Ghost in the Shell

Ghost in the Shell was a beautiful concept and was executed brilliantly, as a friend to many Hollywood celebrities, I really enjoyed this sci-fi brilliance and the stunning visuals and combat stunts. This movie truly made me happy. Scarlett is a stunning person, actress and model and she plays this role spectacularly. In typical sci-fi fashion there are some objectifying shots of women which are fortunately balanced with equally brilliant staging, lighting and choreography.

A cure for Wellness

An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company's CEO from an idyllic but mysterious "wellness center" at a remote location in the Swiss Alps, but soon suspects that the spa's treatments are not what they seem

This film was a good tale about some very crazy treatments going on in a so called "wellness center" with an equally crazy doctor "treating" people. The spa really did look like an idyllic resort with a deeper darker secret hidden beneath and that's exactly what it turned out to be.

Life

Life was a thrilling tale of an ISS experiment gone totally wrong with a very "alien" vibe to the film, it really proved to be quite a strong story of the dangers and mystery of both space and LIFE as we know it. With a reasonable cast and some good moments from Ryan Reynolds the film was dramatic and pulling while also quite interesting to watch, Moments of spectacular VFX really helped LIFE shine.It was overall though quite a normal tale of sci-fi space disaster.

Kong: Skull Island



Kong Skull island is a beautiful work of modern VFX madness with beautiful super model cast and I'll tell you what, some spectacular technical shots and lighting to boot. The typical monster battle and awesome action sequences really make this another great King Kong story. With some notable actors and icons like Samuel L. Jackson stealing the show, the film really proves to be a stunning piece of cinematic beauty that will no doubt go down in history with it's predecessors.

Logan

In the near future, a weary Logan cares for an ailing Professor X in a hide out on the Mexican border. But Logan's attempts to hide from the world and his legacy are up-ended when a young mutant arrives, being pursued by dark forces.

Logan was a very good tale of Wolverine and Laura's struggle to work together and use their powers to combat the enemy chasing them down. With some interesting new mutants coming to save the day the story and action was great like many marvel movies before it.

Rings

Rings was the sequel to the Ring, I found it much harder to get into than the prequel and not near as thrilling to watch, perhaps it was a little more story driven than the last movie. Still a good watch if you were a fan of the first movie.Maybe better if you can watch the two together.

The Great Wall

The Great wall was a very fantastical tale of a nation with a truly rich history, although at times it felt like there was something deeper to the story it was very much a typical action adventure Hollywood film with a touch of Visual effects beauty.

T2 Trainspotting

Trainspotting 2 was a brilliant sequeleven surpassing the first in quality and probably budget too. The stellar cast and gritty backstreet london underground theme really pushes the boundaries on right and wrong and the true horrors of drugs, dealers and the rough crime life that so often surrounds it.
