Films I watched this week (NO SPOILERS) (Vol 3)
Discussion
The Tomorrow War - newly released on Prime
It has a fairly predictable plot but it was good nonetheless. Mixture of Sci-Fi, aliens and war. Alongside Chris Pratt and the gloriously lovely Yvonne Strahovski (from Dexter), there's JK Simmons in a bit part but a big-enough bit part to make it worthwhile.

The Tomorrow War
Starts off with good intentions, but really is a proper cheese fest, it is like all the pastiches taken from action films into one, sometimes i actually thought it was a comedy film.
o.k watch to waste some time 5/10 More plots holes that the final series of GOT.

Alien, terminator, edge of tomorrow, war of the worlds, Independence Day you name it this movie rips it off.
Very much less than the sum of its parts.
3/10

Edge of tommorow is like a totally different league, this 200 million where was the money spent, because it wasn't acting or story or writing..
I hate it when the ruin Scifi films with American processed cheese.

Watched it last night too, felt like I was watching cut scenes from a computer game. I think with games now doing this sort of thing so well, Hollywood really do need to up their game or find a new formula for action films.Starts off with good intentions, but really is a proper cheese fest, it is like all the pastiches taken from action films into one, sometimes i actually thought it was a comedy film.

5/10 from me - must try harder

It's absolutely dire from bad CGI to Wahlberg wanting to be Tom Cruise, ham acting from most actors, the clichéd nonsense script, lack of any palpable tension or depth to any character so no-one cared if they died, utter bilge. All the baddy had to do was shoot himself with his own bullet. 2/10.
Sounds like a spoiler that. Not that I'll be rushing to see it Bill & Ted Face the Music
Finally got around to seeing this as it's just come on Sky Movies, I think it was released in some cinemas around the time of the first lockdown.
It's another Bill & Ted film, with a bit of time travel, meeting their future selves, death, etc. with a lot of the 90 minute run time taken up with their daughters doing some time travel.
7/10 and that's probably being generous, but it's a decent way of spending 90 minutes.

A Quiet Place part 2 (2021)
Critics reviews are fairly average at best, and I absolutely hated the first one. Idiotic premise, there’s no way I could be totally quiet for an extended period of time let alone with a baby/young family.
This however is different, and is massively improved. Premise is already known, and this time I actually started to believe it. In 5.1 surround, the opening sequence alone is worth watching, just superb. Nicely done.
8/10.

Just another in a line of pointless remakes with women saving the day because the original had blokes. (Oceans 8, ghost busters, Terminator Dark Fate...)
No real plot depth, it almost looked like Keanu was embarrassed by it at times.
4/10 max.
The Tomorrow War
Posters go back in time and post about the same film at random times throughout the day over several days, even though there are already loads of posts on the subject.
It only *looks* like people are posting without reading because of the wibbly-wobbly nature of time travel.
