Ultraman straight up commits genocide against 60 billion lifeforms in this episode. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Hard to give this a rating, as I only made it about a quarter of the way through the film. It moves very slowly, and the are seemingly unnecessary time jumps that make making sense of anything somewhat difficult. Sometimes it jumps a few days ahead or back, sometimes it seems to jump years ahead.

All I know is that it seemed not worth it to continue. There’s so much content out there that it was obvious that there was no point in wasting time on this. From what I did watch, I’d give this 2/5.

Second episode is nearly as good as the first, even though they don’t play any games. It shows more about the players’ lives and actually gave us a reason to care about them.

The main guy in this was such a complete a-hole that I was HOPING something horrible would happen to him.

The best part of this film is the way Norman uses the bad guy’s own dog to track him down. Phoenix is kinda cool too. Everything else is a bit contrived. From the bad guys showing up at his house with enough force to take down a well-armed street gang, all the way up to how they were planning to do a heart transplant with two conscious patients in a dirty hovel, not much seemed the last bit plausible. I do like how they sorta explained how inept the bad guys were by implying they were probably using some of their own product. All-in-all though, this was still watchable. 2.5/5 for me.

I thought this was interesting and definitely worth a watch if you like beat em’ up movies. They tried something different, which you gotta give them credit for. 3.5/5 stars.

I will say that the one car chase scene was better and more realistic than anything I’ve seen in any Fast and Furious movie. haha

I’ve gotta say, at no point in this movie did I care one bit about Tree. She spends the first 2/3rds of the movie bring a completely unlikeable person, and then only becomes halfway decent in the third act mainly as a means of self-preservation. I will say though, that she had some truly remarkable reaction time. Anytime the killer was about to strike, she used her catlike reflexes to escape the initial kill attempt. Whether it was dodging knives or bullets, she was a welcome change to movies where the potential victim(s) stand around for precious life-saving seconds looking dumbfounded while waiting for an attacker to make their move.

Overall, I’d give this a 3.5/5 for successfully recycling Groundhog Day’s plot and enhancing it with a murderous theme.

Good watchable movie. The only parts I really didn’t like was how Liam couldn’t figure out to stop using his credit card while traveling, and technically he kidnapped Miguel so the cops and feds should have been after him in force. And I couldn’t figure out why the head of a cartel didn’t have more manpower at his disposal.

EDIT: Oh, and Liam had a bag full of cash available.. so why didn’t he but a new car when he knew the cartel guys were on the lookout for his beatup old truck? A truck which predictably broke down at the worst possible moment.
