Captain Phillips (2013)

Interesting movie

[9/10 · 29 April 2017]

We don't know so much about these activities oversea. It was interesting watch story about different point of view. Very interesting "play" with camera, it involves about story. You feel on shoes of every character on screen. It was a good thriller. It's incredible things happened on our world these days.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Great visual sound

[29 April 2017]

Music on this movie is fantastic. It belong to every scene on screen. Story was good, great visual effects, funny quotes, interesting links to another marvel movies. My family and I enjoyed plenty. Not all thinking are like we supposed. Characters have yet some secrets. It's a fantastic movie.

The Fate of the Furious (2017)

Funny...more....

[8/10 · 16 April 2017]

Fast & Furious saga it's funny. We'll travel by fantastic places, we'll see again characters, we'll see fantastic cars, we'll listen music, we'll have new ideas about family. Movie is colorful, plenty of action, new challenges, new characters, new connections.. I enjoyed, My family enjoyed too. If you like last movies, this will not be exception.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016)

Good for kids

[7/10 · 5 June 2016]

This movie is good for children: visual effects, good music, funny dialogues, and get some characters from the main story about TMNT, but in my personal opinion, i enjoyed more the first saga (90's). Good points about this movie are the defined roles about turtles: Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello. It includes new characters, and do emphasis in cinematic characteristics about New York: Liberty's statue, parade, pizza, police, & basketball. Megan Fox like April is a good election, too. The message that i recovered on this movie is "workteam". If you are looking for a good movie to see with children it's a good election.

Alice Through the Looking Glass (2016)

Innecesary extension from "Alice in wonderland"

[7/10 · 29 May 2016]

I enjoyed some aspects from the movie like music, cast (specially Mia Wasikowska, Helena Bonham Carter, Anne Hathaway), costume, makeup, sound, visual effects and cinematography, but the script don't give surprising elements to the Alice's history. I feel this new movie like an extension from "Alice in wonderland". It's true that in the previous film some aspects from the book weren't included, but the opportunity of a surprising film was gone. Some messages at the movie are very good. The inclusion from Sacha Baron Cohen like Time, was a good idea. If your are looking a movie to enjoy colors and scenes,this is your movie, but if you are looking for a good story this isn't. But, the best critic is yours, once you have seen the movie.

X-Men: Apocalypse (2016)

Fantastic !!!

[10/10 · 21 May 2016]

I enjoyed a lot this new movie about X MEN, because of the actors, the photographs, the locations, and the story. It have fantastic scenes that you are going to enjoy, if you liked X MEN. The music is very good. It remembered me the TV cartoon series. I liked The role of Jennifer Lawrence. You are going to enjoy action scenes, but it has also interesting dialogues, the X MEN saga takes continuity strong with this new movie. Remember see the post-credits scene. The story takes place during 80's. It is linked very well to X MEN: First class, and X MEN: Days of future past. Quick Silver is spectacular. In 3D the movie works very well.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)

...You need to watch

[9/10 · 27 March 2016]

We have many expectedness about these movie, specially because we read about these stories at comics and the transition from the comic to the movie is not a easy work. I enjoyed the movie because I like both main characters. Also it was the opportunities to have a very good family time. I think that it is a very good effort from DC to have his own space at screens versus Marvel, many of the comics' characters need this opportunity for be known by the public. I want to see the next DC's movies to come. I don't like some specific details, but in general terms It is a good movie. The best criticize is going to be yours when you have watched the movie.

Run All Night (2015)

Good movie

[9/10 · 25 April 2015]

I selected this movie, because it was available. I liked movies with Liam Neeson, but the story caught me. The movie showed us different aspects from New York City for a action movie. The actors made credible this story. Also the music is good for the movie's atmosphere. All this factors remembered me movies like "The Warriors" (1979), Collateral (2004), inclusive Taken (2008). The story goes from less to more, I really enjoyed it. Lighting used is good too, interesting dialogs, and a good lesson about parenthood. Although a action movie, I liked implicit messages about family and loyalty. Definitely a recommended movie.

Furious 7 (2015)

Great

[8/10 · 25 April 2015]

Little by little "Fast & Furious" saga include new places, new challenges and (of course), new drivers. The main interesting on public was the facts related with Paul Walker, but the story was good. The action scenes goes beyond physical rules (for funny), the cars are incredible, doing new things, that perhaps we did only with our toys. the music is in accordance with the story, also dialogs, inclusive little ads. Entertaining for "big boys" but also for girls. When i watch first movie about this saga i was very skeptical but now all movies that make up the saga are on my favorite's list movie. In Mexico is first office office for three weeks.

Edge of Tomorrow (2014)

Interesting story

[8/10 · 8 June 2014]

Like other people, I like this movie. It take again the idea of extraterrestrial versus humanity, a common topic inclusive on video games. This is the third movie were Tom Cruise confront extraterrestrial. The cast is very good. I like the scenes about London and Paris. It remember Day "D". The sound effects are incredible. The story is good, and you can't imagine the role performance by Tom Cruise. I liked photography a lot. Some of the quotes are good. It's a good sci fi film, and it is a good start for summer. Some scenes are inclusive funny. One thing is true in this movie: Since start to end you are going to be attending all action on screen.

Maleficent (2014)

Big Movie

[10/10 · 7 June 2014]

The first reason for see this movie, is Angelina Jolie, but all in this movie is incredible: dressing, images, music, story, Visual effects. A different story. In this movie you found why Maleficient go to the castle, also you understand the roles of other characters. The voice of Angelina Jolie is attractive, but at the same time you feel fear about her. Most of us, knew about this story when we were children. But is fantastic watch this movie now in real action. We could talk about this movie like feminist. I watch this movie twice, and i suggest all my family go to watch it. Sincerely, I hope Disney did this with all their classic movie.

Godzilla (2014)

Just old style

[8/10 · 7 June 2014]

I think this new version of Godzilla, really is just first movie about Godzilla. Japan is the origin of story, and many close circumstances. I think the monster is fantastic.

The story is good, It could be better. The cast was good. The music is regular. It should be a mix between American pop music and traditional Asian music. The visual effects are good. The sets are fantastic, I would like see bigger sets.

Costume design and make up are enough. Sound it's incredible, specially Godzilla "voice".

It's not a children movie, It's for adults that watch "Godzilla" when they were children.

X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)

A very good movie

[10/10 · 25 May 2014]

X Men was one of the first movies about comics during last decade.

The cartoon show on TV was amazing, but we need see it at movies. The mix between stories about X Men was marvelous.

The contrast color between future and present is other character in this movie.

All actors are BIG. Filled with action, but a very good story, and mixing mutant activities with human history. The photography is very good, the music too.

The participation of Peter Dinklage is the spice in this movie. You need to see it. And the final scene pots credits is....

When the movie comes to end, you want to see more, and more, and more

The Conjuring (2013)

True suspense

[9/10 · 29 September 2013]

The horror genre is privileged enjoy it when the story without obvious or grotesque images. This movie is an example of that.

The story is powerful. You can't stay indifferent to the events on the screen. I enjoyment it in the middle of a movie theater only accompanied by my wife. A great movie.

The recreation and music of the era in which the act is successful. Presence of "Annabelle" doll is very good for starting the movie. The lighting becomes a character over plot. The casting seems appropriate. the locations of the movie are also great for the plot.

Awoke in me the interest to learn more about The Warren.

World War Z (2013)

A different movie about Zombies

[10/10 · 14 July 2013]

Almost all zombies' movies are focused in closed places: a town, a mall, a school, a neighborhood… but in this movie we can imagine the problem at global scale: US, Korea, Europe. It is a movie with fast sequences, and focused in one man with an objective at mind: rescue his family.

I would like that the film includes some of the most representative figures included in the book:

a) Damages to the government structures around the world b) Problems at Pakistan c) Problems at Iran d) Chinese civil war But anyway i enjoyed the story, the locations and the end. About zombies it is a suggested movie. This time are not the US at charge of the world rescue… it is the United Nations. I can't wait for the second part.

Despicable Me 2 (2013)

Minions are back

[9/10 · 10 July 2013]

In the first movie, Gru is an atypical character: a villain that wants get the recognition of the people. In this new movie, Gru tries to be a "normal person" for his daughters.

A secret agency recruits him for solve a case. At the same time he founds the love, and tried of don't lose the control about his daughter, specially Edith.

In this new movie, the stars are the minions, who are going to have their own movie next year.

It's incredible, to see the minions singing

Very funny!!!

Furious 6 (2013)

Fast and Furious 6

[8/10 · 26 May 2013]

The cars are one of the basic elements for action movies nowadays and that's the reason for fast & furious's success. After Rio, Toretto's family: Dominic, O Conner, Mia are now at Europa, and Hobbs ask them for help because a Russian ex-military is planning traffic with a powerful weapon; one argue is convincing: Letty is alive. Spectacular sequences, big cars, London, and Spain Highways are the complement for this movie. When we think that the movie is ending, takes places a story change. One of the think that like me from the movie is that between lines they promote the value of the family, and one dialog from Toretto show this: "…Do not turn your back on your family even if they give it to you if…". A excellent sequence introduce a Jason Statham as a new villain for the next movie and explain how Han Lue dead.

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

Star Trek: Live long and prosper

[8/10 · 12 May 2013]

This weekend has been released in Mexico the next installment of STAR TREK: INTO DARKENESS. Therethrough we see that characters are not black or white, absolutely everyone has shades of gray and this film explores this.

Very interesting the vision about our planet, specially about London.

Among other interesting details of the plot consolidate friendship between Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk.

At the end you are going to expect what more is on the future of the SS Enterprise...
