Transformers: The Last Knight (2017) ☆1/2(1.5/4): Another unbearable epic mess
It is an understatement to say that “Transformers: The Last Knight” is a cinematic equivalent of blunt instrument. This is another unbearable epic mess as brainlessly loud and bombastic as three previous sequels following “Transformers” (2007), and it will relentlessly … Continue reading
Alien: Covenant (2017) ☆☆1/2(2.5/4): Same old monster horror
“Alien: Covenant” gives us exactly what we can expect from another entry from the franchise which has lasted for more than 35 years since “Alien” (1979) burst upon us. Again, a group of characters in a big spaceship go to … Continue reading
Ex Machina (2015) ☆☆☆1/2(3.5/4) : A Turing Test gone haywire
How will we react to artificial intelligence if that becomes possible through technological advance? There have been many science fiction tales fascinated with that question which is alternatively intriguing and disturbing for good reasons, and “Ex Machina” gives us something … Continue reading
Big Hero 6 (2014) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Isn’t it huggable?
While it lacks novelty because of those ubiquitous superhero blockbuster films during recent years, Disney animation feature film “Big Hero 6” has enough style and substance to distinguish itself from other superhero films. While it is basically a familiar … Continue reading
Transformers: Age of Extinction (2014) ☆1/2(1.5/4) : The Unbearable Loudness of Being
“Transformer: Age of Extinction” should be re-titled as “Transformers: The Unbearable Loudness of Being”. The movie relentlessly pummels us with tons of big explosions and loud noises on the screen during its burdensome 165-minute, and you may be at a … Continue reading
RoboCop (2014) ☆☆☆(3/4): A nice remake with different appearance
As the remake of the 1987 film directed by Paul Verhoeven, “RoboCop” has its own interesting areas to explore, and I like that aspect despite some reservation on it. There are several moments in the film which inevitably take us … 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
Prometheus (2012) ☆☆☆(3/4) : Somebody can hear you scream this time
There are several moments in Ridley Scott’s new film “Prometheus” which arrested my gaze completely at last night. While watching them, I was reminded of the sense of awe and mystery I have experienced in other great SF films like … Continue reading
Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2011) ☆1/2(1.5/4) : Again, it’s messy, noisy, and ugly
One and only good thing about “Transformers: Dark of the Moon” is that it does not break any ground or bottom – and that is all you have to know to decide whether you will watch it or not. While … Continue reading
