AQUAMAN: THE LOST KINGDOM (2023) – REVIEW

4/10 It was long wait. But was it worth it? Avatar 3 was not what I was expecting. For a start, they have recast the entire film! Pandora was the only remaniing location, though for some reason, they kept on calling it Atlantis. And where did Aquaman come from! Well, after a time, realised that… Continue reading AQUAMAN: THE LOST KINGDOM (2023) – REVIEW

ROCKETSHIP X-M (1950) – REVIEW

5/10 None Came Back... Released just weeks before George Pal's "Destination Moon" (1950), Rocketship X-M (Expedition Moon) had claimed to be the first "Realistic" portrayal of space travel. It sometimes asserted this, predating the actual space-race by 7 years with the USSR's launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957. Whilst some of this is true, with… Continue reading ROCKETSHIP X-M (1950) – REVIEW

INDEPENDENCE DAY (aka ID4) (SPECIAL EDITION) (1996) – REVIEW

  1996/1998 (Theatrical Version)(Special Edition) DIRECTOR: Roland Emerich Independence Day to me, was the film which heralded in the days of explosive blockbuster. Where it was not just the case that the world was not safe, and than anything could happen, more of a time when as much a possible needed to happen. Monument after… Continue reading INDEPENDENCE DAY (aka ID4) (SPECIAL EDITION) (1996) – REVIEW
