Radioactive (2019)
Interesting story told in an uninteresting way
The story of Marie Curie is a very interesting one. Too bad I can t say the same thing for this movie.
While the movie does tell a lot of important stuff about the life of Marie Curie, it tells them very boringly. The cast is not that bad and there are points in the movie that are genuinely interesting.
My biggest problem with this movie is that it skips few years in the future (like Hiroshima and Chernobyl ) now and again which I find unnecessary. Another thing is that movie is not that engaging. If you want to learn about this significant scientist, I would advise you to watch a documentary.
The Vast of Night (2019)
A thrilling sci-fi
If you are a fan of sci-fi and thriller genres, this film is a must.
This movie is probably one the best sci-fi movies I have watched in the past few years. The story is very interesting and the performance by the cast is pretty good. It has a very retro feeling.
My only critique is that there are a few moments in the movie which seem a bit too slow and can get a bit boring.
Selah and the Spades (2019)
Interesting premise, bad execution
This high school drama is not classic school drama and introduces few new concepts (like school factions) which is a welcome surprise in this genre.
However, the movie is often pretty boring. Despite the solid performance by the cast, I found most characters unlikeable (especially the main character). The idea behind the movie was ambitious, but it just fell flat. The idea of factions is a good one, but it is not as explored as I thought it would be.
Troop Zero (2019)
Lovely story made in a strange way
This is a movie that I.thought would be just another kids' movie about school competition. I must admit, I was wrong.
The story tackles some very heavy subjects, but is heartwarming at the same time. The movie boasts a good cast, an engaging story and surprisingly good music.
However, the movie is not perfect. I found potty humor off-putting. And some characters in the movie are one-dimensional.
All in all, the movie is not without Its flaws, but it is a good watch.
