Another awful Uwe Boll Film
This is really bad, nothing like the games at all. Has some well known faces and the opening 10mins are pretty good with some cool SFX. After that though it becomes an Aliens rip off that is no where near as good!

Good Sfx for the time, especially for the spaceship (3 more)
Funny
Good sound track
Feel good fun for the whole family
A blast from the past
One of my childhood faves. Funny scenes and one liners as well as a cool songs. The liquid metal spaceship effects were ahead of their time.

I would call this movie a Matt Damon vacation movie, one that pays the Bill's between blockbusters and is Entertaining yet non taxing
Scenes and SFX look beautiful and is a visual feast, the sound design is well thought through, just a very predictable story, an easy watch but not essential!

A cool MTV style movie about biker gangs. A bit like Fast and Furious but on 2 wheels instead. It has a cool, young cast, thumping soundtrack and some good chase scenes. Slightly over do the SFX in some scenes getting way beyond reality but overall an enjoyable action film.

As expected
Hard to think been 5 years since the last one. No different to what you expect really, lots of jump scares and not a great deal of plot. Find out abit more about the Nun. Overall similar to the first film.

Good Sfx
The Cgi for the Shark was great
A decent Shark thriller
A good film with a battle of wits and survival. The Beach location is beautiful, shot at Lord Howe Island off the coast of Australia, and the Sfx were good in most scenes. I was impressed with the Cgi for the Shark, it looked more realistic than many other Shark films over the past 20 years. It is one big mean Shark, although some of the action scenes are a bit over the top. Overall a good film for a simple premise. On the DVD you get extras on Shark attacks, the location for the Beach scenes, and how they designed the Shark.

This was a good entertaining film, with some great actors, cool SFX and a decent story. However personally I feel the comparisons of Bourne Identity crossed with Inception is very misleading. If anything this is a romantic film with a bit of Sci-Fi and witty dialogue thrown in. The SFX towards the end is a tiny bit similar to Inception and other than Matt Damon starring and being on the run that's all it has in common with the Bourne Identity. If anything it reminded more of Serendipity, a film about fate, chance and destiny when it comes to love. Still a very good film to watch but it's not all out action or a thriller.

Some dodgy CGI
A large helping of cheese
Well I finally gave this a whirl not expecting much. It seems like a CGI led disaster film in The day after tomorrow mould. To combat climate change the world has come together to build a network of satellites to control the weather. It predictably starts to go wrong, cue scenes of mass distruction around the globe and needs to be fixed.
The cast was quite impressive and the SFX overall were good. It suffers badly from the weak plot and characters though. Ok for a watch but not a patch on The day after tomorrow, Deep impact and many others.

Generally funny throughout
Pretty good Sfx
We've got fun and games
A good, funny action film where the cast chemistry makes the film enjoyable. In the first film the jungle elements start to break through to the real world. This time a group of kids in detention get sucked in to a video game version of Jumanj. It's not the only Breakfast club undertone to the film either.
The Sfx and action scenes are pretty good. It is very funny though with group dynamics, body swap, role reversal going on. Largely thanks to Jack Black and Kevin Hart. Overall a fun light hearted action comedy with a big budget production that's very entertaining.
