Finally got my Blu Ray and just watched it for the second time since the theater. I enjoyed it even more.
It’s hard to explain but it feels way more focused. Anyone can see my previous comments. I agreed with the general consensus that it tried to do too much but I see it differently now. Sure there’s still some things they could have done better but I think it does a good job building up by showing us everyone’s personal situation.
Even the final battle comes off way better. It’s not rushed. There did not need to be a huge city fight. Garraka freezes the entire city including the GB who needed to protect the containment unit. He would have won if it wasn’t for Melody basically because even Nadeem didn’t have a match. Not saying they couldn’t have done it a different way but it’s still well put together.
Another thing people said, including me, was it’s weird Lucky and Trevor hadn’t kept in touch but he says...“when you said you were interning I didn’t know you’d be blowing stuff away with lasers”. So he knew she was coming to NY. Maybe she couldn’t tell him exactly what she was doing since even Winston had not told them about the research center yet. That’s still weird but there could be some reason for it.
It’s hard to put into words. It just clicks. I think everything gets just the right amount of time. Nothing drags on. We see the lab and how it works, Nadeem’s background and why he’s important, Phoebe feeling left out and bonding with Melody, Callie/Grooberson trying to be good parents, Ray getting caught up stuff, Garraka breaking into the firehouse but instead gets himself trapped in the containment unit.
