Indie films-games and something anything else inbetween! At IndyFilm Oneblaze we try to highlight Indy creative projects.

The foundation, a series that can be found on APPLETV+, is not your typical sci-fi space-opera.This series can be compared to the Dune series due to the similar artistic aesthetics, atmosphere and mood. Another point of comparison would be the heavy political overtones. Strangely enough the series is not entirely action heavy nor does it feature any space battles, the series mostly takes place on the ground environments.

Humans have long since left earth and our solar system and are truly now children of the stars not in the veins of starwars but as I mentioned closer to a similar series called Dune. If you have not seen Dune this comparison may seem mute. The highlight of this series is the set and wardrobes. The set design ranges from futuristic to quite barren. I do recommend watching this series on a rather large screen or projector just to take in scope of the sets.

The foundation, was a book series written by American author Isaac Asimov. Having not read the books I would love to know what were things taken from the book and what simply benched to make the tv depiction more appealing. The tv series as mentioned is a future viewpoint of politics and bureaucratic symbolism. There is one ruling government simply called EMPIRE which is controlled by the 3 Clones of a long dead ruler. These rulers go by the moniker Brother Dawn, Brother Day and Brother Dusk. The three clones are from three different life point of Cleon the first.

The series first setting environment is that of a water planet where we meet one of the protagonist. She is invited to the Empire home world to solve a mathematical equation. The series of events that transpire begin to roll into a political dilemma of astronomical proportions. From there the series drags you through a series of backstabbing and sabotage. Which leads to further galaxy spanning events.

That is as much detail I would like to state to not ruin your entrance into the series. You may check it out on Appletv+. Here is a trailer preview.

Wow just wow, this series was a wild, crazy and amazing ride, John Cena really is a talented actor. I recently saw him in a film called vacation friends and all I can say was I laughed extremely hard. John Cena’s character is called the Peacekeeper much like the name of the series. His character was based on same character played in the Suicide Squad film of 2021. Similarly to the film his character is a vigilante but unlike the film he is simply trying to redeem and find himself. More which I will get into later. Due to my lack of knowledge of the peacekeeper’s back story I felt more intrigued to find out more about this character and was alarming more glued to the episodic journey. The cast was an interesting mix of film and tv legends and some new faces. Each was able to carry their own weight but sadly I have to say John Cena was front and center and simply shone brightly as Peacekeeper. From episode one to the finale I was at the edge of my seat just hoping they complete this season on the highest note and they delivered.

In this series the peacekeeper is simply trying to redeem himself after killing Rick Flag along with battling his other many demons that come in the form of his brother and father. Aside from that he is a womanizer among many things but has a big heart for his new team and simply tries his best to do what he feels is right and true, can you even believe he is a bit hesitant to kill, just a little bit. Either way as mentioned this is simply a joy ride. Strap in as this is a one way trip through mayhem and awesomeness.
