Cosmos (2019)
Really enjoyed it
What a real nice surprise this movie is, thought the story was great, the characters well fleshed out and human. Only thing is the comedy, I don't know whether the totally ott cliches were intentional, they were funny and hamed well and truly but in no way detracted if anything improved it with viral meme level clips by the dozen.
Ender's Game (2013)
Go see it, its superb
Never having read the book I wasn't hugely anticipating the release of this movie but my wife who read the book many years ago dragged me along. But from the opening scenes right to the climactic finale I was glued to the screen. Asa B and Harry F both give outstanding performances backed up by the totally brilliant supporting cast with a special mention to Sir Ben K big nose and everything. I loved the score, sfx and script all top drawer and a massive improvement on the directors (Gavin Hood) previous effort wolverine. I have read about the original authors controversial views and could not see anything that pollutes the film in anyway. Its also a good exercise for Harry F to get his space legs back in preparation for episode 7. In conclusion if you like a good sci fi spectacular go see this movie today, you will not be disappointed.
Altitude (2010)
This movie isn't so bad until the bit i hated
The premise for the whole thing is pretty weak explained in movie as last time the drive there was terrible so lets hire a plane and fly, but how did you get your license as your mum died in a similar plane and your dad wont let you fly, well I did it on the sly even tho I am young I earn enough cash to blow it on secret flying lessons as I love it so much. Thats great lets get a bunch of idiots together then and spend 60minutes in the air learning to hate each other. A weirdo boyfriend, hot chick pilot, bullying sports jock, screaming emo girl and the pointless guy.
The acting is pretty good and the main girl is nice to look at but I cant believe she would be with her boyfriend as he is a bit quiet and weird and she seems pretty out going.
Hated the sports jock more than most characters your supposed to hate in movies but 1 thing just went to far as everyone over the age of 10 learns to not do these things.
The direction/cinematography is OK as shooting an entire movie inside the cabin of a small twin engined prop plane obviously isn't the easiest way to make a movie. Special effects are fine based on the obviously limited budget.
If you got 90mins to spare this movie is watchable better than many films I have seen but worse than just as many others.
The Black Knight Returns (2009)
Good fun to make not so fun to watch
A film like this was obviously great fun to make but to watch it you gotta be something special. The main points of note are the special effects, I have seen better from total amateurs on youtube. And the time dilation effect generated in your brain, this movie should be played to criminals in jail that way a 10 year sentence would seem like 100 years and with no repeat offenders. The writing is OK the acting isn't so bad, so if the budget was a bit higher this movie could have been worth watching but mostly its not. So if you have a choice of 90mins extreme torture or watching this movie think very carefully how you want to spend the time as its a close call between the two choices.
