Barney and Ron Will Make Your Day (Ron's Gone Wrong review)

-

 


From 20th Century Studios and a new animation company called Locksmith (or at least one I haven't heard of before today), comes an all-new animated film that does not only subtly reference the dangers of Artificial Intelligence attempting to take over our reality but also shows that technology with the right hands, can bring about a bright future for responsible and reliable smart tech.

Ron's Gone Wrong tells the story of Barney, a middle schooler who has trouble making friends at school. Due to this, he is especially excited about the creation of the B-Bot, a 2 feet AI robot that goes through your interests through media in order to help you find friends that have common interests through an algorithm created by the CEO of the Bubble company. When Barney gets his B-Bot, however, it is damaged and faulty. Although different from other B-Bots his classmates own, the two attempt to make a real friendship where Ron (later named by Barney) connects with Barney through getting know to him and vice versa. 

There have been a fair share of animated movies that feature AI's and computers being a danger in the future from the likes of Disney's Big Hero 6 and Netflix's Mitchell vs. The Machines but Ron, however formulaic or cliche audiences might find it, tackles the pros and cons intelligent computers in a subtle way - like parents hiding veggies in cereal - compared to the movie's clear central theme being an unlikely friendship. 

The animation is somewhat familiar with the characters having box heads, the talents apart of this animation company brings about a memorable, hilarious storyline that is bound to make your day better. Watch Ron's Gone Wrong only in theatres today.

Underappreciated Superhero Gold (Blue Beetle - review)

DC is in a tough spot with the new reboot and the constant disinterest in the movies they have been providing, which is unfortunate since films like Shazam and The Flash , despite not being DC's best, had their credits due. Blue Beetle , however, should not be considered a part of that list of DC's mid-to-bad entries for it manages to pull through with its fresh takes on overdone superhero cliches that have managed to make the genre what it is today. Based on an obscure character from the DC catalog, the movie adapts the most recent iteration of the character, Jaime Reyes, who takes up the moniker after unintentionally finding a scarab that symbiotically fuses with him to become the Blue Beetle. This is very much an origin story that takes cues from other superhero movies, but it does not seem like a carbon copy of methods that worked for superhero movies, thrown in a blender to finish a script the same way Black Adam did. The film manages to capture what made superhero movie

An Overlooked, Fun Marvel Adventure (The Marvels spoiler-free review)

  This is probably the closest thing to a Marvel team-up we will get for a while, and it is unfortunate that the drama within the media surrounding this film is based on reasons that are not progressive. However, that is not what we are here to talk about. The Marvels is the latest entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, bringing back Carol Danvers in her latest adventure with Nick Fury and some newfound partnerships with Monica Rambeau and Kamala Khan.  The Marvels is set 33 years after the first Captain Marvel movie, where Carol is still trying to save the universe and she thinks she's the only one who can. After the events of WandaVision, Monica is now working with Fury with her new set of powers in his new project called S.A.B.E.R. while Kamala Khan continues to be the giddy, new superhero that protects the residents of New Jersey but an unworldly event connects her mysterious bangle to both Monica and Carol. Due to this cosmic event involving the Kree supremacist, Dar Benn,

Loki season 2 (Full season review)

With Marvel in a sort of whirlpool of viewers not having consistent reception towards the content, they seem to be missing a very important and well-done part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Loki lives up to that statement with its second season. Despite its new writers and directors at the helm, the show still showcases the best parts of Marvel's storytelling.  Taking place immediately after the end of season 1, Loki is dealing with the shenanigans of the TVA and the involvement of Kang variants with the release of the multiverse. It is up to Loki and co. (consisting of Mobius, Hunter B-5, and Casey) to deal with the consequences caused by Sylvie. The show still continues to be a trippy, timey-wimey time travel adventure but adds the Marvel-ous flair that made the franchise so memorable. With new rules and problems being thrown in the mix to deal with, the sci-fi logic continues to be expanded upon, solidifying the greatness of the show.  Unlike most of the Marvel shows that dea
