We asked a bunch of folks on the Digital Trends team what their favorite movie or TV show of 2021 was, and we got some fun and surprising answers
Much like the year that came before it, 2021 was an odd year for movies. But despite having to navigate the strange, pandemic-tainted landscape of the entertainment industry, filmmakers still managed to release an impressive number of excellent movies and TV shows this year. So as 2021 draws to a close, Digital Trends decided to look back on the year that was and remember our favorite silver screen experiences.
Preserving the show’s essence, which translates surprisingly well to the screen, has produced one of the best films of the year — a touching portrait of how strangers came together in the face of such an evil act to show that no form of terror can strip away our innate compassion and humanity.If you watched the trailer for Pig, you probably thought you were in for an absurd time. The film’s marketing makes it look like John Wick, but with Nicolas Cage on the hunt for his stolen pet pig.
At face value, it’s really just another riff on the “hell hath no fury like a soft-spoken, retired military dude” formula that brought us movies like Taken and John Wick, but while the plot isn’t particularly groundbreaking or fresh, other elements of the movie are just so well done that it’s impossible to not enjoy it. The fight choreography and stunt work are absolutely top-notch. It’s not like other action flicks, where the hero dishes out beatings and barely takes more than a hit or two.
All in all, it’s easily the best movie of the year. If you still have doubts, picture yourself flying across the vastness of Arrakis in a dragonfly-shaped Ornithopter!My two favorite shows of the year are so remarkably different that it was impossible to choose just one.
