Interstellar | 2014 | 96 | 1 | - For those that didn't follow Nolan's work prior to the Dark Knight trilogy, this is what separates him from other filmmakers. Quite frankly, this is him at his best. |
Ex Machina | 2015 | 84 | 2 | - It's fascinating how such a seemingly simple story can evoke such complex themes. |
Avengers: Age of Ultron | 2015 | 83 | 3 | - An improvement over the first one. 'Age of Ultron' stays much truer to the comics. |
Passengers | 2016 | 82 | 4 | - The questions about humanity, its limits, and our philosophies give this far, far outer space thriller context. |
RoboCop | 2014 | 78 | 5 | - The commentary on the ever-increasing use of drone warfare, television news programs that are overtly subjective, and a shrinking level of personal privacy makes this an action blockbuster packing a surprising potent political punch. |
Iron Man 3 | 2013 | 76 | 6 | - In new hands, the franchise concludes its run with only marginal success. |
Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines | 2003 | 70 | 7 | - As the years have gone on, this franchise has relied more and more on over-the-top special effects. |
Wall-E | 2008 | 62 | 8 | - IS it a harmless and fun family flick, or a Stanley Kubrick-esque critique of society? Quite frankly, it's hard to tell. |
Star Trek: First Contact | 1996 | 50 | 9 | - It really is nothing more than an extended episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation. |
Terminator Genisys | 2015 | 49 | 10 | - 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 | 11 | - The beginning is good, like the first ten minutes. Then you can feel free to leave. |
2001: A Space Odyssey | 1968 | 31 | 12 | - Typical Kubrick: he can't just tell a story. Everything has to be commentary on humanity. |
