Just grab a Movie -  https://www.amazon.com/shop/barrosnewmedia It's a mixed blessing, but " Frank Herbert's Dune " goes a long way toward satisfying sci-fi purists who mocked David Lynch 's previous attempt to adapt Herbert's epic narrative. Ironically, director John Harrison's 288-minute TV miniseries (broadcast on the Sci-Fi channel in December 2000) offers its own share of strengths and weaknesses, which, in retrospect, emphasize the quality of Lynch's film in dealing with Herbert's novel with a more comprehensive authority. The debate will continue as to which movie is best; The extensive use of Lynch's internal monologue now seems a well-met challenge, and Harrison's more conventional approach is better equipped to convey the epic scope of Herbert's interplanetary political intrigue. \ N That's right: this "Dune" is a sumptuous treat for the eyes, with sets and costumes that were designed with no apparent limi...

Stargate is a military science fiction media franchise, initially conceived by Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, based on the idea of an alien Einstein–Rosen bridge device (the Stargate) that enables nearly instantaneous travel across the cosmos. The franchise began with the film Stargate, released on October 28, 1994, by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and Carolco, which grossed US$197 million worldwide.[1][2] In 1997, Brad Wright and Jonathan Glassner created a television series titled Stargate SG-1 as a sequel to the film. This show was joined by Stargate Atlantis in 2004, and a third spin-off series, Stargate Universe, in 2009. Also consistent with the same story are a variety of books, video games and comic books, as well as the direct-to-DVD movies Stargate: The Ark of Truth and Continuum , which concluded the first television show after 10 seasons. In 2011, Stargate Universe , the last Stargate program on television, ended its run and the franchise has been in limbo since. Brad Wrigh...

É incrível como a DC Filmes caiu do pódio da qualidade, desde o Cavaleiro das Trevas. Há um filme interessante debaixo do entulho, acerca do esforço conjunto de diferentes personalidades e a ressurreição de um herói caído. Mas este é um filme que foi sacrificado pelas restrições do tempo, o ritmo frenético, a piadola fácil, no forçar de uma formula que resultou numa copia atabalhoada da concorrência ( Marvel ). Múltiplos factores que impediram a narrativa deste filme de respirar, estupidificando os propósitos dos diferentes personagens, como se a direcção do filme fosse cozinhada por demasiadas mãos, impedindo que o fio narrativo fluísse naturalmente; resultando numa confusa amalgama que destoa de cena para cena. E sim, os efeitos CGI são fraquinhos. E é impossível não perguntar se os "reshoots" valeram a pena. Se os recursos não teriam sido melhor aproveitados a polir os aspectos técnicos deste filme, do que esbanjar tempo e dinheiro a esguichar a idílica poçâo ma...

It's amazing, how  DC Movies  fell from the altar of standards, since the  Dark Knight. There is an interesting movie under the rubble, on the joint effort of different personalities and the resurrection of a fallen hero. But this is a film, which has been sacrificed for the constraints of time, the frenetic pace, the easy joke, the forced copy of the competition formula. Factors that prevented the narrative from this film to breathe, stupefying the purposes of the different characters, as if the "story" was cooked by too many hands, preventing it from flowing naturally. And yes, the CGI effects are undercooked too often. And one has to wonder whether the reshoots were worth it. If the resources, would not have been better used to polish the technical aspects of this film, than to pursue the magic sauce of levity. We will never know, without basis for comparison. Still, there are good moments in this film. The team works well together, there is a visible and ...
