Not The Bad
This Remake/Reboot of Planet of the Apes isnt that bad. The action is good, the acting is good, the sci-fi is good. Its that ending that made no sense. Im not sure why people didnt like this film, that its one of the worst remake's/reboots of all time. Its not their are others remakes/reboots that are worst than this.

The plot: Astronaut Leo Davidson whips through space and time to a world where apes and gorillas rule the humans. Captured, he is nurtured by Ari and hunted by General Thade as he leads a rebel group of humans and chimpanzees in search of his downed craft. This is his only hope of escape and, ironically, the planet's only hope of shaking off the tyranny of the gorillas, allowing peaceful humans and chimpanzees to co-exist.

I think its a good film.

During the mid to late 90s, there was a series of graphic novels company, all centring around the pilots of Rogue and (later) Wraith Squadron, and 'spun-off' from the immensely popular X-Wing and TIE fighter games by the now-defunct Lucasarts company.

That's all gone by the wayside (and recatogorised as Legends) ever since Disney bought out Lucasfilm.

I picked this one up when it was on sale for part of 2020s Comixology 'May the Fourth' (be with you) sale, having previously read the novel it leads into (that novel being Alphabet Squadron). As such, this story follows a group of Imperial pilots - rather than the more common point of view of Rebel pilots - flying various missions for the Empire, leading up to the battle of Endor and receiving word of their defeat.

Yes, the art is really rather good.
Yes, the story is really rather bland.

Third instalment in the 'Night at the Museum' series, which ends on a poignant note with Robin Williams last (ever) on-screen film appearance - obviously not known at the time they would be such - when his Teddy Roosevelt says "Smile, my boy. It's Sunrise".

Anyway, this film sees most of the cast/museum exhibits travelling across to the British Museum, when the ancient Egyptian tablet that causes said exhibits to come to life mysteriously starts decaying, resulting in a race against time to first find out why and then to reverse the process.

I could maybe do without the Rebel Wilson character in the film - like Ricky Gervais character, I just find her annoying (and that's a reflection the characters, rather than the actors), whilst some of the jokes were a bit too slapstick for my taste.

Did enjoy the Hugh Jackman cameo, though!
