Huge action scenes
Good links to the other films
Capt Jack has his swagger back
Don't believe the critics reviews! Can't believe this scored 32% on Rotten Tomatoes. The franchise is back on track after the below par previous installment. The Sfx are very good and the overall feel of the film is more like the first three films. It ties in nicely with elements to the first three films as well. Faded a bit towards the end, but this series isn't dead in the water.

Good SFX for the budget
A great Upgrade
I saw this the other night after seeing good reviews for it. I'm not sure if it got a cinema release in the UK? It's a great Australian made film. A bit like a sci-fi Deathwish mixing humans with advanced Ai technology and body enhancements. The technology shown in the film, set in the near future, is really good and not far from what is available. This made the film more interesting. Throw in some good action and SFX and you have a great film that went under the radar.

Cool set designs
Slightly different but still fun
After seeing some of the trailers I wasn't sure how this would pan out. The whole weaponising Dinosaurs from the first Jurassic World seemed like a thin plot line. At the end of the day it still boils down to escaping more Dinos on the run.
The Sfx are very good and there is plenty of tension as the characters get in various states of peril. Overall maybe not quite as good as the first one but if you are a fan of Jurassic Park, you'll happily sink your teeth into this!

The big fights
Not the Monster Mash I hoped for
Finally back in the Cinema last night to see this. I've not thought much of the last few Godzilla films compared to the old '98 one or even the old Godzilla vs films. This is better than the recent ones just by a small margin. The SFX are great, very detailed and the fights are very good. Just wish they lasted longer and were more of them. The plot stringing them together is rather silly though and by the end almost forgotten about.

Weak Sfx
We have all the time in the world
Finally got around to watching this one and was surprised it was better than I expected. It has all the main Bond ingredients, the Aston, crazy villain, awesome locations and plenty of action. Although Diana Rigg really stood out for me as a strong minded Bond girl. Some of Sfx scenes are very dated and some of fights are poorly edited. The overall villian plot might be a bit weak as well but as a whole this is a decent Bond film.
