I can't put my finger on it. They look better as stills but when they move the look like animatronic disneyland ride characters to me. It's getting there, but it's not there yet.

Lucy - 3 / 10

... WHAT!

The only redeeming features of this film is Scarlett Johansson (to look at, not the acting) and being able to watch the Cinema Sins - Everything Wrong With Lucy video
Otherwise ... WHAT!!!!!

"Exposed" starring Keanu Reeves

1 out of 10. some of the city scapes, and a little bit of the lead female character was vaguely interesting, otherwise total rubbish

Hacksaw Ridge (2016) - 6.5/10

A man wants to join the army after the Pearl Harbor attack, but it's got a catch. He's a man of god and won't touch a weapon. Telling you more would be spoiling it.

The 2nd half of the film is a very graphic display of all the war terrors. Many practical effects, that looked very real. DO NOT watch this with your young children.

I would give it better score but the whole: I'm not insane just because god speaks to me and Vince Vaughn, who might be a great comedian, but he sure made the film look like a comedy in many places. I can't take him seriously in such role. Also, they could work with the characters a bit more. The film felt very rushed.

Rogue One - 10/10

I'm a child of the seventies, saw the first one in the cinema.
This has a strong original feel for me but with more epic-ness, it took me back, not just with the original characters cgi'd in.
I'm once again strong with the Force.

Rouge One - 7/10
I'm not a star wars fan although I always wanted to be a Jedi and have a lightsaber. This is the best Star wars film I've seen and I've seen them all.
I didn't grow up in the 70s.

All Nighter (2017) - 7/10

What a nice surprise. Emile Hirsch and J.K. Simmons had great chemistry. The film was well made, the comedy bits were good, the SNL cameos were also funny, well placed and performed.

The Great Wall 4/10 - Matt Damon puts on some sort of accent to protect the world from some sort of creatures. That's literally it, if you want a mindless predictable action film with absolutely no depth then you'll enjoy it. However I implore you to read a book, paint a picture, go appreciate some architecture rather than watch this.

X-Men Apocalypse 5/10 - better than I was expecting after all the negative reviews. Sits between First class and Days of future past IMO (the former being good and the latter rubbish). Way too long though and it's starting to get a tad confusing with all the chronological jumping about in the X-Men/Wolverine franchises. Also I noticed they had a little dig at themselves in the film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsXjuh7AmAE

Hacksaw Ridge - 7/10
This is me being generous, I don't get the reviews that say this is better than Saving Private Ryan, it's not even at the bottom of the ridge where they start. I didn't feel for any of the characters, there tactics seem to come from FPS and it's seems they just wanted a Michael Bay movie without paying for Michael Bay.
If anything on the Wiki about Desmond Doss true, copying that would of made a better movie.

So, in one film he promotes cultural appropriation, shitlord imperialism, and building walls to keep out savage foreigners.

Needs to check his privilege, big style.

Hidden Figures 4.5/10 - basically a crap version of Apollo 13 with lots of this:
