Review: Annihilation (2018)

As a science fiction movie, this was a lousy one. It worked better as a drama/horror movie, but only marginally, because the dialogue in this movie was so bad. I could have done without 95% of the dialogue in this movie. More on that later.

Despite that, I could still see that the movie was going for some deeper themes, and that's cool. It's just that the technical parts of the movie didn't work in a way that made sense to me, and it made it too difficult to take the rest of the movie seriously.

Overall, this movie was just okay.

Dropped: Gundam Seed (機動戦士ガンダムSEED) (2002-2003)

I've decided to drop this show, mostly because there's nothing going on for me to want to keep watching.

It was difficult for me to stay engaged with the show at the beginning, and the story telling overall just isn't engaging or well-paced enough for me. I felt that the characters I liked didn't have much screen time, which was also a little disheartening.

It's unfortunate because I was hoping to enjoy this anime from my teenage years. I do actually think that if I'd watched as a teenager, I might have still enjoyed it, because the main characters are a little teenage-like. However, as an adult, I couldn't take several of the characters seriously.

Spoilers up to Episode 24.
