The human brain is one hell of a complex machine. Philosophers, psychologists and scientists have worked restlessly since the dawn of consciousness to try and understand how it works. While a myriad of theories and facts exist on the matter, Pixar decided to represent how our minds function through animation, and it works.
Jurassic World is a fantastic movie if your only expectations are that it will contain dinosaurs, action scenes and won’t take itself seriously. If you were looking for originality, cleverness and visual spectacles akin to the first title you will have a bad time. Don’t get me wrong, the movie is still entertaining and it will certainly gain traction with the younger end of the target audience (or your inner 9 years old as would say Jorge), but I can’t get over how Michael Bay-esque the second half feels. Here's my CinemaSins take on it.
The latest Christopher Nolan was released today on Blu-Ray and DVD (time to update your setup, fellow geek) and I can’t wait to have my second viewing. While I patiently way for the UPS guy to deliver my copy, I thought it’d be nice to detail why you should probably watch this amazing film, if you haven’t already. If you have, just do it a second time for awareness’ sake.
Earth is not the only habitable planet known to man anymore, but as a race we aren’t quite ready to leave behind the rock that saw us evolve into the intelligent, civilized people we are today. My last statement is bordering on sarcasm, as I believe the only reason we aren’t conquering (or at least planning) other solar systems is due to our lack of maturity as a species. Our population is too preoccupied with its self-destructive ways to pay attention to the endless possibilities of space. My hopes are that Civilization: Beyond Earth and Interstellar might open the mind of many.
X-Men Days of Future Past was released last weekend as the highly anticipated entry in the superhero blockbuster lineup that is heating up the summer. It did well in the box office and the critics are claiming it the best movie of the franchise so far (we know it won’t end there), but was it good enough to satisfy my inner geek? The short answer’s yes, but Xavier commands your mind to read further.
