3DD!3

今日は... I wasn't expecting horror, nor an action whirlwind, because the Land of the Rising Sun usually goes deeper into motivations and digs into people, and Terminator Zero didn't disappoint. There's less action, but it's properly bloody and imaginative. The combination of situations from the first two films and lots of references are a delight. Story-wise, it definitely could have been condensed and the characters aren't particularly interesting almost until the finale. The concept of creating alternate realities is interesting, but it needs to be tightened up... in the second season? The art is great, the metal skeletons look as iconic as Cameron's, it often reminded me of The Animatrix: The Second Renaissance Part 1. Great music.

A cute premise, original and enjoyable, plus an extremely likeable Josh Hartnett as a laid-back dad at a concert of his daughter's favourite singer. Pity about the few hallucinatory coincidences that take the edge off the thrilling cat-and-mouse game. Still, a very satisfying M. Night Shyamalan, who this time was mostly having fun and promoting his daughter's singing career. What a great dad.

The really go at each other considering they are blind. The action is better and the relationships are crazier. The dumb cow of the queen is put on the back burner at the end, but even there she does damage where she can. It annoys me that the blind people have torches lit by their beds so the audience can see – stupidly but we can see – and the lesbian romance is almost pathetic. The Voss brothers and their conflict are the biggest trump cards, and while it's waved away the end, it's there and it's very very good. Oh, and the finale promises a revival of Stargate: Atlantis. Dynamite Rodney MacKey vs Ronon Dex! That's gonna be a hell of a showdown!

This was worse than usual. The weird antics of SpongeBob can usually be endured with flashes of real humour, but there's nothing here. Sandy the squirrel and her return to Texas makes no sense and your brain atrophies. Kids might be fine with it, though.

An enjoyable romantic comedy set in the attractive world of NASA in its glory days. While it does go nicely at times, it often drops the ball and Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson don't have the right chemistry. The ousted PR ad exec is a carbon copy of Mad Men's Don Draper, including the fake resume, which is fine, but the relationship with the resort manager is weird and stilted. The comedic elements work but there aren't enough of them. It's too long. Woody Harrelson is great as always.

It didn't make a lick of sense, a lot of things contradicted each other, but a few ideas weren't bad. It's obvious that they're flying blind, like in the last series of Game of Thrones, because the comic-book isn't finished yet either. So the structure and the idea for the finale are interesting, but the execution is lame. The best part is the flashback to a mission in the past. Victor is annoying and, like Vanya, he used to be at least a little more and he remains the main reason the world is going to shit. Five is a stud, but he struggles with a daunting task. The others are more or less for numbers. Well thank god it's over, I may fondly remember the first two seasons, but I always prefer to read the source material.

The fourth star is for the effort. Everything from the first tones to the last font of the credits breathes the desire to please fans of the Alien franchise and get that money-making machine running again. Ingredients from the first and second film and unfortunately a little of the worst of Prometheus are mixed into a mostly well-functioning nostalgic throwback to the good old days. Personally, I liked the part in the Remus better, where we're just discovering and the cast, led by the excellent Cailee Spaeny and a larger-than-life David Jonsson, who steals every scene, stupidly defrost the fridge. Fede Álvarez has taken care of everything, he just wanted to please a lot of people with the script (Ridley) so instead of being more his own he, unfortunately, borrows the worst from Prometheus: the ending. If he had stayed with Alien the die-hard fans would have been happy. If he had been more original we could have all sat on our asses, but the middle way he chose spoiled the flavor a bit. We definitely want more, but with original ingredients and not lame solutions to dead-end situations. The ideas just didn't end up in the hole. I'd take the proposed director's crossover with Dan Trachtenberg's Prey with great pleasure.

They have created a weapon that allows to wage war without people actually dying and its "bullets" are relatively cheap, and they are destroying our infrastructure with it! A nice documentary that devolves into crying over spilt milk and democratic agitprop at the end. Still, the introduction is very good and George W. Bush's ill-conceived attempt has resulted in an avalanche effect that has made previously under-appreciated IT a very important part of any business today and those who don't have it robust are in trouble. X.com will probably be an interesting continuation of this (un)managed chaos.

A great and seemingly underrated flick. An honestly constructed story about an old garbage man who is more than he seems. Rocky-like advice and reasoning turns into an action-packed romp in the second half. Stallone growls and throws people through walls. The hammer tapping has drive and something to say about good and evil. Very good.

A classic American disaster romp, with likable actors and nature destroying towns, factories and power lines. Daisy Edgar-Jones is incredibly endearing, i want more of her, and Glen Powell kicks his career into high gear, and the tornadoes return with full force. The romantic line works well, but the action is the main thing here, and there's plenty of it. Cars and people flying, sheet metal being ripped and ears whistling. Lee Isaac Chung delivered what he was supposed to, but it's hard to say if he'll earn a threequel. Man kills nature once again, what do the environmentalists say?
