Marvel's Doctor Strange sits really well in this genre. The story was good, the effects were great, as was the acting. I'd actually give it a 4.5 on the ratings scale.
War for the Planet of the Apes was OK, it fit in with the other titles from the reboot. It seemed to want to explain the "evolution" of the apes and the de-evolution of humans too neatly. But what the heck, you don't this type of flick for the great story but for the incredible special effects and it delivers on that all the way!
Alien: Covenant fits in real well with the series and clears up a lot of questions. It's a really good looking movie and the effects are top notch as you would expect.
This is the second outing for the Guardians and it was quite enjoyable. Kurt Russell is as good as ever (good villain); effects were really outstanding... I think this team/franchise will be around for a few more volumes!
Spider-Man Homecoming is a very good re-boot of the franchise. It was set in H.S. rather than college but doesn't really suffer. The humor works far better in this version that the other ones. Michael Keaton just killed it here too - one of the best Marvel villains by far.
La La Land looked pretty, but I wasn't really won over by it... I'm trying to figure out why this got so many awards (other than *ahem* paying for them)... still worth a look though.
John Wick 2, picks up right where the first one left off... so if you liked that one, this one won't disappoint. Great for the martial art/gun-fu/ and even some car-fu tossed in!
It Comes at Night is a nice little movie with a small cast and a good story... it's a good conversation starter about, "what would you do..." after the "collapse" has taken place.
I thought this was going to be a fairly common "zombie" flick but it had Gemma Arterton so I thought I'd give it the once over. It was well acted and well produce, and had a nice little twist at the end with a philosophic challenge Senna Nunua posed to Glen Close and her resulting actions!
