Review |
Ex Machina | 2015 | 84 | 1 | - It's fascinating how such a seemingly simple story can evoke such complex themes. |
Avengers: Age of Ultron | 2015 | 83 | 2 | - An improvement over the first one. 'Age of Ultron' stays much truer to the comics. |
Chappie | 2015 | 74 | 3 | - 'Chappie' is a story about exploitation, which is ironic because the film itself exploits our sympathy, taking a hunkof metal and making it behave like an innocent puppy. |
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines | 2003 | 70 | 4 | - As the years have gone on, this franchise has relied more and more on over-the-top special effects. |
Matrix, The | 1999 | 69 | 5 | - It aims to be the ultimate sci-fi fantasy flick, but attains only mixed results. |
Wall-E | 2008 | 62 | 6 | - IS it a harmless and fun family flick, or a Stanley Kubrick-esque critique of society? Quite frankly, it's hard to tell. |
Transcendence | 2014 | 53 | 7 | - Like the movie's main character, 'Transendence' gets carried away. Running far past the depths of a story one might actually buy, 'Transendence' doesn't stop until it's plot borders on the ridiculous. |
Metropolis | 1927 | 50 | 8 | - Overrated, if you ask me. |
Terminator Genisys | 2015 | 49 | 9 | - When Arnold Schwarzenegger gets beaten down by his younger CGI self towards the beginning, it's actually a perfect metaphor as to how 'Genisys' stacks up to earlier 'Terminator' versions. |
Terminator: Salvation | 2009 | 47 | 10 | - The beginning is good, like the first ten minutes. Then you can feel free to leave. |
2001: A Space Odyssey | 1968 | 31 | 11 | - Typical Kubrick: he can't just tell a story. Everything has to be commentary on humanity. |
