Free Guy – Cool idea but…
The story of this movie is a pretty cool idea but unfortunately it is somewhat ruined by Disney’s woke brigade. Continue reading Free Guy – Cool idea but…
Category: Science Fiction
Moonfall – Science BS but still entertaining.
Bottom line, despite the absence of science a ludicrous story, to me, this was a quite entertaining (science) fiction movie with plenty of special effects and action. Continue reading Moonfall – Science BS but still entertaining.
Jurassic World Dominion – Mediocre at best.
Well, the dinosaur special effects are quite decent. Unfortunately that is more or less the only reason to watch this movie. Continue reading Jurassic World Dominion – Mediocre at best.
Prey – Fairly mediocre.
Overall the movie is watchable and better than previous instalments in the franchise but that is about it. Continue reading Prey – Fairly mediocre.
Dune (2021) – Great movie!
This was movie is definitely in there vying for the title “best movie that I have watched this year”. Continue reading Dune (2021) – Great movie!
Black Widow: Plenty of stupid choices but fairly entertaining nonetheless.
Well, I have to confess that I found this movie fairly entertaining despite the fact that there have been more than a few stupid decisions made when making it. Continue reading Black Widow: Plenty of stupid choices but fairly entertaining nonetheless.
Boss Level: A quite fun action romp.
Didn’t really know what this movie was when I got it but I have to say that it was a quite fun action romp and although I am usually very much against time travel stories this one worked for me. Continue reading Boss Level: A quite fun action romp.
Skylines: Not as bad as many reviews say.
Maybe you have to be a bit more of a science fiction fan than most to like this movie but, personally, I do not really understand why its ratings seems to be so poor? Sure it is not great but I rather enjoyed it. Continue reading Skylines: Not as bad as many reviews say.
Monsters of Man: B-movie kind of decent.
Make no mistake about it. This is a B-movie and should really be judged as such. As a B-movie it is a decent enough movie. Continue reading Monsters of Man: B-movie kind of decent.
Coma: Not bad actually.
It is not at all a bad movie. It is quite surrealistic and it does indeed take some time to figure out what is really going on. The landscape in which the main protagonist finds himself is weird, depressing and beautiful at the same time. I have to say that I found the special effects quite well done. Continue reading Coma: Not bad actually.
Godzilla vs Kong: I actually enjoyed this one.
I have to admit that I expected not to like this movie but to my surprise I quite liked it. Continue reading Godzilla vs Kong: I actually enjoyed this one.
Tenet: Weird time travel but still fairly cool.
I have to say that I approached this movie with some hesitation and perhaps with an assumption that I wouldn’t like it since I have an aversion towards time travel in movies and books. It is more often than not that the author gets it more or less spectacularly wrong and it turns into a mess. Continue reading Tenet: Weird time travel but still fairly cool.
Terminator Dark fate: Not as bad as I feared.
I was a bit scared when they announced a new Terminator movie. After all the last couple of movies in this franchise has been less than stellar. I have to say that this one was actually not too bad. Not stellar, it had its issues, but not too bad indeed. Continue reading Terminator Dark fate: Not as bad as I feared.
Dark Phoenix: Not great but not as bad as I feared.
Far from the greatest X-Men movie but it’s not that bad either. Continue reading Dark Phoenix: Not great but not as bad as I feared.
Godzilla King of the Monsters: Better than the 2014 movie.
If this hadn’t been a cool giant monster movie with a lot of special effects I would have scored it a lot lower. However, I am a sucker for these kinds of movies and I really like Godzilla. Continue reading Godzilla King of the Monsters: Better than the 2014 movie.
Spider-Man Far From Home: Decent movie, lousy ending.
I have to say that it was a decent enough movie. I didn’t exactly regret having forked out the money to watch it in the cinema but that’s about it. It’s far from a great movie. Continue reading Spider-Man Far From Home: Decent movie, lousy ending.
Mortal Engines: I quite liked it actually.
I have to say that I liked this movie a lot. It is kind of fantasy, science fiction (emphasis on fiction here) and steam punk (or perhaps I should say diesel punk) mixed together. Continue reading Mortal Engines: I quite liked it actually.
Alita – Battle Angel: Not bad at all. I quite enjoyed this movie.
I quite enjoyed this movie. Of course it was a good start that it was directed by Robert Rodriguez. It is perhaps a bit of a young adult movie but that did not stop this old fart from enjoying it. Continue reading Alita – Battle Angel: Not bad at all. I quite enjoyed this movie.
The Predator: Written by yet another writer with below average intelligence.
Well, I could write that this was a disappointment but, quite frankly, my expectations was not that high to begin with. Hollywood’s remakes of good old classics have been more miss than hit lately. This is a good example of it. Continue reading The Predator: Written by yet another writer with below average intelligence.
Venom: Enjoyable but could have been better.
I have to say that I was a little disappointed. The main reason I felt for this is that the main protagonist is really not someone I could feel like I would root for. He is such a despicable douche-bag. Continue reading Venom: Enjoyable but could have been better.
2001: Magnificent…and excruciatingly boring.
I remember watching this movie as a kid and was profoundly disappointed. Today I can more appreciate it for what it is. However, even today, I have to say that I find the movie excruciatingly boring. Continue reading 2001: Magnificent…and excruciatingly boring.
Aquaman: Good superhero and special effects extravaganza.
I have to say that, overall, I had quite a blast watching this movie. It is indeed a good superhero and special effects extravaganza. In addition it is quite beautiful. Continue reading Aquaman: Good superhero and special effects extravaganza.
The Meg: Dragged down by the silly idea of aiming for a PG-13 rating.
Well, when the credits started to roll I cannot say that I felt it had been a waste of time and money. I did indeed have some enjoyment watching this movie. However, it could have been a lot better. Continue reading The Meg: Dragged down by the silly idea of aiming for a PG-13 rating.
Solo: Quite enjoyable actually
What I wanted was a simple and straightforward action roller coaster and that was pretty much what I got. Continue reading Solo: Quite enjoyable actually
