Alien: Covenant
Still a long way off the magic(terror?) of the original 2
The opening scene summed this film up for me. Its all about David and a story of creation.
Like many of the Alien films taken in isolation its an ok watch. Infact pretty its good, there is a nice mix of horror and sci fi, if a bit silly (lots of silly moments that I thought had been left in the 90’s)
But where this film really fails is its inclusion of the legendry xenomorph. Its almost as if scott has no interest in it, at one point he even appears to mock it – ‘look in here, its safe, honestly’.
War for the Planet of the Apes
wont let me watch it on a pc
drm prevents viewing on a pc.
visual effects are awesome but 1 star due to publishers attempt to stop me watching something ive paid for
Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol.2
highly entertaining
I dont think there was a huge amount to this film. Its certainly no classic. And such a weird group of characters... but its never serious.
I didnt really care where the plot was going or came from, it was just hugely good fun to watch.
And then enhanced with the presence of one of the coolest guys in the universe... who happens to be playing the coolest guy in the universe
Logan
wouldnt play on PC
because of the silly drm im giving this 1 star.
wanted an internet connection to play, but was to lame to notice there was one. So expects me to call a number to get a code.
To play a disc ive rented on a player i purchased running software i purchased.
If this continues im going streaming and giving up on discs.
