Operation Seawolf (2022)
Strangely awful
It's as though whoever wrote this movie had no idea what was actually going to be filmed, or how any kind of vessel worked. I can put up with almost anything except outright stupidity in a movie, so I hated Operation Seawolf.
Let's start with some of the dialogue ... a US Navy captain giving orders such as "come to port 15 degrees, right full rudder" would have had his helmsman strangling him. This happened, not once, not twice but three times ...
And the poignant moment at the end, when his exec reads Kessler's final letter. Kessler's voice does the read back .. only what the voice says bears absolutely no similarity to what is actually written in the letter. One of the other reviewers already mentioned a night attack which started on the surface, then at periscope depth, then back to the surface, so no point belaboring it.
This was just an awful movie, absolutely no redeeming value at all.
Foundation (2021)
I SO wanted to enjoy this show!
I remember reading the Foundation series as a kid, and was simply blown away by it.
This is not Foundation .... no way, no how. This is more like "Foundation meets the Big Brother household". The show seems to be more interested in the love lives of the Terminus citizens than anything else.
Now I know there will be those dingbats who will cry out "Why do you want it to follow the books? Why not allow it to go off into other directions?" The answer is simple .... because this was marketed as "Foundation", not as "Real Housewives of Terminus". If you are going to base your TV series on much-loved books, then radically depart from the plot at your own peril.
Episode 1 was pretty damn good, but oh boy did it go downhill fast.
Rated 2/10 because I'm feeling generous.
