Blackhat. Just a good thilladrama action movie good plot.
I thought it was a little slow at times, but the computer hacking stuff was pretty realistic.

Avengers: age of ultron: 7/10 (and I'm a HUGE) comic fan
Just as expected. Kind of ho/hum
No real wow
I hope the next one is better
Ex-machina: 6/10 and that's a stretch because I'm a sci fi fan
Decent movie
Kept waiting for the unexpected to happen and it never did
Jupiter ascending: 5/10
Put your brain on stand by

I said it before and I will say it again. The comic book movies need fan input. They are losing site of what it should be.
Zero wow factor. Agreed. But in a super hero movie that is inexcusable. How do you ***** that up??
Ex-machina. Still have to see it.

The formula which made Jurassic Park great is still alive in this latest rendition:
Chris Pratt was perfect casting as the hero. Vincent D'Onofrio was a good choice as the shady enterprising military villain wanting to use the dinosaurs for devious means. Irrfan Khan assumes Richard Attenborough's role as the rich visionary who makes dinosaur creation possible. The two actors playing the brothers did a good job of dealing with the terror of not getting eaten. I believe the two kids from the original movie acted much more fearful than these two though. To me, the actress playing Claire did her best work when the dinosaurs became a threat she no longer controlled. It may be only me but she seemed pretty wooden as the unfeeling aunt at the beginning of the movie and too overly caring at the movie's end. The only character's fate I felt "bad" for was Claire's assistant. That was just wrong.
- Ambitious/naïve people create dinosaurs.
- Curious people want to see dinosaurs up close.
- Dinosaurs eat as many ambitious, naïve, curious people as they can.
The latest central dinosaur is well-worth buying tickets to see this movie. The raptors always deliver equal parts scare and fun. And T-Rex is old faithful. I think this latest film does the movie franchise proud.
Terminator: Genisys - 6/10. There's a lot I liked about this movie (a lot of tie backs to the first 2 movies, decent action, and of course having Arnold back). However, there's some pretty big flaws. The main one is that the story just doesn't make any sense (of course when you really think about it, none of them are on strong ground logically speaking). They just don't really explain the mechanics of what's going on with regards to time. I don't know if this is just because they're throwing crap against the wall and never had it thought out much, or if they just didn't spend enough effort making it clear. The acting is okay, though I think Clarke is capable of better. I didn't hate Courtney as much as I expected to (and usually do). J.K. Simmons is kind of wasted, but entertaining when there. The humor was sparse, and usually left to Arnold. The last thing that really bugged me was the helicopter scene (the whole thing, not how it ended), which was just completely ridiculous and unnecessary. It was an okay movie that didn't make much sense. I probably enjoyed it more than Jurassic World, but that was at least coherent, even if just as dumb.
