AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
Holstra Boring, long, and too preachy.
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Skyler Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.
premalmandala I don't know what's going on with the people that score that tv show so poorly. It so obvious when you give it a try that this show is being created with real creativity, a story line super interesting, the quality of image undeniable, where actors are good at what they portray...the way the fantasy mixes with reality is not overdone but brings a definite plus to the watcher. I hope even with the low rating it will remain as this show is awesome! Give it try!
alkalain-919-261622 Forget the ridiculously low reviews, this is a well done, interesting and imaginative show, most of the complaints are about the slow pace, which for most grown-ups who do not suffer from some form of ADD, is just fine. The three main characters are well played, the plot based on a true story has great potential, and the fantasy sequences are superb. And we haven't even started with the cult business yet which, based on Crowley's sexually charged form of occultism, will surely give us some compelling cinematography.
BenjAii It's a vanishingly rare occurrence for the occult to crop up in popular entertainment outside of the horror genre, but "Strange Angel" is that rare breed.If you dial back a few decades from the birth of the 1960's counter-culture in California and look for the precursors of psychedelia, LSD & Hippies, you could trace some of its parentage to the bohemian experimentalists in "Strange Angel".It's 1939 and as William Gibson would say, the future just isn't very evenly distributed yet. Jack Parsons can see the future is in space. That still sounds futuristic when Elon Musk talks about it in 2018 and like Musk, Parsons wants to do something to make it happen. What happens next is the true story of the man who helped spark that future and his unlikely tutelage under the teachings of Aleister Crowley.One episode in and this is already looking good. I'm especially enjoying Rupert Friend's turn as a wild eyed mercurial next door neigbour, who initiates/baptises Jack into the Crowleian mysteries via a swimming pool. I'll be curious to see how this show does. The real Parsons died at age 37 under mysterious circumstances, but certainly packed enough drama into his short life to fill out several seasons if it all works out for "Strange Angel".
Felonious-Punk Fantasy show about a man who is in obsessed with doing something great. It's not the best acted or directed show, but it's tied to history, and it's tied to excitement, and it's tied to religion and strange cults. The parallel story of the Asian hero adds to the color and taste.
