Mickey 17, Bong Joon-ho’s latest, is a Frankenstein’s Monster of a movie, but one that fails to come to life.
Our titular iterative protagonist, hapless sad-sack Mickey (Robert Pattinson; endearing, like a naïfish Looney Tune), discovers that intergalactic travel isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, when he realises he’s signed up to be an Expendable.…
Alien: Romulus, Fede Álvarez’s addition to the iconic franchise, starts as lean, atmospheric thriller, but, like a face-hugger proboscis down the oesophagus, is forcibly impregnated with clumsy fan service.
Rain (Cailee Spaeny, effective but largely wasted in a straightforward heroine role), our new Ripley, is desperate to escape from the grimy, tenebrous mining colony of Jackson’s Star.…
There is perhaps no genre as primed for grand explorations of the human condition as science fiction.
Not constrained by the limits of the world as it is, it’s free to pose questions and imagine scenarios by which we might better understand ourselves.…
Some movies seem purposefully designed for critics to have fun with, if not necessarily cinema audiences. Robert Rodriguez’s Hypnotic is just such a movie.
From its hopelessly dated, sub 00s-Nolan sci-fi thriller premise to its almost comically one-note lead performance – Affleck’s expressions range from a frown to a grimace to a scowl – to the oh-so generic title, it’s an inducement to snarky headlines, like “Hypnotic put me to sleep.”…
We see just how deep the rabbit hole goes in our latest episode, as we return to the Matrix.
Does director and co-writer Lana Wachowski’s return to the franchise that revolutionised sci-fi action cinema pay off, or is it a case for deja vu all over again?…
Episode 128 of The Movie Robcast whisks you away to the faraway world of Arrakis for our review of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune.
Can Villeneuve succeed where David Lynch failed back in 1984, and land Frank Herbert’s epic novel, the Great White Whale of sci-fi literature?…
Episode 120 of The Movie Robcast sees Marvel returning to the big screen with Black Widow.
Will Scarlett Johansson’s COVID-delayed swansong in her megastar making role be worth the wait? Or is this Tenet all over again?
The Robs also make room for Loki chat, and Rob Wallis looks ahead to all the Marvel arriving on the big screen and small over the next year.…
The Tomorrow War is a big, dumb sci-fi actioner with an actual semi-functioning emotional component.
Dan Forester (Chris Pratt) is an ex Green Beret now working as a high-school chemistry teacher. His life with wife Emmy (Betty Gilpin, underutilised) and young daughter Muri (Ryan Kiera Armstrong) is idyllic, though Dan is struggling to break into the field of research science.…
Episode 117 of The Movie Robcast looks at two big releases, both of which are currently playing in cinemas!
John Krasinski’s A Quiet Place Part II was delayed from the beginning of the pandemic in 2020, arriving over a year later?…
Before there was The Matrix, there was Johnny Mnemonic.
Keanu Reeves’ first foray into the cyberpunk genre came in 1995, four years before the Wachowskis’ genre-redefining classic, but not in a way likely to make his career highlights reel.
Johnny Mnemonic slots neatly into a trend of blockbusters fascinated by the possibilities of the still-emerging internet.…
