Review: Fantastic Four – First Steps

Review: Star Trek (1966-69)
The original series of Star Trek, created by Gene Roddenberry started a humble existence in 1966. Starring William Shatner as the iconic Captain Kirk, a role that would define his entire career. Beside him Shakespearian trained Leonard Nimoy as Spock, and DeForrest Kelly as Dr Leonard McCoy. The rest of the crew… well, they are…
Review: M3GAN 2.0
Genuinely, Pixar’s Elio had scarier scenes in it. When a military-grade robot goes on a rampage, Gemma and her niece are roped into further turmoil. Not only does this robot have uncanny similarities to M3GAN, a robot Gemma designed, but M3GAN herself has something to say about it all. Director Gerard Johnstone and his writing…

Review: Star Trek – Enterprise
I hope you like TIME TRAVEL. Star Trek: Enterprise, although it first aired as simply “Enterprise“, began its journey in 2001. Unfortunately for it, Star Trek will never be truly successful after the turn of the millennium. At this time, Star Trek: Insurrection had fumbled badly in cinemas, and Star Trek: Nemesis was around the…
Review: Mickey 17
So much quality here, so why does it leave such an empty impression? In the distant future, people want off Earth. Mickey is wanting freedom as well, for reasons, and enlists as an Expendable. He didn’t read the fine print, though, and finds himself as a human canary; experimented on until death in the depths…
Review: Star Trek – Voyager
Usually Star Trek: Enterprise is cited as the moment when Trek “lost it.” I think it was a little earlier, with Star Trek: Voyager. Which is painful to say; I grew up watching Voyager almost as much as the previous two. I clearly remember going and buying VHS tapes (each containing two whole episodes!) which…
Review: Captain America: Brave New World
An MCU paint-by-numbers. It is perfectly serviceable, but doesn’t have any real punch. Sam Wilson, aka Captain America, finds an old friend being tried for attempted assassination of the American President. But upon investigating this, he finds a darker secret underneath. It isn’t uncommon knowledge that Captain America: Brave New World was in development hell…
