A man named Zac Hobson awakens to find himself alone in the world. In a desperate attempt to search for others, he finds only two who have their own agenda.

It’s mysterious and at times even creepy, and offers a nice insight into what would someone do when they find themselves alone in the world. As I’ve seen a few years ago “The Last Man On Earth”, I know know where that show stole its best parts from. It’s about loneliness, human connections and how people feel. While being the first science-fiction film ever produced in New Zealand, it’s a great movie, gets five popcorns and jumps into the Movie Vault.

A dark force threatens Alpha, a vast metropolis and home to species from a thousand planets. Special operatives Valerian and Laureline must race to identify the marauding menace and safeguard not just Alpha, but the future of the universe.

It has a huge budget, a ton of A-listers and the critics hate it. So this means it’s a pretty damn good movie. Don’t expect it to be a life changing odyssey, it’s an eye candy movie, with good effects, good casting, and good writing. And considering it’s directed by Luc Besson, try to think of it like a “20-years later” version of The 5th Element. Six stars and goes into the Movie Vault.

The story of The Super Mario Bros. on their journey through the Mushroom Kingdom.

Usually video games very rarely transpose well to movie format, be it cinema or TV. However, it’s a him, Mario!, and really takes the cake. The visuals are stunning, the pacing is fast and doesn’t let you get bored, the music is fantastic, with great throwbacks to nostalgia. A great movie for all kids for all ages, who smashed box office records, so it will definitely see some sequels. Seven popcorns and jumps into the movie vault. MAMMA MIA!

In a ruined and toxic future, thousands live in a giant silo deep underground. After its sheriff breaks a cardinal rule and residents die mysteriously, engineer Juliette (Rebecca Ferguson) starts to uncover shocking secrets and the truth about the silo.

I’ve only seen three episodes so far and I can say I’m hooked. It’s a good version of the “underground bunker story”, of a post apocalyptic civilization featuring social layers, lore and myths, reminding me a bit of “Snowpiercer”. Let’s hope it won’t get axed before its time.

Regardless, the sets are nicely done, the CGI the same, there’s a slow burning tension growing as the story develops, being propelled by great music, decent writing and good performances. All in all, gets five popcorns and it’s definitely worth watching.

Lavsh live action fairy tale adaptation featuring the handsome son of a nobleman who embarks on a series of colorful adventures to become a hero.

Want me to call back up? Who? Bruce Willis?

MMA fighter Cole Young seeks out Earth’s greatest champions in order to stand against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe.

It’s what you’d expect from a Mortal Kombat movie, cheesy lines, raunchy jokes, unrealistic fighting coreographies, a lot of gore and a gratuity of violence. What makes this movie legendary is the perfect execution of the role of Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion by Hiroyuki Sanada. All in all, a very good, fun and violent movie for the entire family to enjoy! Six popcorns.
