Elevation
Rating: 4 of 5 Big cockroaches
Yet another creatures take over earth flick. But, all in all, it’s one of the good ones. Good acting, actors, effects, plot. Nothing too complicated since it’s basically a sidequest.

The Gorge
Rating: 4 of 5 Evil ents
Mysterious assignments of mysterious assasins to an secret area which has, wait for it, a big gorge. Naturally fog-filled with scary noises, mines, fences, and guard towers. Turned out pretty scary and fun, after a really boring and predictable setup. I even liked the ending.

Vesper
Rating: 2 of 5 stars
Another dystopian future flick. This one centers around a teenager with biohacking skills. Visually impressive, but very slow moving. Not terrible, just kinda boring. For an indie film, the visuals are all the more impressive, just a shame the story doesn’t keep up.

Paradise
Rating: 4 of 5 years
Take “In Time” (with Justin Timberlake), make it grungier, and the lifetime/cash exchange run by a sinister corp, and you’ve basically got the plot. It’s pretty good, German with pretty good dubbing. Lots of action, a simple but solid plot, and a little gratuitous nudity. Also refreshingly no obvious special effects (except for some horrible added “smoke”, seriously, if it looks that fake, don’t use it). Mostly practical explosions and stuff, which was kindof nice and old school.

Rating: 3 of 5 CGI dinos
Visually great, although wonderfully generated dinosaurs has been played out by now. Very superficial and common plot. Crash landed on a planet, protagonist struggles against impossible odds to figure out how to escape. That’s the big plot, so mostly, it’s dealing with dinos. But the endless Jurassic Park films already numbed us to that plot-line. So, it’s a chance to watch Adam Driver run around and try out new facial expressions.

Captive State
Rating: 2 of 5 puffers
Aliens take over earth, some people don’t like it, and I guess they fight back? Hard to tell, really. I found it confusing, with little to no character development, at it was unclear what was so different about alien rule, or just a global dictatorship. All in all, I’d pass on it, there are a lot of perfectly good aliens take over and are challenged by spunky human flicks out there.
