Chaos Walking (2021)

An all-male human colony goes through a shock when a ship with a female pilot crashes nearby.

'Chaos Walking' is an adaptation of a beloved YA Sci-Fi novel. With a ridiculous idea (men's thoughts are constantly exposed to those around them), the film has something to say in terms of entertainment, but as an artistic creation, it leaves a lot to be desired.

Director:  Doug Liman    

With: Tom Holland, Daisy Ridley, Demián Bichir, David Oyelowo, Mads Mikkelsen

Rating: 6.3/10

See How They Run (2022)

In 1950's London, a mostly hated director planning a screen adaptation of a play by Agatha Christie is found murdered.

'See How They Run' is a detective comedy. There are many interesting situations, colorful characters as well, but somehow it just tries too hard. The main actors are adorable but they fail to save a script lacking a strong enough dialogue. And yet it's cute and worth seeing.

Regia:  Tom George    

Cu: Adrien Brody, Saoirse Ronan, Sam Rockwell, David Oyelowo, Sian Clifford, Ruth Wilson

Rating: 7/10

The Cloverfield Paradox (2018)

In space to find a solution to the energy crisis, a team of researchers find themselves in an unexpected situation when a test accident moves them into a duplicate universe.

A Sci-Fi thriller film that works well on its own but also as a component of the Cloverfield trilogy, with a story that serves as the origin for the context of the 3 (very different) films. The idea is interesting, the execution is coherent and the action is exciting enough and the team of actors is well chosen, including some fan favorites (like Chris O'Dowd and Ziyi Zhang).

Director:  Julius Onah      

With: Gugu Mbatha-Raw, David Oyelowo, Daniel Brühl, John Ortiz, Chris O'Dowd, Ziyi Zhang, Elizabeth Debicki, Donal Logue, Simon Pegg (voice)

Rating: 8/10
