Watched Aquaman (2018).
It feels like an insanely expensively made ’80s cartoon, and I wish all the success it deserves.
Its inherently old-fashioned setup is played 100% straight and doesn’t even try to contextualize the existence of such a figure in the modern civilization, something Zach Snyder failed miserably with his take on Superman.
Instead, you get giant octopus playing drums, sharks that shoot lasers, and a charismatic macho guy who was born in the wrong decade and elevates what was the jokiest of joke heroes in the DC universe to a bona fide badass. 8.5/10
I also watched Robinson Crusoe on Mars (1964). It was advertised as scientifically accurate but is a full of nonsense by today’s standards.
Its small budget is very noticeable, as it recycles the War of the Worlds UFOs and their same shots over and over again. They also hired Adam West but only for about three minutes. The sidekick may even be gay, though that was probably not intentional.
It’s a film that has enough story logic, and is not quite funny-bad. It’s an interesting reminder of the standard of the science in pop culture. I recommend that you see Aquaman and Robinson Crusoe on Mars back to back. 3.5/10
