I just came in to the theater on opening day thinking it would be decent and it turned out great. I felt 9/10 was too much of a rating for me personally, but to each their own.

id definitely watch it seeing jemaine is part of it and murray!

The Imitation Game - 9.5/10
The Theory of Everything - 9.7/10

American Sniper - 6/10

Synopsis: A no-hope redneck signs up to fight a war he doesn't understand, and is instead sent off to fight another war. He takes part in an illegal invasion of a blameless country where he mercilessly slaughters hundreds of civilians.

I don't know if it was supposed to a be a simple statement of facts, or it was so subtle as to be indiscernible, but I didn't think it was very good.

Avengers - Age of Derptron - 3/10
All three of those points were for Scarlett Johansson

Ex-Machina - 8/10
It was good, and I liked the Spoiler (highlight to read):

Norway looks nice.

Age of Ultron. It was fun. Standard Marvel fare except with a more star-studded cast than usual. James Spader delivered as Ultron but he's better in the flesh. I'd say it was better than the first one but it wasn't as iconic and it was kind of odd that the bad guy plan in the first and second was essentially the same, involving a lot of disposable peons for the Avengers teem to splat, zap, blast, or shoot while some MacGuffin works at destroying the world somehow.

Looking forward to seeing Mad Max: Fury Road. Even though I've never even seen the Mel Gibson films this one just looks brilliant. Apparently George Miller intended it to be an animation so every shot was meticulously storyboarded. It's likely to mean its assembly is completely different to the standard action movie over the last couple of decades. Very interested to see how it all works out.


Edit: Saw Fury Road. Phwoar.

I don't know what the story line was.

Murica won the war.

interstellar: 9.9/10

nolan is as good as ever, zimmer is fantastic at what he does. -0.1 for sort of clumsy explanation/ending, but that's that. overall, awesome, will watch again to catch nuances later for sure.

I suggest Kip Thorne's "The Science of Interstellar".
http://www.amazon.com/Science-Interstel … 0393351378

He's a theoretical physicist and was the scientific advisor for the movie.
And it's pretty much scientifically accurate, apart from several parts where Nolan trashed science to get better drama.

Having said that, I would rate the movie a bit lower, because the blatantly apparent "love is a universal force" crap messed up what could have become the best hard sci-fi movie so far for me.

McConaughey as the ship's captain would never have allowed Hathaway's reasoning based on love and feelings in reality.
That would have been like the Apollo 13 crew deciding to trust in god, instead of fixing their carbon dioxide scrubber.

There's discovery documentary they did with the same title it's in full on youtube somewhere.

So Jurassic World.

Incredibly dumb. Just ludicrous. So much wrong with this film.

And yet I enjoyed the Hell out of it. It's an exceptional exercise in fan service so much so that it even has a character that is effectively a surrogate for the fans and it creates sequences that tries to redeem the franchise from fan criticisms of the third film with all the subtlety of a sledgehammer. It doesn't have any of the dialogue in the first and second films, its lead isn't believable in any way, the kids are annoying and unconvincing, the convenient plot devices are rampant, the human antagonist chews the scenery more than the dinosaurs do, there are record skips in tone and there are unresolved plot elements and it is by in large a mess. I don't think it will hold up to repeat viewings and I'm not convinced it'll be a Jurassic Park for the younger generation, (but that isn't up to me anyway,) but what the Hell, I had fun and as a fan felt well pandered to.

It will satisfy the fans of the original and it will satisfy people who want to see a big hammy blockbuster full of dinosaur chompings. I'd say in terms of ambition it stands apart from the standard summer blockbuster - or maybe just becasue we haven't seen a dinosaur-based creature feature for a long time. But still anyone going to it looking for anything more than that will be disappointed. Very much separated from its predecessors by being a film for the Marvel age.

I thought Guardians of the Galaxy was an awesome super hero movie.
