Lacklustre, even for a a shark movie
For some reason big shark movies get a pass for not being of much quality, but even so this one is a bit problematic. There was a lack of inspiration to do actual sharks scenes, so there's a lot of chatty fillers about the environment and vague folklore. Some subplots even seemed abandoned.The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It
The paranormal detectives try to trace the orgins of a boy's evil curse, apperantly to use as defense in a court case

A lacklustre horror/thriller/detective story
While it may be original, I did not find the detective/court story very appealing. A bigger problem is that it doesn't really get scary or under your skin. It's a bit nasty and loud, and left me way more indifferent than a horror movie ought to.Warriors of the Future
Furure earth is polluted AND invaded by an alien plant, but high tech warriors attempt to use the plant to their advantage.

Cool action without a soul
Sure, there is some smart looking, pretty bad-ass exo-suit/robot/hi-tech warfare in here. But the movie is another truly awful Chinese attempt to copy dumb blockbuster vibes, boring characters, unclear action and yawn inducing cliche crap. Shit man, spend that money and CGI skills more wisely.Riddick
After being left for dead on a hostile planet, a ship full of mercenaries is Riddicks's only way off the planet

A B-movie in disguise
Non-stop pretty, but also painfully slow, tedious and full of uninspired really poor dialogue. They are too eager to portray Riddick as a mysterious, ubercool, enigmatic hero, instead turning him into an unsympathetic showoff.IO
Woman is trying to find cures for a dying world, but an uninvited stranger urges her to join him and catch the last rescue ship into space

Sympathetic but very boring
I really tried to get into the flow of this slow-burn movie, as a small, delicate an intimate story about big issues. But boring is boring, and the quasi-meaningful dialogue and cascade of pointless scenes made me yell COME ON too many times.Capsule
Astronaut depens heavily on radiohelp from earth to get his faulty capsule to return home

A lot more was required to make it this bold idea work
A bold mov(i)e which almost exclusively shows the astronaut strapped in his seat. But the amateuristic, jumpy astronaut, the repetitious dialogues and unconvincing procedures are way insufficient to make it work. There's a twist at the end, but if you made it that far you'll probably no longer care.Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance
Man - who is also a burning skeleton motor cyclist - must rescue boy who... ah whatever

Burning boredom
If looking at a burning skeleton hero obliterating devil scum is still boring and liveless... something must be wrong.Occupation Rainfall

Tiresome scifi bonanza
There's actually some okay stuff here and there: some effects, some scenes, some concepts, some designs. But it's just so bloated and hysteric, like they wanted to include everything they could think of and barf it onto you in an endless stream. Very tiresome.Jiu Jitsu
Man with memory loss appearantly is member of a team fighting a (very) Predator-like alien from another dimension

Nope. Still a B movie.
With steady reference to a comic book, some boldsy camera work and heaps of crazy martial arts this might have winded up being smirky and fun. But it is mostly tedious and bizarre, and the lead character appears to have been typecasted as a universal B movie karate dork.Ender's Game
A youngster is the chosen one to be trained as spacefleet admiral and repell alien threat

Kids in space
These kids are trained for space command by having them play a pointless Harry Potter floating game! This unwatchable movie is full of such nasty face palm moments, burying the sharp looking visuals deep beneath the surface. "He has a complicated response to authority" - who talks like that?Movies found: 1037 | max movies per page: 10 | Showing: 81 - 90
