Companion 7/10, really enjoyed it for what it was, and without reading anything prior it was a good spin on a scenario that has been done loads of times before.
What film did you watch last night?

- Start date
Watched this after seeing your post.
Agreed regarding special effects.
I'd say it's a good film for kids/not engaging brain but can't believe it apparently cost £320m to make
I'd give it a 6/10 max, 5/10 seems harsh

The last breath - so-so film based on the true story of a diver who gets trapped at bottom of seabad and runs out of air. Rescue mission engaged. Some bits are quite tense then other times i couldn't care less. 5/10
Ne Zha 2- Animated fantasy adventure from China, biggest grossing animated movie of all time apparently just from Chinese viewings alone. I have not seen the first one (about to start it) but this was really good! 8/10

High Tension / Switchblade Romance - 8/10
Such a grimy, nasty horror film… and one of my favourite ones! Even with the bonkers ‘twist’. One of my favourite film soundtracks too, barring the slightly jarring Muse part. Watched the Second Sight 4K release and it looked great. A notable improvement on the Blu-Ray
I remember thinking the twist was impossible given what had happened in the film previously, but I can’t remember what made me think that.
The Electric State. Was watchable but I’ll never see it again.

The Electric State (2025) - 4/10
A kiddified version of Terminator with goofy looking robots, big ideas and big stars but apart from the visuals, none of the elements are used to great effect.
The alternative 90’s style and blend of robots with live action looks good but rather than being humorous, the film focuses on the drama of the story, making some scenes absurd and others just bad.
The film is too long with too many plot holes and recycled ideas and apart from the lead, the other characters’ motivations are lacking or contrived.

Mickey 17 (2025) - 6.5/10
Saw this last week at the cinema. Good performance from Robert Pattinson but the film sort of felt a bit disjointed and just ended leaning to the cringy side a bit too much by the end.

Picture This (2025) - 2/10
With the hotness that is Simone Ashley in a romcom in London you'd expect it to be ok wouldn't you? Well it was pretentious, utter CRINGE and just all of todays modern tropes rolled into one. Zero chemistry with Simone and her romantic counterpart, yet the only real chemistry she does have is with her work partner who just happens to be gay and absolutely brilliant.
I normally have no issues with pretentious, cringey comedies in London like 'Trying' on AppleTV+ but this film is just borderline rubbish.

Unstoppable - Denzel Washington and Chris Pine on a train stopping a runway train. Decent enough film. 6/10.
