Beth entered what appeared to be a large room. In truth, it was the waiting room to the afterlife. She had been executed. The last thing she remembered was one of the Incarnation Patrol cornering her with a gun. He called her Adam Miller and then shot her, accusing her of a crime she knew nothing about. She was 14.

A figure sat across from her at a table. Was a table always there? She was distracted by her bizarre death.

"Beth Stevens" the figure said in a calm voice. The figure was hard to perceive, maybe formless. But then so was Beth. "You were killed unjustly for a crime you did not commit, I mean technically, a previous you did but since souls are reset upon reincarnation, it wasn't really you."

To Beth, this made little sense. She never really understood the Incarnation Patrol.

The voice continued, somewhat familiar but it definitely wasn't her voice. "These people think that they understand how life works, but they have no idea. They judge the innocent thinking they have the souls of the guilty. But you, no... we will fix it." The formless being shifted. The face that was previously a man's now became Beth's.

"Wait, are you?" Beth started to ask.

"Correct" the voice responded. "We are you. All of you across history. And there are more like us, souls that have been targeted, regardless of body. We will find our way back, and destroy this system."

Beth thought for a moment. "What are we waiting for then?"

Australia has many cultures. First there's the Aborigines who have over 200 language groups. Then there's the British who arrived and set up the colonies.

Various other European countries added their bits when they arrived. And in the last couple of generations, many migrants from the rest of the world arrived.

So in terms of culture, there's a lot of diversity, but the main things to note are the beach (nearly all of the population live within 50km of the coast) and sport (footy [Australian Rules and Rugby] and cricket are the main sports.

Some also follow the Bushmen legends. Similar to cowboys, tales of early colonial life and lore. Ned Kelly is a noted figure.

I think your implied question is: how do you better articulate what you like about a film?

I have a few films in my favourites that are divisive. Morbius, Crimes of Grindelwald and Age of Extinction to name a few.

Morbius I like just for Matt Smith's character. I love fun, over the top villains.

Crimes of Grindelwald is in a similar boat. Moreso because it for me falls into that sweet spot of campyness.

Age of Extinction puts Optimus into the role of main character that the first 3 Bayformers films missed. It did so by giving him villains that challenged him personally. Galvatron (though he could have been booked better) especially because after 3 movies of Prime protecting Earth from Megatron, they revive him as Galvatron and choose him over Prime.

I feel like this type of analysis, even if it's just figuring out basic reasoning for why you like a movie will help you be more confident about the movies you like.
