| Avengers: Age of Ultron | 2015 | 93 | 1 | (full review) - AVENGERS: AGE OF ULTRON allows for more than just action sequence after action sequence. Although those are great too, particularly Iron Man trying to tame one of The Hulk's out of control rampages, but what makes the movie really work is the exploration of the character's relationships, interactions, trusts, mistrusts, powers, and weaknesses. | | Ex Machina | 2015 | 93 | 1 | (full review) - Ex Machina takes place entirely inside Nathan's minimalist, luxury compound which sets a tension of danger for Caleb who is not free to leave until the helicopter scheduled to return in 7 days comes for him. The script is also quite clever when it comes to keeping the audience guessing on the motives of each character, many mind games being played... | | Big Hero 6 | 2014 | 80 | 3 | (full review) - I gotta say, the movie works. Directors Don Hall & Chris Williams / Jordan Roberts (screenplay) & Don Hall (story) have hit that middle ground of what kids will tune into and what parents won't tune out. It's not quite as much zany fun as this summer's blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy (click for T&T post) but it gives you that same theme of rooting for a bunch of misfits coming together to bring the best and the worst of themselves to fight a common foe. And Baymax is almost as lovably annoying and wonderfully weird as Galaxy's Groot. |
