The reverse of that post I’ve made a week ago…
Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.
For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn’t take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG… These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.
Wait. The Postman isn’t considered good? I never bothered looking it up. I thought it was a damn good movie. It really makes you think.
This also reminds me of the social analysis of what actually happens to masses in post disasters.
Look at the breakdown of Katrina. Yes there was rape and murder, but mostly people banded together to survive. There’s always going to be a criminal element and crimes of opportunity. But it wasn’t some selfish, self centered hellscape of every man for themselves. People helped each other and actually showed humanity.
