Full of good things
It was quite heavy on sub stories and plots, risking convolution and hysteria. But luckily it manages to stay on the good side of things, keeping everything on rails and delivering colorful, whack fun and expanding on the franchise's unique humor, graphics and (80s!) vibe.White Noise
A teacher's life turn upside down when a toxic cloud passes over

A strange disaster movie about communication
This movie has seemingly normal, recognizable people in a seemingly familiar disaster movie, but something is off and strange throughout. It's mostly the dialogues, that seem to make a statement about how we (don't) communicate and are disconnected from each other. Remarkable but satisfying.Jupiter Ascending
Ordinary girl is destined to play a crucial role in intergalactic dynasties and their plans to harvest earth

Wonderful space entertainment with some non-lethal flaws
Sure there are problems; it doesn't really enter your heart, and the frantic action can be hard and tiring to follow. Make no mistake though, as this is a grand deluxe space opera spectacle with a story, design, scale, characters and fantasyworld to rival Starwars.The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
An office nobody frequently gets lost in his daydreams, but for a last assignement and a love interest, his adventures must become real

Wonderfull movie that had even more potential
Great idea, beautifully done in a movie with a big heart. I thought the pacing was not quite right and it could/should have been even more magical.Oxygene

A bold idea done pretty well
A bold and interesting idea, but will looking at the same confined woman for an entire movie be interesting enough? During the first half I wasn't sure, but then it comes up with enough twists and some impressive shots to make it work. Not by a huge margin, but certainly enough.Lucy

Survives its many flaws
I wish the superpowers were a little less extreme, the science a bit more refined, the pacing a but more delicate. It's also unfortunate that the superpowers are only used for fighting goons, not something more poetic. Despite all that, it still is a very entertaining, smart and quite a cool movie.Causeway

Impressively acted drama
A small, uncomplicated story that works because of slew of actors at the top of their game and an intimate, delicate atmosphere. It never becomes over-dramatic and it dares to be quite and just let the silence, expressions and stares speak for themselves.Katla
In a small Icelandic town situated next to an active volcano, people that already exist or existed rise from the ashes

Moody en interesting mystery
It can be a tad sluggish, and I sometimes became frustrated with the incomplete and vague way people talked. Mostly though, the story is intriguing, and the easy going pace combined the Icelandic setting created a lovely, mysterious glow.Dead Pool
Dead Pool is off to avenge his creator (sure the superhero skills are cool but what it did to his skin, not so much)

Refreshingly nasty
With his bad mouth, self awareness, humor and ultra cool action scenes, Dead Pool is a breath of fresh air amidst his unbearably boring Marvel colleagues. Story wise, it could step up a bit though as that felt shallow and plain.Dredd

Fine heavy duty action
Movies that occur in a single place can feel somewhat cheap. But I quite enjoyed this moody, dark, heavy action flick with some beautiful slo-mo scenes and sounds.Movies found: 1050 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 241 - 250
