Movie Rating

Highly competent SF-horror movie from the modular school of movie scripting (i.e., it's basically Gravity Meets The Thing). Scientists on the ISS bring back microbes from Mars, grow their own alien in the lab - ensuing gribbly creature does not take well to captivity, makes a break for freedom, grisliness follows.

Goes to show that you don't always need originality to make an entertaining movie - yes, it's openly derivative of many other movies, but blends its sources together inventively. Production and actors are both very capable, too. Attempt at a twist ending is somewhat clumsy, but forgivable.

The trailer attracted me to see this a bit like the pretty blue lights in the film, despite the bad reviews. It was far from terrible, but I understand why most people didn't like it. I was hoping for something of a modern take on Independence day. In truth this only feels like one long drawn out segment of an alien invasion film. The SFX are pretty darn good, the cast was ok although hard to picture Donald Faison in anything but Scrubs. Then it ended abruptly in a rather strange way?! Let's hope the sequel feels more like a whole film.

I watched the first half of this season probably eight months ago, and picked it back up last night to finish it. I'm glad I finally did.
I liked the overall feel to this show, it was very discombobulating on purpose and it was very effective. Throughout the show, you don't know if there's going to be a rational explanation to everything, or if there's something alien about the whole thing.
I liked the ambiguous ending, but then I really wanted a resolution, because I'm not sure there will ever be a second season.

The obvious lack of talking in the film (0 more)

Ssshhhhh!

I wasn't sure about this film to start with but gave it a go.
The main story is basically about a family who have to be quiet or the alien type monsters that live within the grounds will attack.
The family use sign language to communicate and have mastered various methods for getting around the house and local area without making any noise.
It is a survival film and although it was strange watching a film with barely any talking in it i did actually enjoy it!

Super mario blows

Contains spoilers, click to show

Super Marios Bros- begins the trend of movies based off of video games. What a start. This film is not even close the game. Mario last name is mario, what? Mario is luigi's father but also his brother? What? Instead of peach, its daisy why? Bowser favorite food is pizza. Goombas look like shit. Toad is not toad. A great cast, wasted on this shit. All of the actors who were in the film, hate the film. Lots of injuries on the set. Super mario Bros. More like super shit bros. Also daisy's father is a alien???

Aardman carry on delivering fun funny filns

Aardman make movies that on one hand are just full of a British charm and on the other have a classic slapstick appeal. The new Shaun the Sheep sequel hasn't lost any of its appeal. The alien they introduce is cute and fun and funny. Adults and kids were all laughing out loud such is its accessibility of anyone of any age. I could take a five year old with autism or my grandad to watch this film and both would laugh.
