Average disaster film

Pretty run of the mill disaster action film. Some of the Cgi isn't great. Plenty of better films of this type out there.

A good if predictable romantic comedy. The tennis sections are actually quite short, but well shot on location and using cgi. Not a great deal of jokes, but easy to watch and enjoy.

Rogue One is a solid entry into the Star Wars canon. I loved all of the new characters, and the nods to the originals. Grand Moff Tarkin is one of my favorite characters, and I'm glad they included him; there couldn't have been a movie about the Death Star without him. While I didn't mind the CGI on Tarkin, the CGI Leia was completely unnecessary.
Also, the end with Vader owning everyone was one of the best parts of the movie.

Not my favorite Marvel movie, or even favorite Iron Man movie, but definitely a solid flick. The CGI is good, the action is good, the plot is decent, and the character development is on point.

The post apocalyptic word is actually interesting, actors' performances (especially great Hugo Weaving) are convincing enough and the CGI is better than expected (0 more)

Decent movie that starts with a strong concept, but then it becomes a big dump of CGI and madness. Hard to keep track of any of the pseudo science stuff but overall not a bad film.
