Escape from New York (1981): how where 80s like

This is the movie where a landmine, when exploded, cuts a cab in half, with the accuracy of a neurosurgeon, so the front and back seats are intact and the two halves of the car are drivable.

It is an era where CGIs are maybe not even a concept. Having that as a baseline, some of the scenes are very acceptable.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966): no funny title

A historic movie. A chilling theme tune. A long and awesome western.

Glass (2019): 3-man army

Watching the movie is exactly like the glass. Fragile until it breaks. Then it is sharp.

Escape Room (2019):aka fail compilation

I do not know what was the ultimate goal of the idea behind such a project but it is not a movie. It is a decent quality Internet video where the planets align and shit take place.

A good effort where the mechanisms of the escape room are very clever. However the execution quality and the problem solving skills of the six strangers swing from “200 IQ” to “dumber than rocks”.

Dark Phoenix (2019): breaking timelines

Having a big legacy and decent expectations to fulfill, with a first thought, the Dark Phoenix exceeds them.

And sooner or later, here comes the catch.

Looper (2012): how to ruin time-travel

Lets get one thing straight. The movie keeps you interested and excited with a well written script. However, I have to admit that subjectively I can neither forget nor forgive the way the movie treats time-travel as a concept.

Project Almanac (2015):teenage fantasy

It is a story of some teenagers who built a time machine and before you and they know it, things escalate pretty quickly. Even before you enter the dizziness of the camera’s footage, you know that these kids will live a teenage fantasy from every perspective.

Our protagonist, David is a very intelligent teenager trying to be accepted by MIT university. So, he develops awesome projects.
