARACTERS.
2. THE CHARACTERS NEW VISUALIZATION OF HOW THEY WOULD LOOK IN A MANGA IS VERY UNIQUE AND TAKES A WHOLE NEW ASPECT OF THE POTENTIAL THIS LOOK HAS WITH A LOT MORE DETAILS AND SHAPES .
3. THE STORY IS NOT DRAG OR EXTENDED FOR TIME PURPOSES IT FEELS THE TIME THEY SPENT BUILDING THE PLOT FROM BEGINNING TO END WAS GOOD TO SHOW ENOUGH ACTION , IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LONGER WOULD HAVE FELT FORCE.
IT WAS A FUN WATCH THAT WILL BE IN A UNIQUE GENRE IN MY BOOK.
CONS
1. THE WAY THEY MADE BATMAN CHARACTER AS VERY CARELESS, TRUSTING EVERY VILLAN AND VERY DISTRACTED PERSON THAT IS NOT A PERFECTIONIST IS THE WRONG PORTRAIT OF THE BATMAN WE HAVE SEEN THROUGH THE YEARS. THE BATMAN WE KNOW IS SO CARELESS FOR SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO GET AN UPPER HAND ON HIM IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
2 THE ROBOT FIGHTS FEELS STRAIGHT FROM POWER RANGERS, IT LEAVES SUCH A BAD TASTE WATCHING THAT EVERY ASPECT OF THAT IS SOMETHING UNNECESSARY IN THE BATMAN FRANCHISE. FEELS THAT THEY TRY TO HARD TO MAKE THAT SCENE THAT FELT VERY ILLOGICAL.
3 THERE ARE UNEXPLAINABLE TRANSFORMATION THAT DONT REALLY GO WITH THE CONTEXT OF THE STORY AND ARE UNEXPLAINABLE THAT KIND OF MAKES YOU WANT TO STOP WATCHING IT BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND IS A MANGA ANIME STYLE MOVIE BUT AT THE SAME TIME YOU WANT IT TO STAY TRUE TO ITS ROOTS.
AS A NEW STYLE OF ANIMATED MOVIE I THINK IS A FUN WATCH NOTHING I WOULD SAY CHANGE MY LIFE BUT DO NOT REGRET WATCHING IT.
WHY YOU SHOULD WATCH THE JUSTICE LEAGUE SNYDER CUT
AFTER THE ORIGINAL RELEASE OF THE JUSTICE LEAGUE MOVIE IN 2017 WE WERE LEFT WITH A HORRIBLE TASTE OF WHAT THE DC UNIVERSE HAD FOR US BUT WITH THE SNYDER CUT THAT BAD MOUTH TASTE WAS CHANGED AND IT BROUGHT TO LIGHT A MOVIE THAT IS EVERYTHING A DC FANBOY EVER WANTED. THIS VERSION OF THE MOVIE IS A 4 HOUR MOVIE DIVIDED INTO CHAPTERS, TO BE THIS LONG I WAS EXPECTING A MOVIE THAT WAS GOING TO DRAG AND ENDED UP JUST BEING STRETCH FOR HBO MAX PURPOSES BUT I WAS COMPLETELY WRONG , SNYDER MAKE THIS A WELL BALANCED MOVIE WITH A VERY DETAILED STORY OF EACH CHARACTER AND STILL WITH AMAZING ACTION FIGHTS.
THIS IS A MOVIE A FAN BOY CAN ACTUALLY WATCH MORE THAN ONCE BECAUSE THE QUANTITY OF INFORMATION AND EVENTS HAPPENING ARE OVERWHELMING BUT IS STILL OKAY IT MAKES THIS MOVIE EVEN BETTER IT MADE ME FEEL LIKE THE FIRST TIME I WATCH AVENGERS BUT FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE. EVERY MINUTE WAS WORTH THE WAIT, THIS VERSION ACTUALLY BLEW MY MIND WITH HOW THE SLOW MOTION ,FIGHT SCENES AND THAT COLOR GRADING SNYDER IS WELL KNOWN FOR.
HONESTLY THE #SNYDERUNIVERSE MUST BE RESTORE NO ONEHAS THE VISION TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO BRING THIS TO LIFE LIKE HIM WITH SUCH A WELL BALANCED MOVIE IN EVERY ASPECT. THIS MOVIE WAS MADE BY A FAN FOR THE FANS , I ACTUALLY SAY THIS IS A 10 A VERY AMAZING FILM.

THE FEED AMAZON PRIME SERIES REVIEW
The feed amazon prime tv series
Its a 10 episode amazon series that takes place in the UK the whole idea of the show is in the near future the technology we love so much and depend on it will not be control by our phones its will actually will be control directly from our brains. Brain implants will makes us an organic walking cellphone and computer but because of this the whole world becomes so much more depended on technology making humans more of an emotionally empty amimal, with this technology great challenge awaken.
Amazon had a very good and solid foundation to create a very epic and outstanding tv series that had a very good potential to become one of its greatest hits but as you can guess it didnt.
If you havent heard of it i wouldn't blame you , the show has a great 3 or 4 great starting episodes that explore the idea of the brain being Connected to the internet 24/7 the plot was building up into a mystery that was becoming very interesting sadly at the climax of the story its not executed well instead of going for a shorter but more epic series they took the long route that didnt end up in success. By making the story more problematic and adding too many problems and unnecessary characters it makes the dramatic aspect of the series feel force and the action some times feels out of place or illogical just making it it into a very extended unnecessary story that at the end ends up being over extended.
At the end of the series they leave it open for a second season that could have potential if they dont focus in too many characters and just try to explore a couple of the characters and instead of making them over dramatic or changing their personality in every episode , the character going back and forth in their ideas makes you loose interest. With a solid story that is shorter and more work to be very detail and mysterious this show has potential.
Over all this show is a 4 and only because of the unique idea they try to develop , hopefully the story telling improves if they ever have the chance to go for season two.
The One Netflix show
The One Netflix show
Its an 8 episode live action drama tv series that takes place in London very unique idea that takes the idea of social media, technology and dating mixes it up and makes an idea of what the future of dating can become.
The show has a very good idea that could of been develop more and had it bring a more efficient plot, it gives a very good 5 episodes that drag you in into it and keep you wanting more. The issues this series has is the stretching of the plot and creating unnecessary side stories or problems to prolong the show...bringing too many characters into the mix doesn't help even tho they try to make all their stories intertwined , feels force and doesn't grow naturally.
The main characters are very interesting at first but soon enough the magic is lost by making their life's unnecessary dramatic, i can actually can compare this show to amazon prime FEED VERY interesting at first then over developed story with unnecessary problems brings a great idea to ruin.
Loved the idea and the simplicity of the first episodes i do not think it has a bright future for a long run might not even make it to season 2, it has a very good foundation to actually create a very successful tv series acting is not the problem but the story is.
I would recommend the show but go in with low expectations so you can actually have a good time and dont get dissapointed.i think this show had it in it to be an 8 but because the writing issues stays at a solid 5.
