Fun British Horror
This was a nice surprise I stumbled across a while back. A very good British Horror film, probably the best since @Dog Soldiers (2002) From the same Sfx team as Descent and the Woman in black. A group of passengers on the last train home out of Waterloo, a different kind of Horror, break down in the middle of no where... Just when there is a full moon. Despite the low budget this is pretty good with a recognizable cast, even if the acting is a little cheesy at times. If you don't mind lower budget Horror then check it out!

Entertaining WW2 action Film
Well with Roland Emmerich at the helm you should know what to expect from this film. Lots of big budget action scenes and SFX heavy scenes. Going for all guns blazing, quite literally, at the slight expense of any indepth character development. It's good that this also covers the battle from the Japanese perspective. I'm not sure how accurate it is but it is at least based on real people who had key roles in the battle. One definitely to enjoy for the action scenes, especially if seeing in 4DX.

Jaws for the next generation
A great mix of action, horror and good special effects with some humour as well. Top popcorn viewing material. One of the best Shark films even now!

Will likely send you to sleep
An unnecessary reboot of a classic horror film. It doesn't offer much that wasn't in the original and pales in comparison.

Peculiar indeed
A decent film with a good cast, good Sfx and amazing locations. A strange story but if you like something a bit darker and peculiar than normal, you'll like this.

Interesting plot
The battle scenes
There's a war coming
Better than Rise of for me, I liked the plot development and there are a few twists along the way. The apes look very realistic as well. Look forward to seeing the next one.

A very good sequel with even more bots and action on a bigger scale. Great SFX again and plenty of funny moments as well. Maybe a slightly less WOW factor second time round after the impact of the first. Very enjoyable and worth seeing on the big screen.
