Terminator: Genisys
The original timeline seen from the future perspective - until things start to change....

Wittenberg
12-07-2015

Full of letdowns.. just barely makes it to 'entertaining'
Kyle is now a miscasted dork. Sarah is now omnipotent and omniscient so all excitement is gone. The terminators scenes feel like a 'best of' rehash of earlier movies. It has an unrealistic and strange sterile look to it. The time travel has become a caricaturisation. Arnold was funny though.Terminator Dark Fate
More or less the original story but with more females

Wittenberg
25-04-2020

No
Some action scenes successfully revisit the hard-hitting robot fights and good old car chases. But my god, Sarah Connor is a hideous, disastrous character now and the other ones have to deliver some pretty painful dialogue as well. The forever recovering evil cyborg got boring, too.Terminator 3 Rise of the Machines
Again, a terminator comes back in time to secure the future. Again, he is hunted down by an advanced terminator model

Wittenberg
11-05-2014

A lesser but stilll adequate episode
Not as epic and overwhelming as the preceding parts, in part because of the rather dull main characters. Still, there's plenty of Terminator goodness in here to have a good time. Average actionmovies back then still were more fun than the soulless fx bonanzas we get nowadays.Terminator, The
In the future, killer robotmachines rule, and send a terminator cyborg back to the presents prevent prevent the human rebellion leader from ever being born.

The most audacious and genius movie ever, but does that mean enjoybale
Clearly we have another Nolan gem on our hands, in terms of visuals, music and the mind blowing story. Initially I wondered if the complexity was just too much, getting in the way of enjoyment. But as it starts to digest in days after, you begin to grasp the sheer genius and audacity of this.Temple, The
Three people travel to a mysterious desolate temple in Japan where strange events have been reported

Wittenberg
30-09-2018

They forgot to write it
I quite liked the beginning with moody Japanese scenery and mystery. But as they approach the temple, it looks like they had no more ideas so they just threw in some random, incoherent bland scary stuff and were done with it. Very unsatisfying.Teleios
A spaceship docks with a distant spacestation to retrieve a mysterious cargo

Wittenberg
11-09-2017

The costumes, my god, the costumes!
I think I needed about 7 attempts to watch this all the way through. It is so goofy and off that I thought it would turn into a spacemovie parody, only to realize in horror they are for real. The rest of it is just painfully boring and features a crew wearing the ugliest costumes of all time.Teenage Mutant Turtle Ninjas
When a badguy attempts to poisson the city, the turtles must finally come out in the open and defend the city

Wittenberg
04-12-2014

An unnecessary movie with no audience
If the idiotic concept of TNMT will ever make any sense, it is in a vivid, wacky animated environment. In a real life movie it didn't really work, the story and pacing were bland and the turtles extremely uncomfortable to look at.Ted
A boy's teddybear comes to live and they become best friends.... which becomes problematic when he is an adult

Wittenberg
25-02-2013

Should have been even funnier
The whole idea is so outstandingly funny that I couldn't help feeling somewhat disappointed. But it IS funny.Tau
Woman is kidnapped by a dude working on some AI thing, so she tries to gain the trust of the artificial intercom housekeeper in order to escape

Wittenberg
30-06-2018

Lovely story but difficult to execute - and it shows
While I loved the idea, it would all depend on convincing dialogue and acting whether it would work out. Unfortunately, both are below par and the movie is too slow or mediocre to keep me interested.T-34
A Russian ace tank commander is captured by the germans, but gets a unique opportunity to escape. With a tank, of course.

Wittenberg
06-12-2020

Tank porn. It exists.
A rather bold action flick showing loads of tanks with super slowmo shell penetrations and sweaty screaming Russians. I feared it was more of a videoclip than a movie, but the story catches up and makes it worthwhile and quite exciting indeed. Perfect for tank aficionados like me.Synchronicity
Small teams get a timemachine to run work, one of them gets caught up in paradoxes

Wittenberg
17-06-2018

The story is there. Execution is not.
There's probably a really clever, if not somewhat difficult to follow, story in here. But the really lackluster execution, dull performances, suspiciously limited locations and depressing dark colors made me struggle to care... no matter how much bladerunner music they throw in!Swiss Army Man
A lost and stranded guy finds a corpse on the beach, who's 'special powers' and friendship help him to make the journey home

Wittenberg
13-08-2017

Just because it's unique doens't mean I like farts
I guess there's points for originality and it sort of works in it's own special way, but I couldn't shake the feeling of being pranked into watching someone's bizarre fart joke fantasies.Sweet Home
A group of very different people in an appartment building is faced with fighting monsters

Wittenberg
23-02-2021

The characters hit a nerve I did not know I had
The groundwork was promising; colorful cartoon-like imagery, pleasantly weird monsters and potentially interesting group dynamics. But none of the people is particularly likable. In fact I started to despise many of them up until the point I could no longer watch it. Never had this before.Svart Krabba
In a fictive war, soldiers are send into the night on skates, to cross a lake for a world saving mission

Wittenberg
26-05-2022

Decent little war movie that does things differently.
Overall it doesn't feel very plausible, and some of the combat feels slightly tame and lacking suspense. But it's different, varied and builts up to a unexpectedly large finale and plot twist. An amusing watch for sure.Suspiria (2018)
Talented ballet dancer is accepted in a mysterious danceschool, were something occult is going on

Wittenberg
25-05-2019

Uneasy
While not as deeply disturbing as the of hype would make you believe, it was uneasy for sure. I liked it; photography was beautiful, and the slow tension and mystery keeps you hooked. But at the same time, I was slightly disappointed for not requiring therapy afterwards.Superdeep, The
Russian horror about a rescue team entering the deepest researchfacility on earth where strange things have been occuring

Wittenberg
10-07-2021

Plenty to complain about, but enough going for it
Maybe it didn't quite nail the claustrophobic atmosphere the way it could have, it aches towards a B-movie and most characters are unlikable and simplistic. But I gotta say: the overall concept is creepy and done nicely, and the mold/spore enemy original and impressive. Nice music, tooSuperbad
Two constantly arguing but inseparable friends on a mission to get booze and laid on the last party of the year

Wittenberg
05-08-2018

The Tarantino of highschool movies
The constant and lengthy foul-mouthed dialogues and contemplations create an atmosphere reminiscent of Tarantino movies. It's kind of like an adult version of highschool movies. Cool.Sunshine
On a spacemission to reignate the sun, one ordeal leads to another when they decide to make a small change in the missionplan

Wittenberg
15-06-2013

Beauty and class can outshine anything
This amount of loopholes and illogical elements in the plot would have crippled most movies. But Sunshine is so beautiful, classy and exciting that it outshines them easily. I also love the self aware, scientific-ethical attitude of the crew.Sully
On the miracle emergency plane landing on the Hudson where everyone walked away

Wittenberg
27-08-2017

Over dramatized
The landing appears faithfully recreated and was thrilling to see, but the events surrounding it felt over dramatized. Also, the research committee seemed strangely angry and eager to discredit the pilot's doings, and almost started crying when they couldn't. What??Sucker Punch
Girl is institutionalized, but lives violent fantasies while dancing which help her escape it the end. Or something.

Wittenberg
20-04-2014

Violent video clip, done with much love
Easy to fault, but I was amused by the violent, fabulously stylized, unearthly, anachronistic action, as well as the moody and steamy atmosphere. Absorb it like a videoclip, then you may get it.Stowaway
When a mars mission equiped for a crew of three has a crew of four

Wittenberg
05-05-2021

Interesting and focussed, but a bit mellow
It brings down the story to the essence, features fine design and actors, and certainly had us entertained. But the big finale seems a bit cumbersome and unlikely, and part of me thought the impossible ethical decisions could have been more heart wrenching, and tension more nail-biting.Still Alice
A woman is diagnosed with Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease and tries to deal with it together with her family

RockmeNow
02-03-2015

Impressive
An eye-opener for everybody, including myself, who had not been directly confronted before with the devastating consequences of Early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. There are many good reasons why Julianne Moore won an Oscar for her role in this impressive movie.Stepbrothers
Two senile and failed men must coexist in one house when they become stepbrothers

Part of me thinks it could have been funnier given the two lead actors, but it is sill good fun.Stealth

Saved by coolness
Just when I thought I wouldn't be able to make it through the jetfighter-movie cliches and flawed characters and plot, this movie is saved partially by some decent action scenes and cool moments.Starving Games, The
A parody of guess which movie

Wittenberg
21-08-2015

A turkey of the second kind
A rather dumb and unfunny fest of bad jokes, though some might still accidentally trigger a slight smile now and then. Not the worst of bad parodies.Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars
It's not just bugs that run over Mars, but an evil politician tries to destroy the entire planet - inhabitants included. Troopers to the rescue.

Wittenberg
25-10-2017

Ruined by the characters
Some of it looks dated, some of it looks quite good, some action scenes I liked. But it's all in vain, because of the ultra cheesy, cringe worthy characters that make it feel like a Powerrangers episode... but not in a good, satirical way like the original managed to pull of.Starship Troopers
Friends sign in to combat terror from space. Both their skills and friendship are put to the test.

Wittenberg
26-08-2015

A brutal space fight that requires the right mindset
It all depends on whether you can appreciate the deeper meaning of incredibly cheesy barbie people have soap opera relationship quarrels - followed by dismembering fights with aliens.Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
No point in describing this any other way than: the finale

Wittenberg
03-01-2020

Perfectly unimpressive
What a perfect Starwars movie. It has everything you could possibly want, done in a tasteful and beautiful manner. Yet I walk out the theater feeling indifferent, numb and with no desire to discuss, read up, rethink or relive any of it. I wonder if it's just fatigue, or something more fundamentalStar Wars: The Last Jedi
The last of the rebellion is being hunted down, so they need Skywalker to bring them hope. And a lot of other stuff besides.

Wittenberg
03-01-2018

Too much?
Despite a couple of awesome scenes and a praiseworthy new tone and style, I felt underwhelmed. I am getting tired of some of the star wars ways, the casino sidestory was awful, I didn't like Luke and I was bored during the endless contemplating of the force and good and evil. It's getting too much.Star Wars: The Force Awakens
A map to the location of vanished Luke skywalker causes good and bad to hunt down one another, and a new giant new planet killer device lurks.

And the saga continues!
This incredible movie fully lives up to the expectations. Prepare to be sucked into the star wars universe right from the start. The storyline of the initial 3 star wars movies is partially re-used with the offspring of the initial characters in the lead. Nevertheless, I enjoyed every minute of it!
Wittenberg
30-12-2015

A great, big bad continuation of a great movie
A wonderful blast that looks and feels fantastic, and adds some nice designs and elements to the Star Wars universe. The story though, felt more like an ode to the originals rather adding a lot to it. Building an even bigger deathstar thing was cheap.Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones
Obi finds out about the clone army, and lots of other stuff going on too.

Wittenberg
28-08-2015

Mixed up
While it contains several outstanding scenes and sound effects (seismic charge!) to make it worthwhile, it is let down big time by an overload of boring politics, cringe worthy attempts at drama and awkward slapstick.Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
In a mission to save a planet from a hostile takover, two jedi stumble across a boy with great promise.

Wittenberg
26-09-2013

Majestic saga lost in space
It had everything you could possibly wish for: spaceships, droids, lightsabers, jedi's, aliens and saga. It has a phenomenal pod race. But because of multiple factors, it is a somewhat dull experience.Star Trek into Darkness

Wittenberg
24-04-2017

Awkward and off
The scenes of destruction are mighty, but overall this really felt off. They totally overdid the constant humor which started to feel like slapstick. The story and events also felt awkward and cheesy like the original series, with embarrassing scenes like driving around a motorbike to divert aliensStalingrad
In WWII the battle for Stalingrad, Russians and Germans fight for a strategically situated building and the few women left in the vicinity

Wittenberg
05-10-2014

Actors and story can't keep the few impressive scenes afloat
A good looking - if not over processed - movie, with some very intense scenes that will remain stuck with me. But the rest of story is struggling to bind it all together, with slow and clumsy scenes that fail to show the terror that these men must have been in.Stairs, The
Boy and grandpa find stairs in the woods an go missing. Years later, a group of other hikers find them, unaged. And the stairs. And some demon.

Wittenberg
12-09-2021

Uninspired and unsuccesful horror
The opening gets by (barely), but the adult hikers are a rather annoying bunch (the metalguy is almost unwatchable) and so are the rather uninteresting and vague events they encounter. It's allover they place, like they just threw in some random horror things to fill it up.Squid Game
Out of money and out of a future, a small-time hustler accepts an invitation to mysterious game that offers a great price

Wittenberg
14-11-2021

Unique, dark and bright
While the viral success and hype it generated may seem a bit much, I would agree that it is a fresh, well made series that make you eager for the next episode. The bright colors contrast nicely with the dark theme, you get to like the protagonists and loathe the bad ones.Spy

Dare I say hillarious?
In a time where 'comedies' merely evoke a vague smile at best, I was delighted to find this genuinely funny movie that had me laughing out loud several times. Deliciously nasty and hysterical.Sputnik

Wittenberg
26-08-2020

A bit slow
While subjects like this are always a killer, and I liked the Russian take and atmosphere for a change, I found the movie to be rather sluggish. There's a lot of talking and walking through the hallways with too little excitement or tension, nor did I find everything very credible.SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, The

Wittenberg
08-02-2015

Whack!
Of course you have to GET the hysteria and oddity that is Spongebob. But if you do, you're in for a funny and whacky movie bursting with colors and pleasant anarchy. Incidentally, the 3D version features some of the the most effective and sharpest looking 3D yet!Split

Wittenberg
28-05-2017

Multiple Personality Disorder annoys me more than it scares me
Frankly, I was somewhat bored and agitated by the multiple identities, especially the laughable behavior of the supposed 9 year old. Apart from the identities there's wasn't much in there, nor did I find it very particularly scary. It's okay, but underwhelming.Spine of the Night, The
Animation about a power struggle involving witchcraft

Wittenberg
12-11-2021

Plenty to like but not to feel
Overall a satisfactory experience for animation enthusiast like myself, with some imaginative action and storytelling. But with no background story and no real character to know or love, it's doesn't really hit you emotionally.Spectre
Just when the 00 team is cancelled, Bond faces the architect of all his pain

Wittenberg
16-05-2016

Tight
With a sense of perfection in each scene, the the movie is confident enough to never rush or over-do things, instead rolling along nice and tight. I found Bond himself is a little too 1-dimensional with his grumpiness and fearlessness. The man seems utterly bored with his job.Spectral
Through their special visors, soldiers start to see ghostly figures that start coming after them

Wittenberg
04-06-2017

Decent ingredients but no cake
This started off ok with decent looks and characters, and initially it served the mysterious premise nice and easy. But as it progresses, there's not much more than chases and shootouts that feel distant and never truly excite. Also, the all-knowing McGuyver scientist was getting on my nerves.Spectacular Now, The

How to deal with adolescent hardships (in a non-comic way)
No action or comedy flick, but a nice movie when you are in the right mood for an insightful trip into the world of adolescents and the challenges they have to face. Key words: future plans and careers, (badly ending) relationships, and alcohol abuse (to name just a few we all know so well ;) )Spawn

Not brilliant, but has plenty of tricks to make it work
People weren't to keen on this comic adaptation, but I am quite ok with it. There's a special kind overacting that seems just right for a movie like this, I liked the dark theme and some of the fx, the clown is just awesome and the movie simply entertains.Space Sweepers
Space scavengers find a girl that is also bomb, which marks the beginning of a wild ride

Wittenberg
18-04-2021

Could have been fresh, but gave a headache instead
While I like the designs, FX and fresh vibe, I found it hard to get into the restless and erratic style of the movie, and didn't attach to any of the cartoonish, one-dimensional characters.Soul (2022), The
Prosecutor dying of cancer takes on a murder case that reveals dark secrets and transplants of more than just cells

Wittenberg
29-05-2022

Probably a brillant story but failed in presentation
I can appreciate the deep, well thought out story that stacks several layers of twists on each other, providing a real thinker of a crime story with perhaps a dash of horror. But it is presented so slowly en depressingly that I struggled to notice or care - and to stay awake too.Movies found: 792 | max movies per page: 50 | Showing: 91 - 140
