Nothing original
Enjoyable funny Sci-Fi
Yet another Ryan Reynolds Netflix film, they do seem to be churning them out pretty quick lately. This time a time travel Sci-Fi film with some good action and more laughs. Accidentally travelling back to today from 2050 he meets up with himself as a young boy.
Seems to have ideas from quite a few time travel films but the main fun is the humour to be had between the Young and older Adam. It has a decent budget, although the Cgi for a young version of the villian looks more computer game level.
Overall it's a fun film with some touching moments with a fairly straight forward plot. Ryan Reynolds again raising quite a few laughs to put a smile on your face.

Needs a MOT
It's not as good as the first. The story is very simple, despite what seems a reasonable budget some of the effects and Cgi seem below standard. Although the fights are good the editing feels very choppy, so hard to see what is actually going on. Needs to go back to the garage for more work.

I'm really confused as to why this movie was even made. The CGI was bad, the accents were all over the place, and the costumes looked like they were from a middle school play. Every time Jesus was on screen, all I could think about was Xerxes from 300. The 2 is only because Jack Huston and Toby Kebbell are nice to look at.

Good casting (1 more)
Good music
Unfortunately I read the book before watching, so it does colour my perception. On its own the movie is good, a little ‘fluffy’ in places and a little contrived in others. The dynamics I found fascinating in the book are missing in the movie. That said, the casting is good, cgi is amazing and the music perfect,

This film is both intelligent and action packed with undertones that mirror Apartheid.
The concepts here are well played out and the CGI is non obtrusive and blend in very well, the Ghetto areas are realised well and some scenes are like a documentary, but when the action begins it really is a rollercoaster and when the end comes it's very fitting, an absorbing watch.

Nov 1, 2021 (Updated Nov 3, 2021)
After almost 40 years since its original release (damn now I do feel old!), this is still one of the best horror films of its time, maybe it’s not on par for the younger audiences that have gotten oversaturated with the CGI and gore, but The Shining is psychological masterpiece that has to bee seen on a big screen for the full effect.

Contains spoilers, click to show
I have to admit, this is one of my favorite films from this year, so far. It has you hooked right from the beginning. The different types of camera angles used gives it a more sort of fantasy feel. I loved the fact that they had different characters as well and their deaths were unsuspecting.
I was a little confused by the timeline, as I felt it should have been Victorian era rather than an "up-to-date" feel.
The only let down was that I felt that there had been too much CGI used, which was a disappointment, however, saying that, leaving it where it did, I hope that there will be a sequel.
Overall, a fantastic film and would definitely recommend watching.

Interesting take on the origins of the Ape world
A really interesting take in the origins of the Ape revolution. I enjoyed this a lot. Andy Setkis as Ceaser deserves all the exclaim he got, and Franco gives a good performance
my one gripe is that it felt a tad long and for me would have worked better around 90mins.

Emotional end to the Trilogy
A magnificent film, a thinking mans action film.
Harrelson and Serkis performances are amazing, it continues to be a shame that Serkis doesn't get any Oscar nods for his work here.
The plot moves along at what feels like a breezy pace, a step up from the previous films which felt a little plodding.
