So, I recently watched "Code 8" on Netflix, mainly because I wanted to give Stephen Amell, the guy from "Arrow," a shot in a different role. Gotta say, it was an okay watch, but I wasn't jumping out of my seat with excitement. Let me break it down for you.
First off, the movie had some cool special effects and decent acting. I mean, it's always fun to see some flashy CGI, right? And Stephen Amell did his thing, which was cool to see outside of his usual superhero gig.
But here's the thing, the storyline left a bit to be desired. It felt like they were trying to tackle some big issues, like racism and social inequality, by using this whole meta-human thing as a metaphor. But it didn't quite hit the mark for me. I mean, sure, it's interesting to think about what would happen if people with superpowers were just regular folks trying to get by. But the way they executed it felt kinda off.
Plus, there were some plot lines that were just way too predictable. You know, the whole "trust me" instead of just explaining what's going on? Yeah, that kind of stuff. It made the movie feel a bit dull at times.
Overall, "Code 8" was a decent enough watch, but it didn't exactly blow me away. If you're into sci-fi and don't mind a bit of predictability, you might enjoy it. But if you're expecting something groundbreaking, you might want to lower your expectations a bit.P.S : Some days ago they released a sequel I am going to watch it probably some point in the follow week but I don't have high hopes.
