Bean Watches: Star Trek: The Original Series (1966)

 Howdy all, and welcome back to another blog post!

I am currently in the process of writing up my travel blog for Denmark (back in April 2024) as well as Tokyo (August 2024), however, it's taking longer than planned! In the meantime, I have been watching all the Star Trek TV Series from release order, and thought I'd review them and let you know what I think. Without further ado, here is the review for Star Trek: The Original Series:

Star Trek: The Original Series (1966)

The 1966 Star Trek series is an excellent introduction to the universe. It’s amazing how different the show has come when you compare it to some of the newer Star Trek incarnations. The characters can sometimes be frustrating to deal with, but nevertheless the stories are different each episode and are even referred to in later series. The special effects are great for the timeframe it was filmed in, however, some of them haven’t aged too well, let’s put it that way. I’d recommend giving the original series a watch, especially if you like me are a fan of the Sci-Fi genre. It’s also amazing to watch a series that is from the 60s, is Sci-Fi and isn’t recorded in Black & White (am looking at you original Doctor Who).

Total rating: 4 beans out of 5

Bean Watches: The Marvels (2023)

Hello all and welcome back to another film review! Today's review is of the latest cinematic installment to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, the Marvel's! I hope that this review is as spoiler-free as possible, so let's dive into it! The Marvel's released on the 10th of November 2023 in cinemas for the fans of the MCU to enjoy. The basic plot is that Ms. Marvel, Captain Marvel and Monica Rambeau all team up to after their powers cause them to start switching places with everyone each time they use their powers. The cast of the film include Brie Larson, Teyonah Parris, Iman Vellani, as well as Samuel L. Jackson and Zawe Ashton. I thought that the VFX in this film were superb and that the film fit in okay with the universe. In order to understand the plot, you don't need to watch all the MCU things in the run-up. Watching Captain Marvel, Wandavision and Ms. Marvel may help you understand things, but it's entertaining nonetheless. The Good : The film, costumes and so...

Greetings and Salutations to you all! Todays blog post will be on everything you’d want to know about Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and whether it is worth the hype! So let’s dive into the Magic Kingdom! The Introduction Magic Kingdom park entrance Magic Kingdom opened on October 1, 1971 as the sister park to the already successful, Disneyland in Anaheim, California. The park has 5 lands that surround the magnificent castle in the centre; Adventureland, Frontierland, Liberty Square, Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.

Greetings and Salutations to everyone! Since my last post, I have finished my lovely two week holiday in Florida and returned to the manky/miserable weather of the UK! Fear not though, as I will be continuing on with my reviews of the theme parks (totally not compensating for not being there). So, let's dive into the review of Epcot! The Introduction The famous Spaceship Earth with the Food & Wine festival advert Epcot (or the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) opened on the 1st of October, 1982, as Walt Disney's idea for a futuristic community where people could work and live. This idea then evolved into the second theme park of the Walt Disney Resort, where the park was separated into two sections, Future World (now World Nature, World Celebration and World Discovery) and World Showcase, which hosts pavilions from various countries, such as France, the United Kingdom and Norway for example.  Epcot has evolved a lot over the years into the park we see today, inc...
