Awix (3310 KP) rated Leave No Trace (2018) in Movies

Jul 12, 2018

Top-class drama from the people who brought you a bunch of other good films without getting famous for it. A troubled veteran lives with his daughter in a national park; he has a pathological need for privacy and independence; she loves her dad and so goes along with this, at least until the film starts.

Excellent performances, wonderfully clear and understated storytelling, and sense of humanity and generosity define what is by any measure an extremely fine film. It's about growing up and finding your own way in the world, but also about family and responsibility and lots of other things - yet it never feels heavy or preachy. Almost certain to prove one of the best of the year.

Was immediately hooked on this book! Think I have a new top MC Series to add to my list of favorites! I absolutely LOVE Raven, growing up the only daughter of an MC President, this girl is as tough as you can imagine. Bash, as bad a$$ as he may be, going from Club Enforcer to President, he is a complete softie when it comes to Raven. As much as these two have gone through and the mistakes and trials they have made along the way, I still have no doubt these two belong together and can't WAIT to hear more of their story! Diving right into the next book!!! One day read for me, I couldn't put it down!?

Comedy, story, nostalgia to original (0 more)

Not enough weird and wackiness (0 more)

As good as expected

After growing up on the original trilogy, I was looking forward to returning to the franchise. Coming out of the film I found it a fun filled adventure back into the world of the Men in Black.

However after rewatching the original trilogy I found that the film didn't have the same weirdness that the originals had. I remember watching the first and being terrified (even for being a PG film) where as this new iteration focused more or the comedy between Hemsworth and Thompson than the aliens that made the originals so interesting.

Overall it was a fun filled film that would be worth a watch.

Prequel film to Michael Bay's Transformers series of films based on 80s cartoons, and a strong contender for the best of the bunch!

With Michael Bay handing over directing duties to Travis Knight, it's actually possible to see what is happening on most of the action sequences now, with those sequences not as frenetic or as bombastic as before.

This is also smaller in scale, with only Bumblebee (that's the yellow Transformer) himself and a few Decepticons sharing the screen, although Optimus Prime does get a cameo and a few mentions!

I also got a very 80s, very Amblin-esque vibe from the whole thing, very much due to it's small self-contained setting and themes of family and growing up!
