Prometheus is a simple and beautiful, thought provoking, amazing film that expands the Alien universe beyond its Xenomorph constraints that tied the sequel’s hands. It explores the question of who and why we are here as much as providing entertainment and chills.
Ash vs. Evil Dead season two is very much in the same vein as the first season, and while it really doesn’t explore much new territory fans of season one will fully enjoy the second season, with all its campy humor, blood and guts, and Deadites.
Alien: Covenant’s true heroes are not the xenomorph aliens, but the characters created by Scott and the actors’ performances as the colony just trying to survive the horrific events that have taken over their lives.
Even though The Circle is work fiction its themes are extremely relevant in today's society. A society in which everyone shares and documents everything they do online for the world to see.
Hiddleston’s, Larson’s, Goodman’s, and castaway John C. Reilly’s (Wreck-It Ralph) performances help ground the film in our world while Jackson’s character’s personal struggle with Kong echoes back to Captain Ahab and his “to-the-death” fight with the whale Moby Dick.
People critical that the series should have ended with number seven will be pleasantly surprised by this film. Fate of the Furious is great fun throughout the entire movie. It gives audiences all the thrills and stunts they are looking for in a Fast and Furious film and keeps pushing the boundaries of what you can do with cars (and physics).
To-date, The Fifth Element, is hands down Luc Besson’s most accomplished film. The story is extremely compelling and interesting, the cast blends perfectly with the amazing sets and action, and even though it had a mixed reception when it opened in 1997 it has come to be loved the world over.
The Dolby Atmos track is truly where Smurfs: The Lost Village shines. Audio moves effortlessly from one speaker to another and travels throughout the room. It really feels like you are transported into the audio-visual space of the Smurfs.
While The Belko Experiment will never be anything more than a cult classic film it provides a nice escape for its runtime of 88 minutes. James Gunn and director Greg McLean have created a fun film that anyone who works in the corporate world should see at least once in their life.
