Five young scientists invent a technology to teleport to some other world, but there are terrible consequences.

An adequate movie. Recommended if you’re already into this class of movie. Apparently this superhero retardation is now an entire class of movie. God dammit this is some lazy bullshit.

  • Stylized as Fant4stic

    • No, really.
    • I’m not sure if this is actually done in print with text or only with that image/logo.

A man stares into the sun as a child, and develops superhuman powers of math, pattern recognition with a side order of paranoia etc.

I don’t think this will appeal to most people, since it deal with topics only the fringe of humanity have any comprehension of. I happen to like it quite a bit, for reasons I certainly never hinted at in the previous sentence.

It’s the post-zombie apocalypse, and somehow in permanent-winter a nine year old is a whiny first world prissy little bitch.

There is no plot. Even if, and especially if, you like zombie movies.. avoid. I liked it at first, but it soon drove me mad with confusion and annoyance. I had to stop before the half way mark.

A ramshackle band of misfits find themselves aligned when they work towards parallel goals to save the land from the resurrection of the god of death.

Adequate. If you like orcs, one elf and one kickass dwarf, and if you can handle overacting, then this is recommended.

  • Properly titled Dragon Lore: Curse of the Shadow
  • Also known as SAGA: The Shadow Cabal
  • Also known as SAGA: Curse of the Shadow

  • Contains no dragons, dragon lore, lore .. and I don’t even remember if there was any sort of curse or shadows.

The story of Al Capone and his network of criminals being chased by the United States Department of the Treasury.

Overall it’s an entertaining, albeit predictable, film to me. I understand it was popular at the time, but I can’t imagine it’s held up well at all. It puts me off because it’s so very clean, yet has so much violence. There is a sort of strange “Disney violence” oil-and-water that makes no sense to me.

There is a blackout and shit goes sideways.

It’s not bad, but I can see why people would give this 5/10. It’s a fair movie. It’s not compelling in the least, with characters I never really felt attached to. Maybe following multiple people worsens it.. cutting between them is jarring for me.

James Bond, aka 007, runs and drives around, things happen, explosions and shootouts.

Meh, decent but not great unless you’re a fan of the Bond universe. Not much of a “spy movie”. Worth a one-time watch though, even though it’s predictable as all fucking hell.

Two youths struggle to survive in a world ruined by aliens.

A terrible movie, even and perhaps especially for science fiction, alien invasion or ruined world movie fans. It’s slow and plodding, with a crappy plot, and has no real “feel” to it.
