Terminator Salvation



  • Directed by McG
  • Starring Christian Bale, Sam Worthington
  • Sam Worthington's terrific role is hijacked by Bale's uninspired performance. The problem isn't that Bale is a bad actor, its that John Connor is not particularly interesting. If the movie has focused more on Sam's character, it would have been better. -Comment written by Dear

Angels & Demons



  • Directed by Ron Howard
  • Starring Tom Hanks, Ewam McGregor, Stellan Skarsgard
  • This Davinci Code sequel is based less on its novel than its predecessor, and benefits from it. The mystery solving sequences are way too fast and abrupt to ever mean anything, but the plot's main idea, "Science vs. Religion", is strong enough to carry my interest. -Comment written by Dear

Star Trek



  • Durected by J.J. Abrams
  • Starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Eric Bana, Leonard Nimoy
  • One of the most straight up enjoyable sci-fi flicks I've ever seen. The story might lack a certain depth characteristic to Star Trek films, but damn is it fun to watch. The film oozes energy and momentum, relentless in its pacing. Here's hoping for more successful sequels to this franchise reboot. -Comment written by Dear
