The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part (2019)
A very inviting film that neither condescendes to the young, nor alienates adults.
Lego Movie 2 is the type of sequel which does not require you to have seen the original to understand what's going. Which is lucky for me as I still have not even seen the first one yet, but I am now very interested in doing so.
I might have given a higher score, but I wasn't a fan of all the musical segments. Although I loved the not so subtle jab at the pop music industry in the song "This song is gonna get stuck in your head".
The film was funny, colourful, very well animated and most of all memorable. I think I'll remember this film way more than I'll remember all the other schlock in the theatres. What was that ginger girl in jurrasic world called again? Ah who cares.
All in all I found this a refreshing and inviting film that neither condescendes to the young or alienates adults.
Alien: Covenant (2017)
Hey critics! "YOU got the film you deserve!"
First things first I don't think this film is great but I do think it's decent and belongs unapologetically in the Alien franchise (unlike Alien: Res-erection or those god awful AVP films). While there are a lot of fair criticisms there is also a lot of unfair ones too.
By all means this film suffers most in that it knows what it wants to be, however the studio doesn't want to go all out on that concept because of the lukewarm response Prometheus got. And so we got a sequel to Prometheus that was hastily stitched together with the xenomorphs and facehuggers that a lot of people complained about being absent in Prometheus.
I believe the haters of this film and Prometheus got exactly what they deserve in this flick.
This film delves into compelling aspects of creation and evolution that are very disturbing and set this film apart as quite original, I've never seen these concepts explored in such a creepy and effective way. True I saw the David twist at the end coming but that did not take away from that sinking feeling of terror as Daniels' eyes light up in horror as David "tucks the children in". This scene in particular brings this really haunting feeling that stuck with me long after the film ended and everyone in the theatre ran home to write stupid reviews with one star and complain about "Why are the robots kissing goddamnit!! This didn't happen in the other Alien films therefore BAD!!".
Seriously chill out this film is at worst mediocre. 1/10 review scores just show how reactionary and histrionic you are. Two viewings with deep analysis and I see no justification for less than a 5/10 definitely a film worth seeing.
