I was pleasantly surprised at how good this movie became. Based on the trailer that was released with much fanfare and lackluster reception, I didn't have high expectations.

Jim Carrey is brilliant in his role as Dr. Robotnik. The other acting in the film is plenty good enough to ensure that Carrey didn't have to carry everything on his back. The story was actually surprisingly solid given the video game nature. Although Sonic did come equipped with quite a backstory to lend to film adaptation.

I saw this film in the theatre, and then I saw it again more than once after it was released digitally, with my children. Would recommend you definitely give it a go if you are on the fence,

Lavish mini-series is basically what you'd expect from Alex Garland: striking visuals, big themes, slightly bemusing plot. A computer engineer in a Silicon Valley tech firm discovers her boyfriend's apparent suicide was actually murder, connected to a secret project which threatens to change human perceptions of the universe forever.

The ideas of the series - about free will, determinism, the nature of the universe and of destiny - are undeniably fascinating and well-presented, and the acting is generally very good too. The rather glacial pace and borderline pretentiousness of some of it are more of a problem, but they should come as no surprise to anyone who's seen Annihilation or Ex Machina. Starts slow, but it will get its hooks into you as it goes on.
