intriguing & holds your attention (2 more)
incredibly interesting, especially (as the documentary points out) as there had been no experiment of its kind since a failed NASA attempt in 1984
eye opening and thought provoking, challenging the current system and design of our aeroplanes
* although i genuinely believe this is due to the lack of scientific experimentation of this kind that has been done (unsurprising given the fact that these experiments cost millions and a slight mistake can ruin the entire trial, rendering it useless)

A Return To Form
This movie is a lot better than the trailers show it to be, MacAvoyâs performance is gripping, electric and believably diverse. This is Shamylanâs return to form and is up there in terms of quality with Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense. The script isnât amazing, but the actors do well with the material that they have and the production is on point. Good sound mixing, cinematography and direction. Gets a bit silly in places but is justified by the filmâs end.

Berg and Wahlberg up the ante
Wahlberg teams up again with Peter Berg following their other recent collaboration, Deepwater Horizon and they both up their game with this movie. Wahlberg's performance is fantastic in this as a Boston cop dealing with a chaotic situation. The direction is also great and the sound design is well implemented. The film is upsetting at times, as it cover such a tragic event, but it is also uplifting and is something that the people of Boston should be proud of.

The freeform structure and wide variety of roles is impressively liberating. (2 more)
Nuanced but accessible combat controls.
Fun multiplayer options. Decent port from the PC.
very steep learning curve. (1 more)
Earning money at the beginning can get extremely repetitive, as can the mission design, lifeless planets, and identikit space stations.
The pioneering space adventure makes an impressive landing on PlayStation 4, with more content than ever and the promise of even better things to come.

Mad Max in Space
A very decent Sci/Fi, thriller effort.....first time I can say that in a long time! A very good atmospheric film with plenty of action. Starts well the middle is patchy, but it picks up again towards the end. Good effects and set design, the overall feel of the film and the spaceship is quite creepy, good use of lighting etc. It's not the most original, it feels like a compilation of ideas from the best known Sci/Fi films. Overall a good effort that most should enjoy.

Gameplay is unique
Unique
Photosynthesis is unlike any other boardgame. Usually when I explain games to new players, I can say 'this is like mafia' or 'this is like Dominion.' But Photosynthesis is unlike any other game that we have played.
I will warn you: it is cutthroat. The more people you have, the more that you need to compete with other players for sunlight.
The game's charm can wear off after a while. But if you can get it on sale, it is worth playing 15ish times.

Excellent game
This game is incredibly fun. The basic concept is something like a cross between the movie Frequency and Stranger Things with a fun synth score. A group of teens end up on a haunted island in a series of time loops and have to use radios to communicate with the ghosts and break free. It's an easy way to lose a few hours, and then play all over again with a few surprises. This is among my top IOS games for sure.

Feb 13, 2019 (Updated Feb 13, 2019)
THIS MOVIE IS SO PURE. Hearts Beat Loudâs tagline is âThe Feel Good Movie We Need Right Nowâ and I donât know if I can describe it any better. It has great acting, great music, a great story about relationships and love and real-life problems, great design and editing, great everything. I could try and go into details but it just feels like I can say âevery bit of it feels goodâ and tell you the music will be stuck in your head for months and call it a day.

The design of the school
Great Survival Horror
This was a very good survival horror game back in the day. It had the feel of a teen, slasher film and reminded me of The Faculty quite a bit. Apart from the Resident Evil games and The Suffering there weren't many Survival Horror games about for the Xbox. The gameplay was very atmospheric, you often needed a torch to search around the school at night. It had a co-op mode for a second player. A great game for the time.
