Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: Directed by Sam Raimi. With Benedict Cumberbatch, Elizabeth Olsen, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Benedict Wong. Dr. Stephen Strange casts a forbidden spell that opens the doorway to the multiverse, including alternate versions of himself, whose threat to humanity is too great for the combined forces of Strange, Wong, and Wanda Maximoff. Sam Raimi is gonna do what Sam Raimi is gonna do, and while this is decidedly a Marvel movie with all the Marvel baggage that good Marvel movies come with, this is still a delightfully Sam Raimi movie, with everything you’d expect from him....
Perfect Sense: Directed by David Mackenzie. With Eva Green, Lauren Tempany, Ewan McGregor, Connie Nielsen. A chef and a scientist fall in love as an epidemic begins to rob people of their sensory perceptions. Not a movie I want to see while the world is winding down from a global pandemic that removed many victim’s sense of smell, but the film has s a artistic poetry to the extinction of humanity that’s beautiful in it’s own way. Buy On Amazon!
Liar Liar: Directed by Tom Shadyac. With Jim Carrey, Maura Tierney, Justin Cooper, Cary Elwes. A fast-track lawyer can’t lie for 24 hours due to his son’s birthday wish after he disappoints his son for the last time. It was on my list of movies that I own but hadn’t watched, which I guess is because I had watched it last before I was logging movies. I was happy to go back to watch it again though, as Carrey really did well with the entire premise, even introducing the novel character of “The Claw” something that the insufferable Jerry tries...
Pokémon Detective Pikachu: Directed by Rob Letterman. With Ryan Reynolds, Justice Smith, Kathryn Newton, Bill Nighy. In a world where people collect Pokémon to do battle, a boy comes across an intelligent talking Pikachu who seeks to be a detective. This is becoming one of my go to movies for an emotional pick me up, the entire thing works the way that I want a video game movie to work. Nostalgic, but not stupidly so, which is surprising to me since i’ve never once played a pokemon game. Buy On Amazon!
Jumanji: Directed by Joe Johnston. With Robin Williams, Jonathan Hyde, Kirsten Dunst, Bradley Pierce. When two kids find and play a magical board game, they release a man trapped in it for decades – and a host of dangers that can only be stopped by finishing the game. I had forgotten that Kirsten Dunst was in this film. I had also forgotten how young she was at the time. This is another Robin Williams film on our journey of Robin Williams films. It’s among his better films. More at 11. Buy On Amazon!
The Best of Times: Directed by Roger Spottiswoode. With Robin Williams, Kurt Russell, Pamela Reed, Holly Palance. A small-town loser determines to have one more shot at the big time by winning a football game. Released in 1986, this was well before I was tracking Robin WIlliams, as I was only six at the time, so not really too much to explain there, especially since this is a mostly forgettable film with plenty of people that were famous previously or become much more famous after The Best of Times. It’s a perfectly cromulent film and I don’t have any major...
Sonic the Hedgehog 2: Directed by Jeff Fowler. With James Marsden, Jim Carrey, Ben Schwartz, Tika Sumpter. When the manic Dr Robotnik returns to Earth with a new ally, Knuckles the Echidna, Sonic and his new friend Tails is all that stands in their way. I never thought that we’d get one good Sonic movie, much less TWO good Sonic films, especially after the disaster that was the original trailer for the first film. Somewhere along the line though, they figured it out, refined nostalgia for a wildly popular video game franchise, and delivered a fuzzy experience that I enjoyed...
The Last Shift: Directed by Andrew Cohn. With Richard Jenkins, Shane Paul McGhie, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Ed O’Neill. Stanley’s last shift at his fast food job takes an unexpected turn when he befriends a young African-American work employee. I was hoping for more than what we got, but I’ll have to admit the final product is well done. I had built this movie into something it wasn’t in my head, as it’s been on my watch list since I ran into a trailer back in early 2021, and finally found it on a random streaming site. I had the impression...
Uncharted: Directed by Ruben Fleischer. With Tom Holland, Mark Wahlberg, Antonio Banderas, Sophia Ali. Street-smart Nathan Drake is recruited by seasoned treasure hunter Victor “Sully” Sullivan to recover a fortune amassed by Ferdinand Magellan, and lost 500 years ago by the House of Moncada. I did not expect to like this as well as I did, there was a struggle at the start for me to separate Tom Holland from his Spider-man role, as in those movie he’s playing a highschooler, and here he’s a 20 something orphan on an epic adventure of tending bar and pick pocketing until he’s...
Warlords of the Deep: Directed by Kevin Connor. With Doug McClure, Peter Gilmore, Shane Rimmer, Lea Brodie. Searching for the lost world of Atlantis, Prof. Aitken, his son Charles and Greg Collinson are betrayed by the crew of their expedition’s ship, attracted by the fabulous treasures of Atlantis. The diving bell destroyed, a deep sea monster attacks the boat. They are all dragged to the bottom of the sea where they meet the inhabitants of the lost continent, an advance alien race makes slaves of the ship-wrecked sailors. The aliens want to rule the human world to create a nazi...
The Batman: Directed by Matt Reeves. With Robert Pattinson, Zoë Kravitz, Jeffrey Wright, Colin Farrell. When the Riddler, a sadistic serial killer, begins murdering key political figures in Gotham, Batman is forced to investigate the city’s hidden corruption and question his family’s involvement. This is definitely a move that features a man dressed as a “bat”, and there’s definitely some real good money thrown at it, but did they have to make the whole thing as boring as it ended up being? Everyone here is doing what they’ve been paid to do, but the story and story beats are all...
Chris Claremont’s X-Men: Directed by Patrick Meaney. With Jason Aaron, Lon Brown, Chris Claremont, Hallie Cooper-Novack. Chris Claremont came to Marvel as a young man, and was assigned a book that no one else wanted, a book on the brink of cancellation: X-Men. Over the next 17 years, his work on the title turned it into the biggest franchise in comic book history. Forty years later, his work has been adapted into 10 films, three TV series, countless video games and become a part of our cultural mythology. it’s always nice to look back at the creative minds of series...
Spider-Man: No Way Home: Directed by Jon Watts. With Tom Holland, Zendaya, Benedict Cumberbatch, Jacob Batalon. With Spider-Man’s identity now revealed, Peter asks Doctor Strange for help. When a spell goes wrong, dangerous foes from other worlds start to appear, forcing Peter to discover what it truly means to be Spider-Man. I now own this on a plastic disk. It’s pretty nice. Buy On Amazon!
The Congress: Directed by Ari Folman. With Robin Wright, Harvey Keitel, Sami Gayle, Jon Hamm. An aging, out-of-work actress accepts one last job, though the consequences of her decision affect her in ways she didn’t consider. Release in 2013 well before her resurgance in amazing roles like House of Cards, Blade Runner 2042, or Wonder Woman, this movie has Robin Wright playing a nearly has been actress that’s in need of income an out of options, so signs over her digital likeness to Miramax. I’ve seen this before in a couple other things, the first that comes to mind is...
Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings: Directed by Destin Daniel Cretton. With Simu Liu, Tony Chiu-Wai Leung, Awkwafina, Ben Kingsley. Shang-Chi, the master of weaponry-based Kung Fu, is forced to confront his past after being drawn into the Ten Rings organization. Watching this with my wife, I enjoyed it much more than the last 3 times I watched it. That being said, it’s impossible to watch while doing anything because of all the ridiculous subtitles, and the soundtrack is the strongest part of the film. Also, it’s cool to see the new Sorcerer Supreme in action, even if...
Kick-Ass 2: Directed by Jeff Wadlow. With Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Morris Chestnut, Claudia Lee. Following Kick-Ass’ heroics, other citizens are inspired to become masked crusaders. But Red Mist leads his own group of evil supervillains to get revenge, kill Kick-Ass and destroy everything he stands for. Not as ground breaking as the first one, but still just as entertaining. Doesn’t help that this turned into the Hit-Girl movie super dooper quick. Buy On Amazon!
Kick-Ass: Directed by Matthew Vaughn. With Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Garrett M. Brown, Evan Peters, Deborah Twiss. Dave Lizewski is an unnoticed high school student and comic book fan who one day decides to become a superhero, even though he has no powers, training or meaningful reason to do so. Featuring several references to “myspace” and a movie named “The Spirit 3”, this is a completely out of time movies that has no real references to the real world, including computer stuff like “I rerouted your IP address”, which is a complete non-sense phrase when it comes to hacking a PC, but...
The Gateway: Directed by Michele Civetta. With Shea Whigham, Olivia Munn, Zach Avery, Bruce Dern. A social worker assigned to the care of the daughter of a single mother intervenes when the dad returns from prison and lures them into a life of crime. It’s a good enough movie, but boy howdy did I not need to see how grim dark the world could be if viewed through a washed up social worker. Buy On Amazon!
Deadpool 2: Directed by David Leitch. With Ryan Reynolds, Josh Brolin, Morena Baccarin, Julian Dennison. Foul-mouthed mutant mercenary Wade Wilson (a.k.a. Deadpool) assembles a team of fellow mutant rogues to protect a young boy with supernatural abilities from the brutal, time-traveling cyborg Cable. Hilarious and what I needed tonight. Buy On Amazon!
Bumblebee: Directed by Travis Knight. With Hailee Steinfeld, Jorge Lendeborg Jr., John Cena, Jason Drucker. On the run in the year 1987, Bumblebee finds refuge in a junkyard in a small California beach town. On the cusp of turning 18 and trying to find her place in the world, Charlie Watson discovers Bumblebee, battle-scarred and broken. Definitely the best of the 5 Transformers films, it’s difficult for me to even say what part of it works best. Is it the amazing cgi? is it the new transformation and robot designs? Is it Hailee Steinfeld? The nods back to the original...
Disaster on the Coastliner: Directed by Richard C. Sarafian. With Lloyd Bridges, Raymond Burr, Robert Fuller, Pat Hingle. A vengeful employee of a computer-controlled railway arranges a head-on collision of passenger trains. Can it be stopped? One of those films that you know is going to be bad, but ends up being pretty ok, along with guest stars that you had no idea were going to be there, but ended up being there and not being bad? I have no clue what attracted me to this movie, but there it is, it’s a computer-phobic tale about a train that couldn’t...
Terra Willy: Directed by Eric Tosti. With Landen Beattie, Jason Anthony, Laura Post, Keith Silverstein. Upon the destruction of their ship, Willy is separated from his parents. He lands on a wild and unexplored planet and with the help of Buck, a survival robot, he will have to hold until the arrival of a rescue mission. I’ve been looking for this movie for years, I think it had a limited released in 2019, then it just sorta disappeared. Luckily I keep track of movies that look interesting over on 2queue.com, and I finally found it on a random streaming site,...
Willow: Directed by Ron Howard. With Val Kilmer, Joanne Whalley, Warwick Davis, Jean Marsh. A young farmer is chosen to undertake a perilous journey in order to protect a special baby from an evil queen. It’s been ages since I’ve seen this film with what I can only assume is the entire population of adults under 4 feet. I had forgotten a great deal about the film and was largely going in blind again, but enjoyed myself none the less. Buy On Amazon!
Transformers: The Last Knight: Directed by Michael Bay. With Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Hopkins, Josh Duhamel, Laura Haddock. A deadly threat from Earth’s history reappears and a hunt for a lost artifact takes place between Autobots and Decepticons, while Optimus Prime encounters his creator in space. Arguably the most stupid episode of the franchise, but also arguably the strongest on plot, animation, and drama. Not acting though, oof. It was released back in 2017 and I don’t have the emotional investment to see when/if a sequel is happening, maybe the story elements they were setting up here were forgone for the...
The Bubble: Directed by Judd Apatow. With Harry Trevaldwyn, Samson Kayo, Peter Serafinowicz, Danielle Vitalis. A group of actors and actresses stuck inside a pandemic bubble at a hotel attempts to complete a film. You’d think the movie would be an overweight horror of celebrity encounters with this many A-Listers in a single film, something like the Expendables franchise or even Hollywood Squares, but instead what we get is a complete rip on the concept of celebrity and how these guys are really just like us in nearly no way at all. It’s a fun movie that I highly suggest...
Creature: Directed by William Malone. With Stan Ivar, Wendy Schaal, Lyman Ward, Robert Jaffe. After a member of a geological research team who was sent to Saturn’s largest moon: Titan crashes their spacecraft into a space station, another team is sent to Titan to investigate, not knowing the terror that awaits them. A rather pedestrian film with bad framing, a mediocre sound track, poorly done special effects, and “one take” feeling acting. That is, right up until the characters in the film directly reference 1951’s “The Thing From Another World”, which John Carpenter made an extremely well received sequel to...
The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes: Directed by Robert Butler. With Kurt Russell, Cesar Romero, Joe Flynn, William Schallert. At Medfield College, an accident with a donated computer gives Dexter Riley the ability to remember any knowledge learned instantly and perfectly. Featuring an extremely young still charismatic Kurt Russell, this is an early version of the same concept of the “Chuck” television series, only this one from 1969 makes slightly more sense, as it’s not the data itself that gets transferred to the main character, but the ability to store, then process information itself. Ok, so in reality when you grab...
Wyvern: Directed by Steven R. Monroe. With Nick Chinlund, Erin Karpluk, Barry Corbin, Elaine Miles. They Find a Live Wyvern in small town Alaska. Set in Alaska, or at least an abandoned movie lot with plenty of Alaskan vacation footage, the film is both a low budget dragon fight and an entertainingly competent made for TV Wyvern experience. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the CGI, though the budget shines through when you notice that the CGI Wyvern doesn’t actually physically interact with anything and nearly all of it’s close up set pieces are static shots without much...
Death on the Nile: Directed by Kenneth Branagh. With Michael Rouse, Alaa Safi, Orlando Seale, Charlie Anson. While on vacation on the Nile, Hercule Poirot must investigate the murder of a young heiress. The trailer had me interested, back when I first saw in in the before times, and the cast sealed the deal when I saw exactly who was in it and the types of characters they were playing. I wasn’t familiar with the story before watching it, and while the basic blocks of a murder mystery are there, the pieces are all used in ways that seemed novel...
X-Ray: Directed by Boaz Davidson. With Barbi Benton, Charles Lucia, Jon Van Ness, John Warner Williams. While receiving a routine check-up, a woman finds herself stranded on the hospital’s eighth floor, while someone dressed as a doctor is intent on her never leaving, even if it means killing any staff member who comes into contact with her. A story about a woman with absolutely no agency at all in her life, she’s getting a checkup because her work is making her, she goes to floor 8 because she’s told to, she’s admitted against her will, not told what exactly she’s...
Transformers: Age of Extinction: Directed by Michael Bay. With Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer, Nicola Peltz. When humanity allies with a bounty hunter in pursuit of Optimus Prime, the Autobots turn to a mechanic and his family for help. The fourth of the films, this one is likely the longest, if only because they filmed an entire film’s worth of material in Hong Kong. It’s actually somewhat more enjoyable than the previous film, nearly completely toning down cheeseball dialogue and plot elements, but there were a few times that I distinctly felt like the CGI wasn’t up to snuff,...
Solo: A Star Wars Story: Directed by Ron Howard. With Alden Ehrenreich, Joonas Suotamo, Woody Harrelson, Emilia Clarke. Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in an epic action-adventure that will set the course of one of the Star Wars saga’s most unlikely heroes. Watched this after the other two star wars films I watched this week, it’s still a good film that doesn’t exactly stick the landing, but it definitely doesn’t miss the mark by very much. Buy On Amazon!
Celeste & Jesse Forever: Directed by Lee Toland Krieger. With Rashida Jones, Andy Samberg, Ari Graynor, Eric Christian Olsen. A divorcing couple tries to maintain their friendship while they both pursue other people. Gut wrenching and emotional and hilarious and about as real as you can get with the subject matter. Rashida Jones and Andy Samberg are both hilarious people, and they’re both hilarious in this film, but it’s the kind of funny that’s more realistic and sad at the end of the day, instead of the campy goofy humor that they’re known for. Well, Andy at least, Rashida has...
Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back: Directed by Irvin Kershner. With Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams. After the Rebels are brutally overpowered by the Empire on the ice planet Hoth, Luke Skywalker begins Jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and bounty hunter Boba Fett. Had some horrible news today, so I’m drinkin beers and watching movies that make me feel better. It helps that I’m able to quote like 99% of the lines in Empire. Buy On Amazon!
Star Wars: Episode VI – Return of the Jedi: Directed by Richard Marquand. With Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Billy Dee Williams. After a daring mission to rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebels dispatch to Endor to destroy the second Death Star. Meanwhile, Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side without falling into the Emperor’s trap. I had some horrible news tonight, so here’s the second movie that I watched to try to make it more better. It sorta helped. Buy On Amazon!
After School: Directed by William Olsen. With Sam Bottoms, Renée Coleman, Edward Binns, Dick Cavett. A student-teacher relationship goes way beyond the classroom, including pre-historic times. I got suckered in by that absolutely amazing poster by Drew Struzan. The movie itself is a fairly straightforward and well done story of man’s belief in a higher power, the structures of religion, and how life doesn’t go the way you planned it to. Combined with this story, there’s a story going on about love in pre-historic times with bountiful nudity, lots of grunting, and an alarming amount of grape eating. The combination...
Moonfall: Directed by Roland Emmerich. With Halle Berry, Patrick Wilson, John Bradley, Charlie Plummer. A mysterious force knocks the moon from its orbit around Earth and sends it hurtling on a collision course with life as we know it. It’s a disaster film form Roland Emmerich, who’s been pretty damn consistant in his previous post apocalyptic work with “ID4”, “2012”, and ‘The Day After Tomorrow” all having the same type of feel to them that “Moonfall” has. Sure there’s some really bad green screen work, but the concept is solid as a “terrible science fiction” b-movie concept that we all...
Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One: Directed by Chris Palmer. With Jensen Ackles, Josh Duhamel, Naya Rivera, Troy Baker. Batman investigates a murder spree that takes place on holidays. The first of two movies adapting the 13 volume comic book series by Tim Sale and Jeph Loeb, originally written in 1996/1997, and I still have both the single issues and a omnibus of the story sitting on a shelf in my office. It was one of the better Batman stories at the time, which is saying something, as this was near the height of the Batman comic universe at the...
The Hunt for Bin Laden: Directed by Leslie Woodhead. With Allen Farmer, Richard Clarke, J. Cofer Black, Pat D’Amuro. Witness the 20-year, billion-dollar hunt for the Al-Qaeda leader, as told by the main players who finally brought him down. Released in 2012 just a few years after the arrest, death, and dumping of Bin Laden’s body into a deep dark grave in the middle of the ocean, this is a good summary of the lead up to the American incursion into a foreign country without their knowledge or permission. It didn’t go as well as we had hoped, one of...
The Adam Project: Directed by Shawn Levy. With Ryan Reynolds, Walker Scobell, Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner. After accidentally crash-landing in 2022, time-traveling fighter pilot Adam Reed teams up with his 12-year-old self for a mission to save the future. “Straight to Netflix” can mean many things, usually a movie that would have just barely made it’s budget back in theaters, but this “Adam Project” film turned out to be better than I was expecting, with the interactions between Walker Scobell and Ryan Reynolds being surprisingly earnest and seemingly legitimately emotional. It helps that there’s some eye popping spaceship scenes with...
Old Dogs: Directed by Walt Becker. With John Travolta, Robin Williams, Kelly Preston, Conner Rayburn. Two friends and business partners find their lives turned upside down when strange circumstances lead them to be the temporary guardians of seven year-old twins. Made in 2009, it’s a free spirited movie made right after Travolta’s kid died, and released right after Bernie Mac died from sarcoidosis complications; they both get appropriate dedications in the final credits. An interesting point of fact: they had to shave Robin’s chest for a few scenes of this movie, and considering I know how hairy that guy is,...
The Villain: Directed by Hal Needham. With Kirk Douglas, Ann-Margret, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Paul Lynde. Facing hanging, a bank robber makes a deal with the corrupt banker to avoid execution in exchange for a dirty assignment. It’s a stupid story with increasingly ridiculous and contrived plot points, but if you knew that it was a parody / love letter to the WB cartoons from the 1930 like I did, I bet you’d enjoy it much more than if you didn’t. The obvious name here to look for is Arnold’s, it’s only his 7th role and he’s obviously still getting his acting...
Wish Dragon: Directed by Chris Appelhans. With Will Yun Lee, Jimmy O. Yang, Constance Wu, Natasha Liu Bordizzo. Determined teen Din is longing to reconnect with his childhood best friend when he meets a wish-granting dragon who shows him the magic of possibilities. A heartfelt mix of Disney’s Aladdin and Disney’s animated version of Mulan, the entire cast of this movie appears to be either Chinese or Chinese American, which is fine, but I was surprised that a movie that was so clearly marketed to that audience would go to the lengths that it went to in showing the utter...
Rumble: Directed by Hamish Grieve. With Geraldine Viswanathan, Will Arnett, Stephen A. Smith, Terry Crews. In a world where monster wrestling is a global sport and monsters are superstar athletes, teenage Winnie seeks to follow in her father’s footsteps by coaching a loveable underdog monster into a champion. Amazing animation, somewhat uninspired music, and a story that’s equal parts Pacific Rim, Real Steel, Blues Brothers, and is completely predictable, but it’s still a fun ride. There’s a few voices that you’ll obviously recognize, but Viswanathan sounds exactly like Tawnie Newsom from Lower Decks, to the point that it’s distracting and...
Turning Red: Directed by Domee Shi. With Rosalie Chiang, Sandra Oh, Ava Morse, Hyein Park. A 13-year-old girl named Meilin turns into a giant red panda whenever she gets too excited. It’s Pixar, so do you need me to tell you that it’s an enjoyable emotional roller-coaster that made me cry a few times? Nah, but I’ll tell you that anyways. The animated is top notch and they’re definitely marketing to a very clear and specific audience, but I’m happy to enjoy it even though I’m not remotely in that cohort. It’s out on Disney+ right now. Buy On Amazon!
Cryptozoo: Directed by Dash Shaw. With Lake Bell, Michael Cera, Alex Karpovsky, Zoe Kazan. Cryptozookeepers try to capture a Baku, a dream-eating hybrid creature of legend, and start wondering if they should display these beasts or keep them hidden and unknown. This is a weird one to review: it’d be super easy to pick apart the animation style and the sheer weirdness of the idea of having a zoo full of cryptoid taken from various parts of the world, which on the face of it seems like something we’d see on a made for TV late night special starring actors...
The King of Staten Island: Directed by Judd Apatow. With Pete Davidson, Bel Powley, Ricky Velez, Lou Wilson. Scott has been a case of arrested development since his firefighter dad died. He spends his days smoking weed and dreaming of being a tattoo artist until events force him to grapple with his grief and take his first steps forward in life. There’s a line in this film that really stuck with me: “I’m only 25 and tryin to figure myself out.” I remember being 25 and thinking that, assuming that it would eventually ‘just happen’. Then 30, then 35, then...
Yesterday: Directed by Danny Boyle. With Himesh Patel, Lily James, Sophia Di Martino, Ellise Chappell. A struggling musician realizes he’s the only person on Earth who can remember The Beatles after waking up in an alternate timeline where they never existed. The basic premise is pretty well laid out in the synopsis, but what they don’t mention is that The Beetles aren’t the only missing things from the world that the musician finds himself in. There’s a significant amount of drama involved in his absolute paranoia that this is all an elaborate joke that his friends are playing with him,...
The Birdcage: Directed by Mike Nichols. With Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane, Dianne Wiest. A gay cabaret owner and his drag queen companion agree to put up a false straight front so that their son can introduce them to his fiancée’s right-wing moralistic parents. One of Robin Williams absolutely best dramatic comedy roles, but Robin isn’t even the best part of this film. The interaction between Nathan Lane and Gene Hackman is absolutely delicious, and right when you think it’s about to get stale, boom, the impossible happens and the movie moves into it’s finale. Has there been a...
Mother/Android: Directed by Mattson Tomlin. With Chloë Grace Moretz, Algee Smith, Raúl Castillo, Linnea Gardner. In a post-apocalyptic world rocked by a violent android uprising, a young pregnant woman and her boyfriend desperately search for safety. It’s sad, it’s depressing, and it’s post-apocalyptic, so not a great outlook for anyone in the film. It’s a great movie though, just not exactly what I was looking for at this point in time. Buy On Amazon!
