Favorite Part: When the team escapes from prison.

 

Favorite Character: Peter Quill

 

Synopsis: Peter Quill, an earthling, was exploring an abandoned planet, looking for some stuff and he had stolen a mysterious orb. But as he tries to sell it, four other creatures try to steal it from each other causing them to get arrested. They teamed up to escape from prison but they learned that Ronan is going to use the infinity stone to destroy the Xander planet with the infinity stone now the band of misfits must team up to stop them.

 

The Review: A excellent marvel version of Star Wars. Love the soundtrack (which is peter’s mix tape of music from his home planet). The impressive make up on Bautista turned him into Drax the Destroyer. Let’s not forget the unforgettable grooving Groot. And Rocket…let’s say you do not want to try to be friends with him. An incredible Marvel picture!

Quote: “This is Ripley, last survivor of the Nostromo, signing off.”- Ellen Ripley

 

Fun Fact: Harrison Ford turned down the role of Captain Dallas.

 

Favorite Part: When Ripley tries to flee Nostromo as it self-destructs.

 

Favorite Character: Alien

 

Synopsis: On the ship of Nostromo, are the crew. They received the transmission that they believed is the SOS signal. While exploring the planet, one of the crew members found the eggs of an alien but then the creature became attached to him and was putted in quarantine. When he got out, he was joined by the crew members at the dinner table. But then the baby alien burst out of his stomach, killing him and running away. The rest of the crew then must find the alien and kill it before things get worse. But the alien had grown so quickly and is soon hunting down crew members one by one.

 

The Review: What do you get when you mixed a horror film with Star Wars? You get Alien. With such useful gadgets and stuff, this makes a great spaceship. Ripley is certainly an icon heroine. Love the creature itself as it’s scary and Sci-Fi looking at the same time. Not to mention the iconic alien burst of the stomach scene. The Sci-Fi hit is a gas tank which you need to fill up the Sci-Fi vehicle.

Quote: “I am definitely going to die up here…if I have to listen to any more god-awful disco music.”- Mark Watney

Favorite part: When Mark was gathering up the food in the hab.

Favorite Character: Mark Watney

Synopsis: On Mars, a group of astronauts are strolling through the storm but astronaut Mark Watney, has been knocked off and claimed dead. The rest of the astronauts abandoned mars, not knowing that Mark is still alive. He woke up and found out he is alone and he is gonna have to adapt in order to survive on a planet where nothing grows. Back on earth, NASA discovered that Mark is still alive and they really gonna have to think big if they are to rescue him.

The Review: People always say they want to go to Mars, well The Martian is the closest thing they’ll get. It’s filled with hopes, science and survival. The Martian is Gravity’s (2013) twin. There is no Mark Watney like Matt Damon. His comedic performance is out of this world (literally)! This film will take you to Mars!

Favorite Part: When the turtles fought Karai at the subway station.

 

Synopsis: April O’Neil is a news reporter in New York City and is desperate to find a big story. AS she witnessed the hostage at the train station, she notices strange creatures saving them. She shortly notices that those creatures are four turtles. She soon later discovers that those turtles were her pets that she thought died in her father’s lab fire. Nobody believes her except for a rich scientist, Eric Sacks, who is Shredder’s pupil and is planning on releasing toxins in the whole city. Locating and captured three of the turtles, Raphael, April and her partner, Veans must save the turtles and New York.

 

The Review: If you are a true TMNT fan, I probably wouldn’t recommend this movie. This film focused mostly on April when it is supposed to be more focused on the turtles. They are pretty realistic though and it is an average explosive film.
