Not quite as expected
All style but lacking substance
After seeing a trailer for this I was interested to see it. Looking very stylish with the 60's flash backs to the Soho night life. Along with a mystery to be solved about past events.
The style is great the soundtrack is cool along with 60's fashion that features prominently. The look is good as well with the lighting and and editing.
Unfortunately it was a bit slow going for the first third of the film. Some of the young supporting cast weren't great in their roles. Some of the plot developments were on the predictable side. The direction of the film meant it wasn't quite the type of thriller I was hoping for. Anna Taylor-Joy and Thomasin McKenzie are the real highlights of the film though. Could have been better but worth checking out.

Chilling
It’s atmosphere that the author created was amazing and really drawled you in! The characters and animals had real personality and made you really connect with the book! I think that this was one of the most beautiful books I have read in a long time. Made me very ‘Toasty’

Different style of gameplay (2 more)
Has a lot of heart
Lovely visuals
Brutal yet beautiful
This game blew my mind when I played through. You control a number of survivors of a war torn country, trying to survive by scavenging and bartering. The game offers a very bleak out look in the worst of times. For those looking for something different with an emotional edge I highly recommend this.

I really enjoyed this - a little unrealistic but would love to see this happen in real life if only to show that 'old' people are not useless or boring and have dreams and aspirations as much as anyone else. I actually know a few people who would love to be in the characters shoes!
I liked the writing style and pace of the book and was very impressed on how well it was translated.

Fight choreography
Great Actors
All style and no substance
Another film that is struck down by the video game to big screen curse. Despite the budget, great cast and good special effects I just found the story uninteresting. I've not played the games, so can't comment how true to them it is. Shame as it had great potential. A nice looking film but without any depth to it.

This book, only second from Roy's stable in the last twenty years, retains the metaphorical music that she used to fair rapture in her first book. The descriptions, spring to live with her subtle touch

Unique Sci-fi film
A little slow to start but once the action kicks in this is a great Sci-Fi/Action film! Filmed in a kind of documentary style for the first half, it has some great action scenes and special effects as the story takes a direction you might not have expected. This is a one of a kind film, really different to most films these days. Definitely not one to be missed!

The writing style is lively and I couldn't stop reading. I was 90% finished with the book and I had to wait a couple of days to finish the last 10% because I got caught up with emotions and I just didn't want this story to end

A contemplative zombie movie
It's been a long time since a 28 Days Later style zombie movie was out. It's more thought-provoking than an all out gorefest. The movie is watchable, although not my favourite genre. However, the acting was a little clunky. Only the slightly more polished actors Glenn Close and Paddy Considine really made a difference. Gemma Arterton is a pretty bad actress, she seemed robotic the entire time.
