‘Ad Astra’ Movie Review

Ad Astra

Ad Astra = to the stars; and that they did! I love sci-fi movies although this one is not defined as so. Picturesque yes, yet a big bore. The premise is for an astronaut to find out if his dad survived a space mission. I saw it in the IMAX format.

‘Replicas’ Movie Review

replicas

This is a wild, cheesy and laugh out loud at times sci-fi flick. A tragedy causes a scientist to experiment on his own family and so the journey begins.

‘Bumblebee’ Movie Review

Well, this franchise re-boot of sorts, starts in the 80’s with Bumble Bee being sent to Earth before the other Auto Bots arrive. Honestly, no other family but the Witwicky’s have been so endearing. This new family has potential yet it wasn’t the best introduction. The film is a bet cheesy but acceptable enough, especially if you’re a #Transformers fan. I viewed it in Super E-Max and it was great! The early screening did not show any end credit scenes.

‘Going In Style’ Movie Review

The headlining ensemble cast are familiar faces and have good chemistry in this light-hearted comedy adventure of sorts. The storyline is somewhat predictable yet it’s worth checking out.

‘Kong Skull Island’ Movie Review

Aren’t most King Kong movies cheesy? Well, so is this one but it’s full of action, scary scenes and laughs. I really enjoyed this re-boot of a classic monster. There’s a great end-of-credits scene!!! So, don’t leave until the screen is totally black. I saw it in IMAX-3D and it was great!

‘A Dog’s Purpose’ Movie Review

I’ve heard both sides regarding the negative hype about this film then I decided to see this movie. Overall, this is a feel-good family movie and if you’re a pet lover (especially dogs), then you will LOVE this movie.

‘The Finest Hours’ Movie Review

This movie is based on a true story that actually happened in Cape Cod in 1952. It’s really hard to imagine being in such a storm at sea and actually surviving. The movie is slow yet there are a few visually stunning scenes to watch (I saw it in 3D; no IMAX at the theatre I went to due to ‘Star Wars’ still making a lot of money). I thought the acting by particularly, Chris Pine and overall the entire cast could have been better yet overall the movie was okay.

‘Steve Jobs’ Movie Review

This is a hard quick read movie review after doing some research on Mr. Jobs. I will say this film is well acted. Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet give great performances (maybe Oscar worthy). Not knowing much about Steve Jobs personal life was an interesting pull to the storyline. There’s lots of computer jargon that could go over your head. The storyline revolves around three of Jobs’ well known product launch unveilings. Unfortunately, the movie isn’t dated to more recent product developments (iphone, ipad etc…). I did find this man’s life to be interesting and worth learning more about. This film is depicted from a book by Walter Issacson (Jobs’ person biographer) yet Jobs’ wife/family do not give a seal of approval of this film and actually contacted a couple of actors and asked them to not accept the role. Since this is the 2nd film about Jobs’ in the last couple of years I’m sure that one day his family will finally approve a depiction/storyline that they want on the big screen.
