Sacred Force Fire, Sacred Force Flame

[setsuled]

I really enjoyed last night's Acolyte, I found myself getting caught up in he story. Called "Destiny", it was directed by Kogonada, a man mainly known for making video essays and supplements for The Criterion Channel. He certainly understands pace and flow and that pays off well. Interestingly, though, I found myself reminded more of Star Trek: The Next Generation than of Star Wars. The teleplay by Jasmyne Flournoy and Eileen Shim focuses on relationships and anthropological problems and some of the sets looked like TNG or maybe '70s Doctor Who.

By the way, I'm reviewing the new episodes of Doctor Who on my blog, if anyone's interested.

The Acolyte is available on Disney+.
