My hopes have just been restored that in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, it's possible to create an amazing film that can hold its own and easily surpass many of the Hollywood movies with budgets 150,000 times higher.

"Restore Point" had beautiful visuals, a great soundtrack, and exceptional camera work. It reminded me of cool sci-fi films like "Blade Runner," "The Island," and "Upgrade."

It was finally something fresh, with an intriguing story and the outstanding lead actress Andrea Mohylová. She played her part perfectly and had a great look for a cool female cyberpunk detective. "Restore Point" explored many interesting themes about our attempts to back up consciousness. It brilliantly incorporated the new technologies of 2041 and avoided many of the mistakes made in famous sci-fi films. One common mistake in many sci-fi movies is that they are set in the near future, but the technology depicted is far too advanced for the year it's supposed to be, which makes the film less believable. In "Restore Point," I loved the setting and the powerful noir atmosphere it created when depicting the futuristic city in contrast to old, abandoned places.

It was very intense, had great music and amazing visuals. Restore Point serves as a proof that you don't need a high budget to create something fresh and visually stunning. It's a reminder that innovative storytelling and skillful filmmaking can transcend budgets and borders, leaving a lasting impression on audiences worldwide.

After George Lucas sold STAR WARS to Disney, the space adventure saga lost its identity as this epic larger-than-life space opera rooted in mythology and imagination.

STAR WARS must follow certain rules established by George Lucas. It's the camera, the music, the sets, the costumes, the actors, the style of the dialogues, the aliens & creatures, etc. Everything within STAR WARS is very structured so that when you look at the screen, you immediately know that you are in a galaxy far far away, that this is STAR WARS and no other film.

Andor looks and feels like it's set in a completely different universe, or that it's some kind of weird dystopian sci-fi set on planet Earth, where the characters salvaged whatever old weapons and uniforms they could find. Everything in Andor looks off. The aesthetics and the style of STAR WARS are gone. The imagination is gone. Even when you put away the fact that the elements of STAR WARS are not there and it's just a brand name stamped onto some medieval-looking TV show, it's too boring to watch. There is no story to follow, the conversations are dull and empty.

We are stuck with watching the Empire vs the Rebels narrative forever, there is nothing new and exciting. At Disney, they don't understand STAR WARS. George Lucas created an exciting space fantasy adventure filled with exotic planets and strange exotic creatures and aliens and infused it with so many mythological, spiritual, psychological & political themes and he worked very hard to always make it new. Without him, STAR WARS is gone. No imagination, no creativity, and the lack of understanding of the building blocks of STAR WARS is the main reason why we are getting this kind of content from Disney and it hurts ...... especially if you are a STAR WARS fan who truly understood George Lucas's vision.
