Maze Runner: The Death Cure (2018)
Well made
Full credits for not having cringe one liners. People make the right mistakes, and the characters are well played. The action sequences were excellent and more realistic.
The visuals during the last sequence were excellent. It gets slightly predictable at places but not in the way you predicted.
Sacrifices felt necessary and justified. It is not the standard "let me die for no reason".
I felt it was a little too long, 10 minutes shorter would have been better.
Remembering the mates from the first movie made this a good wrapper for the prequels. Last but not least the hero lost the open mouth stare that he always had.
Time Trap (2017)
Well made and original
If you are curious about black holes, event horizon, special relativity and that sort of thing, this is a movie for you.
The story is quite original except some elements. The characters were well done. They are not the typical neither too novel. Just apt for the story to move.
The plot gets very real and it seems like nothing happens unnecessarily to move the story ahead.
There is no unnecessary horror element, or no unnecessary build ups. The characters are well grounded that they don't do anything stupid which usually leads to the horror in movies like this. The characters actually try to make sane judgements.
Just don't go with too much of an expectation.
Thiruchitrambalam (2022)
Just lost it at the end
I would have liked it all the way, had they not married at the end. There is nothing wrong with marrying one's best friend, but in a society like us this reinforces the notion that men and women can't be friends forever.
This may not be a problem for 2K kids who does not care, but for 90s kids who would still have another 4 or 5 years of convincing the society that there can be true friendship with opposite gender. I just wish they had a different climax.
You can watch it if you don't care about the message in the film and how it may influence the society, please do check it out. It was an almost feel good film.
Doctor (2021)
THE film to watch if you are stressed out.
I laughed so hard after a long time and the things were not really predictable at all. Excellent cast and everyone contributed in their own way.
The movie just consumes you. Just taking out a Star for slightly unrealistic scenarios.
Should appreciate Siva Karthikeyan for trying something from his usual style of acting and it came out really well.
Vinodhaya Sitham (2021)
Enjoyable but with a pinch of salt.
The film is enjoyable with the excellent cast. Thambi Ramaia was excellent as usual. You will feel happy after watching the movie. The 90 minutes runtime makes it an easy watch.
Samuthrakani does his usual business of conveying good messages to the society, BUT I think he could have done it without going into the meta physical concepts of time (kaalam), universal balance (kanakku), karma etc.
The was a hint of reinforcing - "You are doing right things for the wrong reason". There is a scene where a guy who previously claims to be self made is shown as a fraud, which creates wrong impression about the idea, unnecessarily.
November Story (2021)
Amazing story and characters
The character build up in this series is one of the best in the recent times. Almost all of the characters who play the police role is well done. Especially Arul doss who had an interesting role in Soodhu Kavvum had a chance again to do something out of the ordinary.
Pasupathi was as usual awesome, and kept on showing his Kothalathevan face. Everything connects beautifully. Director has shown that investigation is a team work, which no one has done before in Tamil cinema. The story is gripping.
Awake (2021)
Pretty Good!
The movie is pretty good for a Friday night
The story is fast paced and doesn't have scenes which are unnecessary. This also leads to some unexplained things but they are fine since they doesn't impact the story telling much. I would not have liked it if it were 15 minutes longer.
The only thing that bothered me is why are satellites falling? Even it is a solar flare I don't think it will de-orbit them so quickly.
Mad Max (1979)
How come such a franchise started with this film?
Iliked the second part so much aand got a chance to watch this first film today. I was so disappointed that I had to write this review. The plot was written on a bunch of unnatural-stupid human decisions. I don't understand why Goose rides to just fall for no reason and how did they know he was coming back. The wife leaves Mel Gibson, Mel Gibson leaves his son and all of them leave Mel Gibson. Above all, how does one not manage to dodge at least one motorcycle from a stable vehicle like car.
How does Mel Gibson not see the ToeCutter "hiding" in a vast land of nothing but grass. The movie justifies its title though. I can't see any sense in this film whatsoever.
KD (2019)
Well acted well scripted and feel good
The actors have done a great job. I liked the way movie proceeded. Above all, I felt good after watching it, that matters more than anything.
The Meg (2018)
No cliche Hollywood animal movie
This movie deserves a better rating just for not having the cliche-esque scenes. The unexpected twists tops it off and at no place in the movie I felt "why didn't they try that and this?". The situaton feels natural and nowhere I felt it was forced for the thrill factor.
Started the movie with no expectations because of the low rating and ended up surprised.
The Predator (2018)
I have never seen a movie this bad in the recent times
I had huge expectations for a predator movie but this one spoiled it.
