Elysium (2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : A big space wheel he desperately wants to go
When I was young and innocent, I read lots of science books with unadulterated enthusiasm, and some of them were about how our human civilization would look different through advanced technologies. The futuristic world shown through those books looked pretty … Continue reading
Snowpiercer (2013) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : A dark journey on the New Ice Age Express
I know it is a cliché, but I must say this; “Snowpiercer” is something we do not come across often in the movie theaters nowadays. This is a smart, compelling science fiction film which can intrigue us with its futuristic … Continue reading
The Wolverine (2013) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Wolverine Lost in Translation
“The Wolverine” is the sixth film of the X-men series, which has moved around a lot since its first successful three films. It went back to the origin of one of its popular characters in “X-Men Origins: Wolverine”(2009), and then … Continue reading
Pacific Rim (2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Jaegers Vs. Kaijus
“Pacific Rim” is big, loud, and, above all, exciting and interesting. There are lots of crashes and bangs as those huge CGI creatures clashing with each other on the big screen, but this is not one of those bland, bloated … Continue reading
The Lone Ranger (2013) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Meet an overblown oddball western
“The Lone Ranger” has several moments of unadulterated fun although it is messy and uneven on the whole. It is not as bad as some reviewers said, and it is certainly nice to hear William Tell Overture being pumped up … Continue reading
World War Z (2013) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : An epic global zombie spectacle
“World War Z” puts all the zombies it can get on the big screen. There are several big sequences featuring lots of those mindless zombies going after the living for spreading their disease all over the world, and some of … Continue reading
Man of Steel (2013) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : He can fly – no surprise
“Man of Steel” wants to look different from its famous senior which opened the door for all the subsequent superhero films, and I understand its intention. When several production logos were ominously introduced one by one at the start of … Continue reading
Star Trek Into Darkness(2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Vigorous calisthenics within its playground
“Star Trek Into Darkness” does its calisthenics vigorously within its playground. After the decent start with “Star Trek”(2009), J.J. Abrams goes all the way again with crashes and bangs, and it is certainly thrilling to watch, but it remains within … Continue reading
Fast & Furious 6 (2013) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4) : Outrageous & Preposterous as usual
At the certain point during one of the action sequences in “Fast & Furious 6”, the audiences around me burst into a big laugh because they could not simply believe what happened on the screen. When one character was hurled … Continue reading
Iron Man 3 (2013) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Iron Man recharged
Unexpectedly, “Iron Man 3” recharges itself with the sense of fun and excitement while being a little more serious than before. We saw Bruce Wayne and James Bond falling and then rising again in last year, and now it is … Continue reading
