Yay! Netflix on December 22, 2017.
Will Smith remakes Alien Nation except elves and orcs in modern day Los Angeles.

Wasn't as bad as I heard, but not great either. It was interesting more than entertaining.
My biggest complaint was the elves. Elves may be super fast, but super strong? No.
I wouldn't tell you to avoid this, but if you never see it, you're not missing anything.
BTW, Will Smith is the star, but they don't let him "Will Smith", so that's an issue too.

The kid and I enjoyed it, and I disagree, there were a couple small moments of Will Smith being Will Smith.
He and I also had some discussion about how a world that's always had these mythical creatures as a reality could still end up in 2016 looking like 2016, today. I told him I think this is a sequel to the Lord of the Rings movies, like 5k years later. I wonder if that's the premise the writer started with.

I'll tune in. Bright wasn't great, but it was good enough, and the concept interesting enough that I want more.

I wonder how Netflix determines it was "worth it." Yeah, 11m people watched in the first week, which rivals shit like Star Wars, I guess (I don't really know, box office money <> eyeballs, and I can't find those numbers), but how does Netflix equate that to their own money? Do they figure anyone got a new subscription just to watch this, or didn't cancel because it was so good?
My wild ass guess is that if they see a slight uptick in Netflix membership after this, they will associate it with Bright.

I think their model is subscription based, and then ratings after that.
Point being, I don't think they can accurately keep track of who is signing up for what, but they can track who watches what and when.
So watch your favorites quickly and often.

Elves are super bad-asses in this movie. Except when it's more convenient for them to not be.
Decent. The racial allegory was certainly, uh, not subtle.
It's not me, it's someone else.
