Finally saw the movie after seeing the trailer enough that I feel like I can recite it from memory. Thankfully the movie was actually good! James McAvoy crushed it as did the other cast members. Good pacing where you are slowly reeled in until the turn. And you can likely can sniff out some of what is going on but it keeps its darkest secrets well hidden making the true realization of what’s going on all the more disturbing. Lot…

Fun popcorn movie and overall good especially for its genre. Very cool for someone who grew up watching the old X-men movies with Hugh Hackman to see him do one final ride. I know Logan was probably the perfect end to that character but this does a good job of not tainting the legacy that was already established by that movie. Yes it was filled with cameos, but most of these were actually good and made sense and not just…

I thought this movie was really good, but I really disliked the last 5 minutes of the movie. I wish it would have ended differently because the final scene somewhat diminishes the rest of the film in my mind. Really loved everything else about it and thought that otherwise it was an awesome directorial debut from Zoë Kravitz. Great acting, fun and funny, thrilling, and deeply disturbing. Excellent commentary on some of the events that have come to light of…

This was a devastating watch. I was so absorbed by how horrific the violence was I didn’t fully pick up on how horrific the story was playing out to be. The message of this one cuts very deep, like the graphic nature of much the experience of Nawal. The acting was superb, by all involved. I’m stunned the budget was only $6.5 million given how incredible the production looked. One of the most tragic and impactful films I’ve watched and…

This one rocked. Best since the original Alien film imho. The return to the practical effects made a dramatic difference in the quality of the film for the better. Returning to old school monitors and physical buttons in lieu of the holographic futuristic screens of the recent installments Prometheus and Covenant also was beautiful to see. The sets were grandiose and expertly used to the advantage of the story. Finally we get more of the claustrophobic feeling that was so…

I loved this mainly because we need more dumb action movies like this. Statham is really the only one I can think of still making bad but fun action flicks like Schwarzenegger did in the 80s, complete with corny one liners and puns. This ruled purely because of that. It was a decent story with a very hateable antagonist which I loved. Everyone can agree scammers who prey on old people are the scum of the earth. Gets a little…

I didn’t hate this as much as a lot of people I know did, but I think most of my issues come from the second half of the film and from the era it was made. I think there were a lot of interesting aspects to the movie, but ultimately it disappointed me because it was an alien movie, almost completely devoid of the titular Xenomorph that haunted audiences for years. The origin story was somewhat interesting, but it for…

Such a groundbreaking movie. To accomplish what this film does in 1979 is nothing short of a miracle. The sets are stunning, giving you the claustrophobic feeling of what a future blue collar interstellar traveler would experience. Excellent dialogue that seamlessly moves the plot forward and builds the characters. The pacing is incredible, like a roller coaster the viewer follows the ups and downs of the crew. You feel highly tense one moment, then are able to breathe a very…
