STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI AT IMAX 3D
Recommended. Ravishing. Dubrovnik is Canto Bight. The red iron soil covered in salt pretenting Crait is Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. Skellig Michael in Ireland makes for Luke's island. Irish Donegal and the outlandish-landscape-stalwart Iceland feature too. Fantastic new animals, especially on Luke's island: land ones, flying ones and one in the ocean. Chewbacca becomes vegetarian. Non-white and female heroes. As for the plot, it's good to remind yourself the previous part first. It reworks all the tried and tested motifs: John Williams's music, an attractive young hot-headed rebel, everyone's beloved old Luke, Leia and Master Yoda, in-jokes, heroes sneaking into the occupants' spacecraft, a thief working for whoever he finds fit, X-wings and a lot of the Force. Domhnall Gleeson is again so hot he'd easily lure you to the Dark Side. You never know who is and will be on which side. I cried about 3 times. The movie gets better and better to a spectacular finale. The last scene is the sweeper. No mid- or post-credit. Decent Imax 3D but I think that the plot makes such an impression that 2D on a regular size screen will suffice as well. May be worth hearing in Dolby Atmos if available.
EPIC DRAMA
On 14th December Viasat World introduced its Epic Drama TV Channel to Poland. It's going to consist of lavish costume serials only. I hope it has the original language version since the episode presented to us at the official opening had an annoying Polish voiceover and the English original was muted down completely. At least it's available online to watch at any time, with new episodes released weekly.
HARLOTS EPISODE 1
Watchable. Apparently 1 out of 5 women in 18th century London was a prostitute so the serial about competing two brothels grabs men's attention easily. You get some naked scenes, though short ones, in the initial part. The intrigue in the first episode is densely woven and engaging even for a woman. It ends so abruptly you crave for part two.
