Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver

Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver; Snyder knows how to visually construct worlds & stage elaborate action sequences. The attempts to make main characters likeable and more than just cool assassins is less successful. Undeniable artistry happening across departments in service to a tired story; B+

Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire

Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire; World building & character introductions take center stage in an initial instalment that intrigues enough to maintain attention yet seems simultaneously hurried & dragged out, if that’s possible? Presents ideas but shortcuts to tropes; B-

The Mummy

The Mummy; Cruise & Crowe are no strangers to silly campy guilty pleasures. This one entertains most when Mummy not around. Not all bad; C+

Star Trek Beyond

Star Trek Beyond; Entertaining for a non Trekkie. Shows influences from recent films GotG, Gravity, Inception, all for the better & fun; B
