This remake diverges from the original’s grimm finale. Its predictable turns lead-up to a obviously crowd-pleasing climactic action standoff with weapons drawn. It’s silly and feels like a cop-out

Director Robert Lorenz does well to make the placid look becoming. There’s an underpinning of suspense in the manner in which the narrative plays out

The narrative doesn’t play out the way we expect it to. Issues of consent, gender superiority etc are all twisted around to make what we thought was apparent, seem farcical

The narrative feels scattered at the start and then begins to take some shape as Burton’s characters start to gain some meaning in the byplay

AfrAId movie review: This could have been one of the most important movies of our time but Chris Weitz’s creation about technological evolution has a very limiting and unimaginative agenda

Set in 2011, this film follows the template set by ‘The Conjuring’ universe. Stripped of spookiness or nuance, the narrative goes perversely dramatic over a substance abusing single Mom’s efforts to stay afloat

It’s quite a bizarre set-up that seems to draw inspiration from Emerald Fennell’s ‘Promising Young Woman,’ the ‘Lost’ and ‘Paradise Island’ series but Kravitz is far more definite about sexual violence against women

This film adaptation of the children’s book Harold and the Purple Crayon, written by Crockett Johnson and published in 1955 has imaginative power but fails to make it all seem magical

Alien: Romulus has some strong sequences generated from old-school practical effects and modern horror elements. The visuals are dark with flashlights as the main light source - very effective in enhancing the threat perception in confined dingy spaces
