Shares too many story/character beats with SAVING PRIVATE RYAN. But, as an action-thriller, it delivers.
ROBOT OVERLORDS ★★☆☆☆
Joins REAL STEEL as another half-baked family automaton flick.
TRIPODS-lite.
THE WHITE HAIRED WITCH OF LUNAR KINGDOM ★☆☆☆☆
Wading through a dire martial arts romance is a chore when it's this inept.
MONSTERS: DARK CONTINENT ★☆☆☆☆
Beauty and wonder of predecessor jettisoned, for pseudo-gung-ho garbage.
Appalling directed.
That's it for LFF 2014. My top five:
- WHIPLASH
- THE TRIBE
- A GIRL WALKS HOME ALONE AT NIGHT
- BIRDMAN
- THE SATELLITE GIRL AND THE MILK COW
