+ | * [[wp>Ad Astra]] (2019) - I didn't like this movie at all. The science was shoddy, the plot was boring (it could have been set anywhere - if it's going to be in space, at least involve some science/space plot points). There was nothing new in it. Brad Pitt's acting was decent, but the story was just some wishy-washy emotional effort. Lotta plot holes. What was the point of the detour to rescue the first ship? Why did he have to travel to Mars (and not just send a recording)? The orbital mechanics and basic space scenes were appallingly bad. | ||
+ | ==== November ==== | ||
+ | * [[wp>Ready or Not]] (2019) - This was okay. I was expecting it to be a bit more humorous, but it was decent for what it was. Samara was gorgeous. | ||

* [[wp>The Liong King]] (2019) - Meh. This really didn't need to be made. It wasn't anywhere near as good as the original. Not sure why the made it, other than a cash grab. Like a lot of the criticism I've read online - the faces weren't expressive enough - and the dialogue was pretty stilted - someone suggested they were speaking slower than normal to allow the animation to keep up (and not look strange) - which meant the timing was ruined for some of the interactions (or just left out altogether) - I agree. | * [[wp>The Liong King]] (2019) - Meh.

- | * [[wp>Terminator: Dark Fates]] (2019) - Saw this in the cinema (4DX) with Brian. I enjoyed it. Thoroughly good sequel and the acting from Linda Hamilton was excellent plus I like what they did with Arnie's character. I've decided I'm not going to go to a 4DX movie again (maybe once more for a horror) but it was just too distracting, almost felt like a rollercoaster (with someone kicking the back of your seat) at times. One nitpick (besides some general Terminator franchise time travel plot holes) - I'd liked to have seen a bit more technology - other than physically interacting with some computers - they spent most of the movie just throwing spears at each other. | + | * [[wp>Terminator: Dark Fate]] (2019) - Saw this in the cinema (4DX) with Brian.

* [[wp>Little Monsters]] (2019) - This was alright. Not much of a horror, nor a comedy. Lupita Nyong'o is certainly pretty, but there was no real sense of danger or urgency and the comedy felt weird. Plus, that Teddy McGiggle character was painful to watch. | * [[wp>Little Monsters]] (2019) - This was alright. Not much of a horror, nor a comedy.

* [[wp>Doom Annhiliation]] (2019) - This was a bad movie, but I enjoyed it. Hardly related to the Doom franchise. | * [[wp>Doom Annhiliation]] (2019) - This was a bad movie, but I enjoyed it. Hardly related to the Doom franchise. |
