Black Panther
Great 83 Points 2018

Black Panther joins Wonder Woman as the second cultural-phenomena superhero blockbuster in half a year, each a terrific specimen of the superhero genre, yet transcending it in social impact. Females saw themselves anew in Gal Gadot; The African diaspora gains a new and fantastic folklore in *…

Ready Player One
Great 83 Points 2018

Ready Player One is plenty of fun, yet is leavened by SciFi seriousness. It’s also kind of a cult movie, yet worked for a newbie like me. The more pop culture you know, especially 80s pop culture, the more fun it is.

Steven Spielberg’s best SciFi in 25 years is often an extended visual tickl…

Jurassic World:...
Good 83 Points 2018

Chris Pratt’s charisma is nearly as supernatural as the dinosaurs in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, a competent if not especially terrific summer blockbuster. Pretty much every monster phobia gets exploited. However, the people are ploddingly obvious in their actions and not very engaging, sup…

The Titan
OK 17 Points 2018

What started with a cool premise ended up plodding along and petering out with an unsatisfying conclusion. Perhaps not a total bomb, but definitely skip unless you are a sci-fi die hard.

Great 66 Points 2018

Ant-Man and the Wasp is the first superhero movie to equally feature men and women, with the Wasp being Marvel’s first featured female superhero. As pop culture iconification goes, that’s pretty marvelous.

Equality’s great and all, but fortunately it’s not the only reason to recommend *Ant-M…

The Cloverfield...
OK 17 Points 2018

CP has a solid sci-fi premise that creates many creepily-interesting moments, but it fails to capitalize on that or the decent acting and instead was a dull affair punctuated by adrenaline-fueled moments here and there.

Extinction
OK 17 Points 2018

Michael Pena and crew grind out a made for Netflix Sci Fi thriller with a twist. It mostly comes across as any war flick except in the final 3rd of the movie when it reveals a decent plot twist that finally makes the movie interesting.

Dwayne Johnson and mutant creatures spells non stop action and great fun.

The Meg
Good 17 Points 2018

Things get pretty tense when puny humans in underwater tin cans face the Megolodon (A Big Ass Shark). Non stop fishy action, but I’m still nostalgic for Jaws
