Star Wars: The Last Jedi has hit theatres with a bang and finally answers the question, how much Porg is too much Porg. Just kidding. But, there was genuine interest for the second instalment of the sequel Star Wars trilogy, curiosity about whether the first instalment, The Force Awakens (TFA), was a fluke and if…
2013 re-introduced the world to the Man of Steel. The story of the Last Son of Krypton, directed by Zack Snyder, was met with a decent reception and looked to be a promising start to DC’s answer to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However one by one, the films that followed were greeted with a tepid…
The God of Thunder (Chris Hemsworth) is back in a new adventure and this time he’s brought his sense of humour along. Thor: Ragnarok finds the Asgardian (or the strongest Avenger as he likes calling himself) in a spot of bother as he tries to stop Hela (Cate Blanchett), the Goddess of Death, from destroying…
Based on a series of French science fiction comics called Valérian and Laureline, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets is the latest offering from one of the more imaginative directors in the industry, Luc Besson. The story is centred on two space-time agents, Valerian and Laureline, as they are charged with returning a…
It’s not very often that the films within a movie trilogy get stronger with each subsequent entry, but the Apes franchise has managed to do just that. Following the great Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, director Matt Reeves caps off the trilogy with one of the darkest entries in the franchise that also…
Well there’s no doubt about it, this movie rocks. A collaboration with Sony and Marvel, this is the second reboot that Spidey has gone through on the big screen but, unlike the previous attempt, this one sticks the landing. Avoiding rehashing the origin story that the mainstream audience is now probably sick to death of,…
Ouch. Well that was a painful slog. You would think that after seeing the previous four Transformers movies I would have learnt my lesson. But no, I keep giving Michael Bay the benefit of the doubt, only to have him let me down yet one more time. I’m beginning to wonder if I have some…
Rated R (for sci-fi violence, language and nudity) I’m beginning to think that all scientists in the Alien universe are dumb-asses. It’s the only theory that can explain the decisions that are made by the characters in Alien: Covenant. But of course, if they did act intelligently I guess we really wouldn’t have a movie to…
Rated PG-13 for sequences of violence, language, and suggestive content. The first Guardians of the Galaxy movie was irreverent, quirky and unlike anything else in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its sequel, Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.2 is irreverent, quirky and unlike anything else in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Basically, if you didn’t like the first…
Rated R (for language, sci-fi violence, horror) After a close call reigning in an out of control satellite, a multi-national group of scientists on the international space station ISS are charged with examining soil samples from Mars for evidence of extra-terrestrial life. In these samples lie dormant single cellular organisms and when British biologist Hugh…
