This movie with Brad Pitt was rather disappointing. They tried to make it some deep, meaningful story but it just turned out, well, boring. Some interesting ideas about space travel/exploration but other than that there just wasn't much substance. Frankly, I'm not sure how I got through the whole thing. The cinematography was good, the acting was mediocre at best. Overall this one is NOT worth a watch.

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.

I hated every minute of the first two thirds of this book. It was all whining, petty arguments and sex with no real substance. In fact I almost didn't finish reading it and took a hiatus for a couple days before deciding to continue on. I am glad I did because the story does pick up and the sex (slightly) lessens. I even cried a little. Hopefully the third one has a better flow.

Very disappointing book. The premise interested me and I was enticed by the blurb of this book. However, I found myself reading pages and pages of Leonie mooning over Patrice which went on far too long. There lacked substance to the explanation behind Patrick's past and I felt the conclusion of the book was empty and hollow. Hate reading books which you keep reading hoping for some twist or redeeming moment which just never appears.

Sure, it’s hardly Hereditary, but it’s the kind of playfulness that’s sorely missing from the rest of Annabelle Comes Home. If a horror film isn’t intending to hold a mirror to society or to ourselves, and all it wants to do is make things go bump in the night, it needs to be fun enough for us to forgive the lack of substance.

For the last two and a half decades, the first-person shooter has been a mainstay in the video game world. Never shying away from a bit of controversy, they're typically games about killing hundreds of bad guys in sequence on a Rambo-like rampage through levels.

But shooters aren't all bloody rampages without meaning, style, or substance. In case you're not too well-versed in the genre, or just need some good recommendations, here are a selection:
