HONORABLE MENTIONS

 

or are they....

 

 

 

 

Spoiler

They are.

 

In Alphabetical Order:

 

Spoiler

 

Airframe

Séance

The Space Pirates

The Yellow Wallpaper

 

 

 

All four came close, but no cigar.

25.

 

Spoiler

 

Rollercoaster

 

A competent thriller that relies more on careful staging than cheap thrills and shocks. Could have used a little more development of Norton's character beyond just the weary, exhausted, dogged investigator.

I'm still not entirely sure why Rollercoaster got such good reviews. I threw it together in like an hour lol.

 

Wonder how the sequel will do...

Three out of four honorable mentions huh? Guess I'm well and truly the bridesmaid

24.

 

Spoiler

 

ReBoot

 

A clever and fun dive into electronica that kinda feels like a kiddie spinoff of Tron.

 

 

[4815162342]

23.

 

Spoiler

 

The Rider

 

Karl Urban does his best grumpy Karl Urban glowering in this secret sequel to Dredd where Thirlby's character gets turned into an AI

22.

 

Spoiler

 

The SCP Foundation

 

An anthology film with a couple weak outings that is redeemed by a couple very good ones.

 

 

[4815162342]

21.

 

Spoiler

 

Voltron: Defenders of the Universe

 

Actually much better than I thought it would be going in. Probably could have trimmed out some of the dense lore/exposition a little.

 

 

 

 

That'll be all for tonight most likely.

Well at least it's over 100 points in the CC now.

 

Also did you expect to hate it?

SCP and Voltron were both acclaimed titles, and their lower ranks made it seem like you didn't enamor them.

 

.....so we're done with all that, right?

They were praised but I wouldn't say the acclaim was entirely universal.

At least now that Defenders of the Universe has done all the heavy-lifting establishing the universe Rise of Lotor can focus much more on the action and the character banter.

You assume that everything else you are thinking of even made the list.

It's based on a pretty good and fairly intelligent show tho
