Buzzer Beater
Hideyoshi is a homeless boy living in New York in the near future, who survives by hustling other kids in basketball games. But now he's been drafted into a pro team-a pro team with a very unique goal. There once was a time when humans dominated the game of basketball. But times have changed, and now the physically superior alien players have taken over the game, and there are barely any human players next. But Hideyoshi's team—the first all-human team to compete in the Space League—intends to change all that, and bring the championship back home to Earth.

Just let me get something off my chest, I used to work in history and the thing that irritates me the most when I read reviews on things like this are the people yelling "Not Historically accurate!!!!!" Yeah, you're right, it's not historically accurate...it's made to entertain. 300 wasn't historically accurate and if it were, it would have been a completely different movie. No, there are some things I take issue with, if you make Othello White, for instance, that I can't stand...or the BBC's Black Achilles. Those are taking a bit too many liberties for me. Achilles isn't exactly Nick Fury, if you make him Black it kind of stops him from being an ancient Greek. That being said, The Bible Continues does kind of do that, but not at all to an extreme. There are a few instances when you are like, really, he's supposed to be an Ancient Greek?...nope, doesn't look the part. But that's few and far between and you get the sense that the decisions were made for pro talent and not to pull a Last Jedi. Moving on....The Bible I absolutely LOVED because of how it was segmented...just long enough to draw you in and short enough not to get dull. it was perfect. This is not done the same way. So you don't have the Earnest Hemingway fear of being boring feel to it and instead you get segments that drag and, in some cases, drag long enough to both feel preachy and get very, very dull. True it is telling a different story, and it is also true that the talent is still there and in spades...but the execution this time around is lacking. The first take the segments hit you fast and kept you entertained...and this one seems drawn out. The best comparisons is "North and South" where you are watching it, you recognize that it is still good...but that doesn't stop you from getting bored with long parts of it. If you want to sit through it...it isn't bad. But if you want to watch something about Jesus, you have both "The Last Temptation of Christ" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" that both deal with the subject matter in a way that doesn't seem to drag. Watch it if it's on, you won't be disappointed, but don't go out of your way to catch it, it's not worth that amount of effort.
