Avengers: Age of Ultron: It’s been a while since I’ve watched it, and since this log entry. I remember enjoying parts, but also felt like it was a bit empty – almost incomplete or just not amazingly well thought out. The special effects, like almost all major modern films, is pretty much flawless – to […]

Film: Dredd (2012)
Dredd: Oh dear. I had high hopes. I’m sure I had some friends who thought this film was good. It does have 7.0/10 on imdb as I write this, but I don’t understand why. It was violent – expected, as it’s Dredd. But I thought it was a little bit too far. A little bit […]
Film: Total Recall (2012)
Total Recall: I went into watching this film with the expectation that it was all action, and not really much story. I wasn’t really proven wrong, but the story was better than I had pictured in my mind. The premise behind the film just seemed silly. The action scenes were good. The main actor was […]
Film: Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)
Star Trek Into Darkness: So, the first sequel to the new Star Trek films by JJ Abrams. Kept me intrigued most of the time, though there were fairly slow bits that seemed slow for no purpose, as well as fairly predictable outcomes to some plot points. Possibly a bit of a spoiler – but it’s […]
Film: Serenity (2005)
Serenity: A film made after the TV series Firefly went kaput – a series that I have not yet seen, but heard good things about. Anyway, this film was a little confusing for me at times – probably because I haven’t seen the series, but still quite enjoyable. The characters were very easy to like […]
Film: Resident Evil – Extinction (2007)
Resident Evil – Extinction: The Resident Evil set of films really aren’t meant to be taken seriously, so this was just a bit of fun. Zombies, violence, evil corporations, the almost death of humanity. This one has a return of a couple of characters from the second film in the series – Oded Fehr, L.J., […]
Film: Pitch Black (2000)
Pitch Black: A kind of futuristic action/horror film. The film starts with a cargo space ship on auto pilot with the crew in stasis that hits some difficulties and wakes up the crew early. The ship crash lands on an alien planet which seems to have no night. Riddick is a criminal of some sort, […]
Film: Moon (2009)
Moon: What an odd find! Very good sci-fi, with a minimal number of actors – only one actually on screen at a time. Not sure what can be said about this film without giving it away. I think there were a few flaws in this film too. GERTY was a good HAL type equivalent. I […]
Film: District 9 (2009)
District 9: I did not realise that a large part of this film was done in a documentary style – a style of filming that I’m not really very much of a fan. However, this film, even though it started quite slow, did manage to keep me interested in what was going to happen next. […]
Film: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen: Everyone knows that this story is all about the action, not the story. However, the story wasn’t as bad as I imagined it might be. The action, like another Michael Bay film I saw recently, was fun, but, difficult to follow, with too much stuff happening at once, and I […]
