Watched thinking it was action sci fi. There's a sci fi element but it is a mystery movie. Interesting twists. I like that the characters think and act intelligently. Zero woke. Good acting. Kind of slow moving. Some FX that might be CG.

Can't type review. Busy. Building time machine to go back and claim Barbarianna as my honey baby. Also make CG model of that super spiffy phone.

More farming.

This corn will mostly be used to make moonshine to pollute our gasoline. Several useful by products do come from the process though.

Some acting and some writing is not good. Mostly good enough. Several actors we've seen in bigger budget movies or TV.

MERMAID DOWN

Note: Brutal violence -- this may not be a movie for everyone.
Bad writing would have stopped me after the first third but my wish to see the mermaid return to the sea, bad guys punished, and more brutal violence meant viewing it all.

-- PROS
It is filmed reasonably well, the acting is good, and they did a lot on a small budget. The actors manage to give varying degrees of life to the characters even though character development is nearly absent from the script. Though the mermaid does not speak the actress uses expressions and movements to portray her well and present a sense of mystery and that while possessing human level or grater intelligence she is not human.

--CONS
The writing ranges from not good to bad and that is it's weak point. The main flaw is the irrational senseless actions of some of the characters and lack of foundation for their motives. About 1/3 through I saw that all of the male characters were evil or stupid, written without depth, and none did right. I supposed then that it was written by a female. (Research: guy and gal wrote it.) The resilience of the recipients of the violence was ridiculous. I'll grant that the mermaid may be super tough like some sea life and may be magical or supernatural but humans would not have survived.
