Pros: When it came to the production of T2: Things were so well organised, operated, and designed. This was made during a time when actors got casted for a role because they were the right person for the job. These days people get casted more for popularity more than anything else. The movie craftsmanship here is pretty much as high as the Hollywood industry will ever get!
Incredible marrying of oldschool practical & new CGI effects. Grate casting. Rich in quality. Good costume designs. Incredible lighting and sound. Top quality set designs. Super protagonist and antagonist. Cinematic stunts done foreal without the use of CGI. Properly placed CGI scenes, good editing, nice story. Dramatic, action packed, and humourous. Memorable quotable lines. These are all the proper ingredients of a cinema movie.
Cons: The first movie is more sci-fi based and scarier. Other than these things, this movie improved on everything else correctly.
Overall: Most of the CGI films you see now, are branched from this movie. These days CGI gets used over the top. This movie places it correctly in the scenes where it's needed. Again, what really shines here is the films movie craftsmanship. From the opening credits to the final scene: just the right balance of dialogue, action, and dramatic emotion for an sci-fi action movie. 8.9 out of 10.

This show really caught me off guard. I was entertained all the way through. It had a touch of oriental style Jason bourne essence to it, but was still kindah cool.
Pros: Daniel Dae Kim did a solid job here. To be honest he's a underrated actor. However he's really good.
Even though it was a action spy thriller: I really enjoyed the family drama aspects of the show. Especially between the lead character: his daughter, new wife, and kid daughter. It had some touching pieces of dialogue & emotions. Decent plot & story. The ending was really good too!!!
Cons: The girl who played the older daughter: Did not have the best dialogue delivery. More the eye candy of the show. Action scenes were decent, but could have been a bit more detailed. Some of the camera make up could have been better. Also some questionable extras & actor pics for some of the supporting characters.
Overall: The show was entertaining. I missed some of the begining. However, I liked it that much, I plan on watching it again.

Interestingly enough this movie is still good. Halloween is no masterpiece, but does a good job of portraying: the actions & intentions of a speechless serial killer.
Pros: The writer put in alot of effort into the structure of the 3 main characters. Location designs are good. Camera lighting very eery, and reflective of the main character. Well crafted camera shots for chase scenes. Good tension, and scaryness. Epic movie theme.
Well executed scene music in connection with the scene. Interesting supporting character: His psychiatrist (Dr Lumis). Good explanation of Michael's past. Realistic encounters with the 3 main characters. Good sound effects during the encounters. Interesting story. A cool annual celebration movie.
Cons: Obviously the low budget of the movie. Could have been some meaningful dialogue from Laurie, in contrast with Michael. Poor acting from other supporting characters.
What shines in Halloween is the movie craftsmanship. Halloween is another example of: You don't need a Hollywood budget and effects to make a good film. The scary part of the film is the encounters. If you had a serial killer brother who was after you: The encounters would be probably be similar to this.........

Halloween (2018) is one of the better sequels production & direction wise. Not the best movie, but manages to be enjoyable. Has some of the better acting, and direction.
Pros: Pretty much the best movie of the new era Halloween movies. Good direction, nice camera shots. Scary in places, good violence scenes, has a clever end sequence, and better acting than usual. Also better support casting picks. The protagonist actually does some clever thinking in this movie, which is pretty cool. The story is decent too.
Cons: The plot is: Pretty much the same old; going after his family members & Laurie repeated plot. Story is o.k, but nothing new. The acting is better, but still has elements of B-movie cheese at times.
Overall: Pretty enjoyable horror movie. Both the antagonist & protagonist had to do some thinking here. In the end sequence it really shows. Definitely a high point to the movie. The way Michael was beaten here was clever. Reminiscent of the Halloween end sequences in Halloween 2 & 5.👍
Final grade: 7.6 out of 10.

Pros: Flower child is one of the episodes; I never forgot about: years later after the outer limits finished. The visuals in this episode were great for the time. Nice use of practicle effects, and earlier t.v CGI. The character Violet is one of the more unique outer limits characters. Also a very interesting, and physically well structured one too. The scene music in this episode was surprisingly incredible! Quite easily in the top 3 scene ambiences through the whole show. It had a cool story, and a nice cast of actors. All though not one of the more in depth stories, a nice little watch. One of the more ickyer episodes.
Cons: The actress who plays Violet is not exactly an oscar winner. Her dialogue delivery kinda sucks. However overall is doesn't dampen the character's traits. There is a level of B movie cheese in the episode here, but its still fun.
Overall: I really liked this episode. The icky parctical Alien /monster effects were grate. Both the boyfriend and girlfriend were believable as a young loving couple struggling with their hormones. However the ending I liked the most. I really didn't see it coming at all!! Get ready for it: Because this is a wonderful combination of pratical effects, CGI, lighting, camera work, and incredible musical score; that is some of the best, which you will see throughout the whole series!!! Epic icky visual ending!!😃👏😈🤢🤗

This is a very good outer limits episode. I had to respect the post apocalyptic creativity here.
Pros: The world setting here is incredible. If you have ever watched the Superman or justice league cartoons: you will realise it's similar to Dark Seid's apocalypse world. He has the underlings who are slaves within camps. They keep the cogs of the world running: in this metallic brimstone type of setting. This is also reminisent of Reese's flash back dreams, from the terminator future: from the first movie. Futuristic weaponry, and hidden humans living in the barron wasteland and terrains. They certainly tuck influence from these franchises.
The costumes in this episodes were so good. Set designs incredible. The makeup spoke for itself. Grate attention to detail for the android machine props and monster design. Cool casting, and a nice story.
Cons: Not really much I didn't like about it. Not the most complicated story, but it didnt need to be. Everything worked well.
Overall: When talking t.v craftmenship, this is one of the stronger outer limits episodes. Make sure you watch this one. It's important to learn from past creativity, and this episode shows this alot. Final grade 8.5 out of 10.

Pros: Equilibrium is a rare film. I never saw a movie like it before its original release, & even after till now! A marshall law civilisation, without feeling: ran by a strange, and almost scientolgy-like-group takes over as the new goverment body! It's well shot, and has a good cast. Cool action, interesting story aspects, and is well acted. The scenes are very expressive, and landscape refelective of the main story arc. The excellent thing about equilibrium is when you contrast it with todays reality it's quite scary! It has similarities!
Today's society, tv shows, movies, and computer games have miminal substance, with only fragments of feeling: in contrast with the earlier years of society. Families are more disconnected now due to technology! Soon to be is the banisment of disposable e-cigerettes, and soon to come, who knows what's next! But it is just a film lol.
Cons: The movie was good, but more could have been elaborated with the depth of the story, plot, and dialogue. More information could have gone into the breaking point and changes related to the current society. I felt like the main character could have got an assist, from some supporting characters near the end in more depth. Seems unbelievable, him mostly taking them out.
Overall: This is a very good scifi movie. You understand it more, every time you watch it. Equilibrium is not a masterpiece: however the subject-matter was ahead of its time by a good 20 years. For that, I had to give it some extra marks. Good Christian Bale movie. Final grade 7.8 out of 10.

Pros: Supernatural at the time of release was totally fresh. It was one of the mid 2000s shows that pushed the envelope. It had great lead cast picks. Incredible ensemble and support characters. The show pretty much explores: every mythical beast and biblical figure you have heard of, and more. Even though the show was horror / fantasy based: it also had a sense of humour to ease up in it becoming too serious at times. It had a good sense of drama too.
The show had some real high tier powered characters which were grate to see on screen: leaving the most powerful one to the end. The show is real creative, and made some good tv depictions, and portrayed some excellent supernatural lore.
Cons: the first 3 seasons of supernatural were a bit sporadic. There were a lot of off beat filler episodes with less main storyline. The horror, fantasy, and comedy were not balanced. Each lasted per episode, rather then mixing it up per scene. This made some of the early seasons feal dragged out. The best years of Supernatural started from season 4 onwards. However there were some good episodes from previous seasons. Also, the action and fight scenes could have been more consistant; and more detailed.
Overall: Supernatural is a grate show. However like all the grates it had its ups and downs. Everyone will have different fav seasons which they enjoy. Me, I personally thought the 13th season was the all around best made season. It had new grate characters, stories, good special effects, good fights, good direction, solid production, nice acting, was the most coherently consistant, and visited new worlds we had never scene before.

Pros: the former part was good but more like a blaire witch episode. Similar hand-cam work with good storytelling. This however follows on from the prequel, but is more episodic. Has a more film-type of setting with much better camera work, dialogue, monoluges, subtext, and acting. The episode connects on what Dean & Sam are already going through.
Their are some epic moments in this episode. The acting was very forfilling. Mainly at the following key moments: The diner scene, the car hancuff scene, and the phone booth conversation at the end. The facial expressions of the actors were grate here. Grate writing skills that show expression of the subtext: in contrast with Sam, Dean, and Kate's pasts. Very memorable moments.
Cons: The sad thing is Kate's story arc finishes after this episode. We dont get to see her again. Other than this, it was a grate sequel in nearly every way.
Overall: Some of the episode does have its goofyness. But that's Supernatural.... However i was fully satisfied on how much better it was than the prequel. Grate sideplot episode. Good writing from the writers.
Final grade: 7.9 out of 10.

Pros: I have to say I really liked the main character. He had a likable personality. Good improviser. I liked the way he faced problems. Instead of running away or being scared he embraced them, and took them head on. I noticed the guy who played his handler was a pretty good actor: Ignacio Serricchio. Liked him too. The casting is very well done. Interesting story that moves at a steady pace. The movie is both serious and has a good sense of humour.
Cons: It lacks some action and entertainment. Incoherent in some places. I doubt the Cartel boss would have been so easily dealt with! Story could have been more elaborated but overall was a fun watch.
Overall: It's a good little movie with grate casting. The sub-characters connect well with the main-character. I just feel things could have been a little more fleshed out. Some more action and thrills were needed. If you like Clint Eastwood this one will still entertain you.
Final grade: 7.4 out of 10.

Pros: Phonebooth is an interesting one. Firstly because the budget for this film wasn't really that high at all. Secondly because it was filmed mostly in one spot. To be Honest the film could have been a play at a walk-in theatre. What shines here is the acting, tension, dialogue, photography, voice work, and scene music. The film was strongly casted too and well written. This is Collin Farrel's pinnacle performance. Forest Whittiker does a grate job as the over-worked cop leutenant. Also keitha Sutherland is excellent as the icey-voiced taunting sniper.
The monalogue speech from Stu near the end of the movie is epic, and this is how dialogue is really suppost to be written.
Cons: I would say the only thing wrong with phone booth is: the fact that its mostly filmed in one spot. Apart from that, its a grate film.
Overall: Phone booth is a classic. They dont really make phone booths anymore due to mobile phones being so popular. They have them in city centres but thats it. I think this is what gives the film its charm though. The film was inspiring, new and had never really been done before. It made 9 times its budget back, and is a grate film. High rewatchability. 7.7 out of 10.

Pros: This film has some of the best actors in the business within it. I love the diversity of the characters. A unique set of individuals! A few egg-head scientists, a undercover goverment waste disposal gun marine, an empath, and a sexy psycho alien on the run. The film did a really good job explaining the Antagonist strengths and flaws.
Good attention to detail: on what she is, and how she was created. They did miss where she was from, but nothings perfect. The acting, dialogue, and editing in these scenes was excellent. Good scene design, and usuage of practicle effects. Some incredible scenes like: the epic glass breaking scene which is some what remisent of a Nazi Hitler movie!, the explaination of what Sil is, and the epic lab scene.
Cons: Species does have its cliche aspects, but at the same time they are fun. It's an independant movie: but saying that, there are high quality aspects about it. When it comes to these types of movies, species is as high quality as they come.
Overall: Species is a cool horror movie. It's not perfect but it's fun. The actors do make up most of the movie. However, there is some: creative scene design, good photography, and nice tension within the action that will entain you. It's cool rewatching it and seing a young: Michelle williams, Michael Madsen, Natasha Hendrige, Forest Whittiker, and Ben Kingsley. Grate actors. Final grade 7.4 out of 10.

Pros: I have so many fond memories of watching this show. I uster watch each episode once per week when it first got broadcasted. Dark matter has great character story arcs. Good side plots. Nice chracters and cool looking location sets. The casting was done pretty well in this show. There's several different arcatypes of characters for everyone to like. I loved the slick weapon designs and unique universe. Some of the action scenes were cool too. Great mystery and reveal scenes too.
Cons: The main story was cool but needed more elaboration and depth. Dialogue was good at times but falls off occasionally: Needed more depth. Camera lighting is good at times but falls off sometimes when reflecting off some locations and makeup for characters.
Overall: Dark matter is a good show. It was very sad to see it get cancelled. The 2nd season is the best one out of all of them. Has some cool new added characters and grate scenes. The show was good as a whole. I baught it on DVD after it was released. The show It lacks some depth and elaboration: However the characters are memorable and uniquie. Its a good watch for both hardcore and casual watchers. A slick action, drama, mystery, scifi-thriller.
Watch out for the scene where Vauhns has to reattach the cuplin on the exterior of the ship. Good tension, pretty cool👍.

Watch out for the scene where Vauhns has to reattach the cuplin on the exterior of the ship. Good tension, pretty cool👍.
Pros: Looking back at this show, the casting alone was excellent. The show took a risk with some of the younger actors. At the time some of them were unknown but clearly good! Just look at the casting roster. Names like: Britt Robertson, Thomas Dekker, Phoebe Tonkin, Shelly Hennig, and Jessica Kennedy. It even had some O. G Vetran actors too like: Natasha Henstridge, Tom Butler, JR Bourne, Hiro Kanagawa, and Alexia fast. The production was top notch. Grate atmospheres like the mines, the fare ground, and Lee's voodo garage.
Story was nice, however a little serious. People can say what they want, but this show opened up a lot of doors for some good actors you see today. Alot of them you see in other shows now.
Cons: Supposebly the show was expensive to make. It had a lot to compete with too on the CW network. The likes of Supernatural & Vampire diaries. Those shows had more elements of comedy, goofyness, teen angst, and more story diversity. Equaling a larger target audience. The show would have survived if it had some of these elements. It was a little to focused on only witches too. It could have been more diverse and action packed. However was a good show.
Overall: Was a good show. However the tone of the show is too consistant with its serious elements. The acting was good too. Excellent casting. Needed more diversity in the story and some work on the sideplots.

Pros: I was surprised at how well some of the acting cast handled themselves in this show. There is a good mix of new and experienced actors here, both young and old. Some I've never seen before, but they're pretty good. The show can get super weird sometimes, above x files level! But the cast did a good job in making it seem believable. Production is good, and so was the makeup. I liked some of the special effects too. Story was cool, but had some usual t.v show flaws. Decent direction too. Characters were likeable but not super memorable. However it was entertaining. Character sideplots were decent too, with a good touch of drama, romance, family issues, and friendship.
Cons: like most low budget t.v shows, it has a lot of cliche, tropes, and predictability. It can get super weird at times with some of the story. Lacked some action scenes in season 1. Gets a little goofy towards the last season but maintains its regular rythem and feel of the show.
Overall: I would say the runtime of the show was about right. It's a decent watch. Like I said before it can get weird, but it was portrayed pretty well by the actors. Its biggest flaw was predictability. It has the oldschool world domination alien tropes we have seen before. However I was entertained. If you like weird scifi its worth a watch. It's not brilliant, its just o.k. Final grade 6.9 out 10.

I wouldn't say this is one of Buffy the Vampire Slayer's top 5 episodes: but the acting towards the end is 10 out of 10.
Pros: Some of the photography, scene music, dialogue, and acting is just incredible here! The message throughout this episode is: Nobody is perfect. Seeing Riley get caught at that vamp nest was surprising! Plus Spike with his sly remark afterwards lol.
During the Buffy and Riley brake up scene: This is pretty much Sarah & Mark's peak acting. The dialogue is so good here. It's actually one of the more stronger acted scenes through out the whole show! Afterwards another strong acted scene with Xander.
Seeing Riley takeoff in the helicopter, buffy walk through the streets: so melodramatic! Grate😀. The photography & and music was incredible here. Then their final scene: A photography shot of Buffy on her house stairway sad. Which fades to Riley in the helicopter, with his hair blowing through the wind wow! The scene music is so good here!
Cons: The first half of the episode is not that relevant to what the episode is about. It's like their is two topics going on!
Overall: I really felt the 2nd half of this episode. It really shows that no man or woman is perfect. Through life we search for Mrs or Mr right but not even they are perfect. Figuring this out is a fight for Buffy, (and most people at this age). Unfortunately she loses this fight. I remeber seeing this episode airing on Skyone channel back in the day. I have to say, it still holds up. The topic is more for mature people but still good. Grate acting, and production.

Overall: I really felt the 2nd half of this episode. It really shows that no man or woman is perfect. Through life we search for Mrs or Mr right but not even they are perfect. Figuring this out is a fight for Buffy, (and most people at this age). Unfortunately she loses this fight. I remeber seeing this episode airing on Skyone channel back in the day. I have to say, it still holds up. The topic is more for mature people but still good. Grate acting, and production.
Pros: Angel was made in an era where entertainment was all about imagination. In this show, it reflects this a lot. The writing is super-colourful. So many grate fanatasy characters. Grate production qualities. Has high rewatchability. Cool location sets, vibrant worlds like: Piliah (the sets in this world are amazing), and the gritty streets of L. A. Nice action scenes, sideplots, and cross-over characters. Terrific costume, and makeup designs, and dialogue. This show has good all-around balance: It's dramatic, funny, imaginative, and serious all at the same time. Good mix of old and new school special effects.
Cons: To be honest, there's not much i disliked about this show. The first season had a darker tone. Also it was darker in comparison with Buffy, but thats it. The story isn't super complicated but it doesn't need to be. It's the correct balance for this type of show.
Overall: What more is there to say! This is peak t.v fantasy at its best. I thought it was incredible back then. It still is now. The show made David Boriarnez who he is! And alot of others actors too. Highly recommended fantasy watch.👍 Final grade: 8.2 out of 10.

Son of a gun review.
Pros: This is a good little independant crime movie. What shines here is the acting from 3 star actors. It's rare these days you see actors of this quality star in a film like this. Ewan Mcgregor does a marvelous job as a robbery convict. Brenton Thwaits has a good onscreen breakout performance here: as a young criminal in a bad jam within prison. Last but not least: the beautiful Alicia Vikander plays the lost girl; looking for a way out of a crime syndicate. The story is good, and so is the feel of the scenes. There's some nice photography shots, cool-edgy prison dialogue, and edgy action sequences and atmosphere. Grate characters too.😀
The best part of the movie is probably the first half. However the acting by the stars was solid all the way through.
Cons: The story could have been more elaborated. More details could have gone into how things unfolded for specific scenes & action sequences. Mainly some of the prison stuff and middle of the movie. Some of the scene editing was too fast. Dialogue within scenes could of been more detailed throughout whole movie: with more explaination of how things play out.
Overall: It's a good little crime movie. It's not perfect, but will entertain you as a watcher. Gritty crime fans will probably love it. This type of genre is what made Ewan mcgregor famous in the first place. If you like him as actor: which most do, you will enjoy this. Cool mid-2000s crime movie. Final grade: 7.1 out of 10.

Pros; The things i liked about this show were: The story was new and daring. It's good to see some writers take a chance on a concept that hasn't been brocasted before on mainstream t.v. Production qualities are cool. Location sets nice. Good editing of scenes. Some of the actors on the show I've never come across before. However it's clear they are talented. It just goes to show how some talent goes unoticed these days.
The characters are edgy, scenes dramatic. The good thing about the show is there is alot of bad-guys and neutral based characters who are entertaining. Character conflit is good. The atmosphere changes alot in the decisions they make. The acting is good too. The 2nd season was muched improved and has kept me watching. Mostly what shines the best here is the sideplot writing. It's full of twists.
Cons: Some of the story arcs in the first season are a bit repetitive. The main story in the show is a little shakey around the edges. But gets better per season.
Overall: If you like crime dramas it's a cool little show. The main story doesn't quite reach greatness: However the sideplots are very interesting, and well designed here. The actors do a grate job, and the characters are constantly entertaining. It has a diversity of character nationalities. It's still early days in seasons: but I would say: give this one a watch it's o.k. 7.4 out of 10.

Pros: Iv'e watched this movie several times. This came out during the rapidshare and Rlslog downloading movie days. I use to sell movies to my neighbours and friends a while back. This one I sold quite alot. What shines here is the film craftsmanship. Good: photography, direction, sound, actors, characters, action, thrills, horror, acting, and dialogue. This was Rachel Nichols debut film. It put her on the map! She had a fan base after this film, and other mainstream film opportunities. Also, Wes Bentley is in this movie! Good xmas thriller horror movie with a firery ending.
Cons: Even though it was a good film, it wasn't that well promoted!
Yeah, the story arc is a little cliche. The pace could have been a little faster at the start. However, once the main characters connect, the film is great.
Overall: It's a good xmas Thriller-horror film. Here we see Rachel Nichols, and Wes Bentley (American Beauty) Give really nice performances. Not fogetting Rocky the dog too. He acts really good near the end lol. The entertainment, and loaction sets were good in this film too. Give this a watch. I have this as part of my movie collection. It will not dissapoint. Good movie.👍
Final grade: 7.5.

Pros: I'm not a reviewer who gives out high marks easily. But this one deserves them in several areas. First off is the story which is great. Animation and drawing which were excellent for the time period. The appeal to a vast audience. Can be watched by kids, family or individually. Multi-genre aspects: drama, comedy, fantasy, soulful, musical. The snowman is just the right length running time. Not to short or long. Incredible soundtrack song. A super heart-warmer. A realistic ending: Not exactly a happy one, but it makes sense.
Cons: To be honest, the only thing missing from the Snowman is dialogue. But it really doesn't need it. Every storyboard of animation is so well done and edited. All the scenes show clearly what is going on.
Overall: The Snowman is over 40 years old to date. It's one of the best t.v animations ever made. But for few qualities that are rare in most animations and film. It's just so magical! It really touches your soul!, for the whole animation. By the time the musical score kicks in during the main scene, and the ending; just before the credits: you will see what I mean.
During the ending there is a clear hidden message to the audience. That nothing lasts forever: and that all good things must come to an end. Every good story has character flaws. By the end of the movie, it is evident what the snowman's fatal flaw is. Good story telling.
Final Grade: 10 out of 10.👍

Pros: Costume designs in the show are excellent. It's a very attractive looking show. The atmopheres are pleaseing to the eye. Good makeup. Good actors, and nice casting for the characters. Good dialect and language style for the characters. Everything looks FBI orientated. Nice sound, and scene editing. Some of the short stories are cool, and give an edgy feel to the audience.
Cons: The title of the show is basic! Main plot, subplot, character development, and antagonist are basically non-existant in this show. There is no main story plot because each episode is strongly case to case based. There's not really any sideplots for the main characters.
Main character development is very poor. They all have hearts made out of stone! You dont really get to see into their lifes, emotions, or connections, outside or inside the FBI offices. Because of this, you can't invest in the characters.
Overall: It's an o.k show, with interesting mature subject matter. However, things become repetitive. A good portion of the: main plot, side plot, and character development writing skills is flimsy at best. There is not enough follow-through with that stuff, into the next episodes.

These days t.v shows are more quantity over quality. However, prisonbreak does not use this formula. This was one of the few early 2000s shows which was more quality over quantity.
Pros: Theres so much good things about prison break you cannot fit into one review. However here is a few: pretty much near perfect casting, incredible cinematography, cleaver-colourful-writing. Good location sets, great dialogue. Serious and comical when it needs to be, and good scene ambience music. Good balance of multiple genres: drama, conspiracy, romance, friendship, mystery, crime, violence, planning, family, love, struggle and much more.
Cons: The third season is similar to the first season but in a forign location. However it was still a good season. The forth season was probably the worst. It's more of an action-fest than anything else.
Overall: Very few shows stand the test of time when it comes to rewatchability. Prison break is a classic. The show was excellent at showing character complexities. The writing quality alone made all the main actors famous, and set for life in their acting careers. It was popular nationwide on release. You can see the writing style of the show was inspired from: t.v shows like the (x files), and movies like (the usual suspects). It intertwines levels of its foundation and genres remakably! Highly recommended watch.👌
Final grade: 8.8 out of 10.

Nowhere is an interesting watch. It's one of those solo survival performance films. It's by no means a perfect film or high budget. However, the creative scene design, and method acting: are not in short supply here.
Pros: This film really shows a will to survive. Strong improvisation skills from the main character. At every turn; there is a feel of struggle, and desperation. The film sends out this message saying: in life, sometimes you just have to work with what you have got. The female performer did a really good job; nice acting. The film might even make you cry. Pretty decent for a netflix film.
Cons: Slow start: dragged a little at the begining. Filmed in one location for the most of film. Low budget production. Scene music could have been better. Change of scenerary, and another character to talk to would have been nice. Needed more dialogue.
Overall: Nice little survival flick. Teaches you the importance of will power. By the the end of the film, you will know not to take: the little things we have in life for granted.

The show reflects how primitive humans can be. This is also a show that depicts survival of the fittest.
Pros: The 100 has a good amount decent drama. Peformances are more targeted at at younger audience; but still has a mature amount of material. This show portrays a high amount of quality scifi elements. From technology, dialogue, language, timelines, and characters are unique. A vast amont of civilisation is covered during the show. It has some interesting concepts: and strong diversity of character cultures.
Very strong production qualities: Some of the locations and set designs in mid to late seasons are very strong. Costume designs very good. Good ensemble cast of actors. Action sequences are good but vary in some seasons. Good change of concept season to season. Nice mix of mature & younger characters 👍.
Cons: Main character becomes annoying towards the end of the show. Everyone who has watched the show: knows the 100 has a bad ending. Stupid deaths of some main characters in the end season. The last 2 seasons are the worst, but not terrible. First half of the first season is a little slow, but afterwards grate.
Overall: I think the creators of the show did a good job. You have to respect the unique elements of it. The shows strongest qualities are: the primitive nature of humans, unique technology designs, location designs, nice costume designs, and the adaptability of people. The show shines at its strongest: between seasons 2-5. It's not a perfect show, but a solid watch for scifi fans.
