My Steven Spielberg ranking reflects my love for cinema that balances wonder and humanity. His films shaped how I understand storytelling where spectacle exists, but emotion always comes first. I’m drawn to how Spielberg captures childhood

On my first watch, I thought this was just about a capitalist exploiting people through his own version of forced labor.





Right from the start, I was already impressed with the blocking, continuous shots, and cinematography.






Surprisingly, the CGI is not off because of the combination of animatronics which are appreciated because the level of realness is high.

It looks great. It looks real. I was genuinely nervous and scared for their safety.

I watched this while scrolling through HBO Max’s critically acclaimed section, so I had no idea what the movie was about.

Tinry ko panoorin sa 4DX and maganda naman, para ka talagang nasa boat, halos nakaka trigger ng sea sickness 🤢.
