Tomorrowland

This film should be re-titled: Dreams and Destines: A college thesis by George Clooney. The basic plot is that the world's smartest and bravest dreamers created a world called Tomorrowland  and mankind has to find it to survive the end of the world.


All this movie is is Brad Bird directing awesome visuals with George Clooney teaching us about dreams and goals.


Every other performance is overshadowed by this lecture.


Grade:

C-

Not worth seeing a clip of this film. Really hoped it would be a better movie.

Ex Machina

Ex Machina is a film that has a contained simple plot: A computer programmer wins a lottery contest to be able to test the first artificial intelligence. The test is whether or not this programmer can tell whether he is interacting with something artificial. Of course, this test leads to consequences.

This movie is one of the best of the year so far in my opinion. The movie doesn't have a lot of movement and action, but it certainly has strong plot points. When a movie doesn't have explosions and stunts, it needs an engaging idea to build its story around, This is one of the best plots of the year, and so I have no choice but to give it a:

B+

Mad Max: Fury Road

Mad Max is a film that shouldn't be spoiled at all. I am not going to talk much about the movie, but I will say this: Fury Road has some of the best action scenes of the year. I will definitely see it again.


Grade: A-

Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Plot: A group of superheroes must stop an AI from destroying mankind.

First off, I love Marvel movies. They are superior to DC's films because they are fun entertaining movies with awesome characters. That is why the first Avengers was awesome: it did what entertained the comic book fans...

Age of Ultron  is the exact same way, and that is why it is my favorite film of 2015 so far. The characters are interesting: every single one. There is not one single character that is thrown off to the side. They all are fantastic. Ultron was a cool new addition as well.

Many Reviews

I have seen so many films over the past couple weeks, so here are my short reviews for each.

Run All Night: Really surprised me. I wasn't expecting such a great movie. I'm sure this will change after Avengers, but right now this is my 3rd favorite film of the year behind American Sniper and Kingsman. Neeson's best since the first Taken,

Grade A-

Get Hard: Will Farrell and Kevin Hart: that is the humor that you are going to get.

Grade: B


Furious 7

Have not seen any of the other films in the series, but after this I want to. The airplane chase is awesome.

Grade: B+

Divergent and Insurgent: It is a toss up for me. I simply don't know which one is better. Insurgent definitely has more action than the first. Both good movies.

Series Grade: B

Chappie, Focus, and Cinderella

Movie Review: Chappie

This movie is about an artificial intelligence that is created to protect mankind, and the struggles he faces adapting to Earth's ways.

I have seen 2 Neil Blomkamp films. Elysium and Chappie. Chappie is my preferred film because it has more depth and a strong plot. Definitely worth seeing!!!


Grade: B


Focus:

A con man trains a woman how to con people to get she wants.


Very solid movie. Nothing really different or outstanding about this one. It was pretty generic, but it did its generic plot well.


My Grade:
B-


Cinderella

I have one major problem with this film. When your story is geared to one audience, you need to do something to engage to other audience. I have no problem with the actual story, there is just something missing.

Overall, I did not like this movie, and not because of the story, but because of the movie.

My Grade:

D
