movie10Project Hail Mary · imdb.com · I was there on opening day, could not wait any longer. I found it heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, and for me it sits right next to Interstellar, Arrival and Contact. I will watch this at least two more times this year.
movie7Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die · imdb.com · Authentic and everything was very intentionally played. Unfortunately it is for me personally too incoherent. Good references to Stephen King, John Romero and other horror and fantasy tropes. Worth seeing but if you are looking for something wilder and ambitious, watch Everything Everywhere All at Once.
movie928 Years Later: The Bone Temple · imdb.com · I like this one even more than the previous one (9/10). Would have been a 10/10 if it had less gore and torture scenes. I hope they make the sequel and it does not end in limbo.
movie6The Roses · imdb.com · Great until it isn’t. I think the falling in love part and how they portray the early years of marriage is well done. Would have been an 8/10 for me had they ended the film 45 minutes earlier with a white fade.
movie7Zootopia 2 · imdb.com · I watched it in the cinema with Tilian. About as good as the first one, which Tilian has seen ten times, and this one he’s already seen twice. It’s crazy this one made 1.83 billion USD at the box office so far.
movie6Predator: Badlands · imdb.com · The best parts of the film were the ones without the Predator, everything with regard to Weyland-Yutani was entertaining. If you’re in the mood for something from the Alien/Predator universe, Prey, Alien Romulus and Alien: Earth are the better pick.
movie6Body of Lies · imdb.com · Ten years ago I would have given this a 9/10, it was one of my favorite movies. Today it feels too black and white and stereotypical. The twists remain a highlight though.
movie6Death of A Unicorn · imdb.com · Spoon-fed satire. The film explains every joke and theme twice, just in case you weren’t paying attention. A24 on autopilot that would’ve worked better as a 20-minute short.
movie7Eddington · imdb.com · Chaotic like the last few years themselves it tries to capture. Surprisingly resonated with me, despite being very US-centric.
movie5Tron: Ares · imdb.com · Feels like they built a movie around a soundtrack. I knew it was questionable renting it and still left disappointed by its lack of substance. The 3D printing and digitization of matter was the coolest bit.
movie9One Battle After Another · imdb.com · Appreciated the overall length, felt nicely timed. Sean Penn’s acting was great. It felt like a whole and well rounded movie.
movie6The King · Good cinematography, good acting, but felt rushed towards the end. I thought it was a TV pilot at first.
movie7Captive State · Really enjoyed this one. A bit lengthy at 110 minutes but worth a Sunday evening. Characters don’t develop much but they don’t need to - the acting carries it.
