Do you mean The Mitchell's vs The Machines?
If so, agreed, fantastic.
And yeah, thought the messaging was really well done.

I did mean the Mitchell's vs the machines actually. How did I get that so wrong?
Ah that's how. Maybe my mind merged the two. I assume they are both at least half decent.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli.
Battle Beyond the Stars has heart. Rebel Moon has no heart. It also has John Boy Walton, and George Peppard! Rebel Moon has Charlie humdrun.

I gave it a shot despite absolutely hating the ugly character designs. . . But it didn't grab me and gave up before the end of episode one.I've been binging :

Does it pick up, or continue on the same trajectory? I feel bad that I had to ditch a cartoon at least trying something a bit different.

Same here. I just found the theme and the
Sub character rather depressing.

I think the theme is potentially interesting, but has probably been explored to death in recent years. Melancholia, seeking a friend for the end of the world, this is the end, how it ends etc.

Watched Rebel Moon: Child of Fire last night, it's not as bad as some people have made it out to be but it's not great either. It failed the ultimate test in that it didn't stop Mrs Q from falling asleep before the ending. It's better than the Phantom Menace aka the World's Longest and Most Expensive Toy Commerical but that's not a high bar.
It was apparently originally pitched as a Star Wars movie and the influence is unmistakeable, the port city of Providence is basically Mos Eisley with different street signs. It even had a cantina scene.
What is it with spaceports? Is there some zoning requirement that they must include a scummy dive packed full of criminal low-lifes?
Charlie Hunnan's character was clearly based on Hans Solo, Sofia Boutella dressed like a Jedi (sans lightsaber) and Doona Bae an actress with a talent for picking odd roles basically played the same character as she played in Jupiter Ascending (another big budget disappointment)
It certainly made me think of Battle Beyond The Stars aka The Magnificent Seven aka The Seven Samurai (the original is still the best of three or should it be four now)

Five. There's a remake of The Magnificent Seven from 2016 which pretty much sank without a trace.

Last Stop Larrimah is a fascinating story of an isolated Aussie outback community.
What seems like it might be a straightforward story gets increasingly mental as the 10 inhabitants reveal their personal stories.

I liked it enough to stick with it, but became really invested from episode 3 and thought it was fantastic. I felt bereft when it finished.

Interesting. I'd like to give it another try. It does look damn ugly though. I think it's the eyes.

I made it to episode three, under some duress. The Suranne Jones replicant was bearable to watch, but then those obnoxious children found the camera and...ohhh dear. Not just the cliches, but dates on photos get there when they're printed, not when they're taken. It's making me want to slap too many people.

We finished e3 and yes, those kids are fucking irritating but there's enough interest there to keep going I think. It's got the potential for a really stupid ending though
given that she saw her husband shot to death in front of her and he supposedly died in her arms.
Not seen any of it but i trust your judgement - thanks for the heads up on what to avoid.
you are supposed to be in bonny Scotland enjoying scenery and posh hotels not watching telly.

I had it all ready to go, but I am hearing a lot of people now give reviews like the one you have just posted. I'm assuming my low tolerance for bullshit will mean it's not for me.

I took one look at that, saw it was Harlen Coben and gave it the swerve. I've entertained a couple of this things and they can be entertaining for a while but they go on for way too long with more and more ludicrous twists that I just can't be arsed any more.
Thank you for confirming my prediction.

I don't know Harlen Coben but I'm giving it a go now while making dinner. So far so shite. At first I thought it was terrible acting, but some of these people have played decent roles. It's the writing isn't it? The whole think is so unrealistic. I don't mean the basic scenario, just what people say and do within the basic premise / structure. It's also filmed like the most bland vanilla BBC / 80s famous five way imaginable. Half way through part 2 . . .I'm just losing interest.

I was right. It's way too long and nosedives into preposterous nonsense from episode 4.

Things looked like they might pick up at tge end of episode 2 but Episode 3 was a snoozefest.

this is the key bit, for me. I can get over preposterous bollocks and even slightly incorrect minor historical details as long as it is moving fast enough for me to notice/care. But eight hours of it? Cut it down to four, skip a couple of subplots and just give us the action.
