Freaks (Well Go USA Entertainment) IMDb: 6.7

A movie with an unusual concept. It begins  with a girl named Chloe who is forced by her  

father to memorize details about her "fake  mother" so as not to give herself away with  

the wrong answers. Although her father tells  her very little about the outside world, she  

believes he is simply concerned for her safety. But there are still many things she doesn't  

understand. What is so dangerous out there?  Why does Chloe sometimes wake up in a different  

house? Why does a chained woman appear in her  visions? And why is it forbidden to go outside?

The movie is best watched  without knowing the premise,  

which the trailer and synopsis give away anyway.  And yet, the movie is actually mysterious and  

fascinating. Even if the viewer assumes that  everything that happens is not what it seems,  

the plot develops in directions that  are almost impossible to predict,  

until the finale, when you don't know what  to believe and are lost in speculation.

"Freaks" is less about flashy CGI and more about  family relationships and a clever, well-crafted  

plot. And that's why the story, whose outlines  are already familiar to every viewer, works.

Oxygen (Netflix) IMDb: 6.5

Liz wakes up in a sealed capsule, and a  built-in artificial intelligence tells  

her that she has less than two hours  to remember everything about herself  

and get a fresh supply of air. Although this  situation is reminiscent of "Buried," "Oxygen"  

is a unique sci-fi movie. It takes place  almost entirely inside a cryogenic chamber,  

but thanks to inventive direction and convincing  acting, it remains tense and exciting.

"Oxygen" is an example of how sci-fi, while  having a fascinating scientific component,  

shows how technology may  affect our lives in the future.

The plot of the movie, as Liz tries to survive in  a medical capsule with a limited supply of oxygen,  

unfolds slowly, but then becomes increasingly  suspenseful as we learn how she found herself  

in this situation. The strong visual effects  and musical accompaniment, as well as the  

horror elements, further convince us of the  professionalism of the team that filmed it.

Overall, "Oxygen" is one of the  best sci-fi movies released by  

Netflix. Its strong conceptual idea  has been beautifully brought to life,  

ensuring a thrilling and satisfying  experience for the viewer.

The Soul (Netflix, QC Media) IMDb: 6.6

This Chinese sci-fi horror thriller is set  in the year 2031. The billionaire owner of  

a biotech company developing a futuristic  cure for cancer is murdered by his son.  

Occult signs were painted on the walls and the  killer performed the ritual. Two years ago,  

the boy's mother ended her life by performing  a ritual as well, believing she would return to  

curse her husband. The murdered man's new wife  is acting strangely, as if possessed, and says  

she sees the dead woman's spirit. And the case,  with the help of the detective's wife, is being  

handled by a prosecutor weakened by illness. Yes,  there's a lot going on here. And that's just the  

synopsis. In addition to murder and the occult,  the movie uses futuristic technology, flashbacks,  

and personality shifts. The movie is complex,  with a huge amount of detail, but fascinating.

The director successfully combines Chinese  tradition, science fiction, love and crime,  

which makes the movie unique. The cast  is solid, especially since such a genre  

requires serious acting. The visual effects,  which embody a futuristic city on the screen,  

are perfectly executed. The CGI, animation  and effects artists did an incredible job.

Boss Level (Hulu) IMDb: 6.8

The movie tells the story of Roy Pulver, a  former Special Forces operative who relives  

the moment of his death every day. Pursued  by assassins who he must constantly fend off,  

he turns to Gemma, a scientist, for help.  She discovers that her boss, Colonel Ventor,  

is planning something extremely dangerous and  secret and may have a clue to Roy's problem.

The movie is beautifully paced and has  an optimal length of an hour and a half,  

it's not boring. Some scenes may even have  been cut to keep the pacing consistent,  

but what is left is more than  enough to keep the viewer intrigued.

The movie is superbly shot, with an extremely  talented cast, and the lead role itself looks  

perfect for Frank Grillo. Another plus  is that the action starts right away,  

which allows the viewer to not be distracted by  a lot of backstory and to always stay interested.  

If you like action, comedy and science fiction  together, this movie is definitely worth seeing!

Blade Runner 2049 (Warner Bros.) IMDb: 8.0

Los Angeles in the year 2049. Most of the  archival records were erased or corrupted  

after the blackout in 2022. Tyrell Corporation  went out of business and replicant production  

was outlawed until the arrival of Niander  Wallace, who creates a new, more compliant  

model. The story centers on K, who hunts for old  Nexus 8 replicants under Police Lieutenant Joshi.

"Blade Runner" is a masterpiece and one of  the most beloved movies by many sci-fi fans.  

The visuals of the sequel are as striking and  praiseworthy as the visuals of the original  

movie. 2049 continues the story in a natural way,  expanding on the themes introduced in the first  

film, and despite the amount of environmental  scenes, is not overly drawn out. The main  

character is compelling and the new concepts don't  break continuity, Blade Runner 2049 manages the  

difficult task of being a successful sequel  to a classic film, creating a self-sustaining  

universe that would still look as good decades  from now as the first part did forty years ago.

Dune (Warner Bros.) IMDb: 8.0

"Frank Herbert's Dune has been adapted twice:  

first by David Lynch in 1984 and then as a  miniseries by John Harrison in 2000. In 2021,  

the sci-fi epic was adapted by Denis Villeneuve  and received six out of ten Oscar nominations.  

The second part of the movie is already in  production and Villeneuve is still directing.

The new movie is easier to take  than previous adaptations. The  

acting and music are impressive,  but most of all the visual effects  

are fascinating. The action sequences  are epic, the staging is impressive,  

and the audience can practically see  themselves alongside the characters.

The story is shrouded in a mystical  atmosphere in which the protagonist,  

Paul Atreides, learns of his destiny as  the "Messiah" promised by the legends,  

the man who will gain great power over  the planet. The setting, costumes,  

characters and intrigue are reminiscent  of both Game of Thrones and Star Wars. 

Add to that Hans Zimmer's score - the  sound design is impeccable. Overall,  

the movie is an excellent piece of work  and one of the best movies in recent years.

Little Fish (IFC Films) IMDB: 6.9

The movie "Little Fish" is the story of a couple  trying to keep each other intact in a world where  

memory is disappearing. The disease gradually  affects people's memory and is incurable. When  

Emma's husband begins to show symptoms,  she begs him to participate in testing a  

new cure. At the heart of the film is their love  story, pieced together from fragments of memory.

The movie is a simple love story turned tragic  by a virus. It is a slow and depressing journey  

to the inevitable, showing how beautiful  memories, including an unforgettable scene  

with a little fish, are shattered by  harsh reality. The acting is superb,  

the dialogue impeccable, the production superb. It is truly art and cinema at its best.

Moonfall (Lionsgate, AGC International) IMDB: 5.1

In 2011, the astronauts were attacked  by a mysterious black swarm that killed  

one of them and incapacitated the other. A  third astronaut miraculously saved himself  

and his teammate and returned to Earth, but  no one believes his story. Ten years later,  

he is joined by conspiracy theorist Hausman,  who discovers that the moon has left its  

orbit and is moving toward Earth. Thus  begins a strange adventure involving  

conspiracy theories about a hollow moon,  a secret alien base, and everything else.

The movie "Moonfall" is not like typical  movies about saving the world from the  

predictable threat of the moon. It is  full of unexpected and absurd twists  

and turns and could certainly be one  of the strangest blockbusters of 2022.

However, I'll be honest - the dialogues in the  movie are terrible, the talented actors play  

badly. The script is written as if the writers  have never spoken to a living person in their  

lives. Also, the movie is full of logical  holes that make it incredibly ridiculous.

However, it is worth mentioning that the CGI  effects in the movie are worthy of attention.  

And that seems to be what it was made for  - it's a pure popcorn movie, spectacular,  

loud, vivid. Totally pointless? Well, yes.  But its main goal is to immerse the viewer  

in a whirlpool of special effects for a  couple of hours, and it succeeds perfectly.

Eternals (Marvel Studios, Disney+) IMDB: 6.4 "Eternals are immortal creatures whose mission  

is to destroy Deviants. 7000 years ago, 10  Eternals with different abilities were sent  

to Earth. The main action takes place  in present-day London, where one of the  

Eternals faces an attack by the Deviants. She  must bring them all together to face the threat.

"The Eternals" represents Marvel's more  mature approach to its film comics. The  

movie includes social commentary,  explicit scenes, and popular actors. 

It was a risky departure from a tried-and-true  formula for Marvel. And it didn't work. 

The movie is quite long and  the characters lack charisma. 

Ten godlike creatures clumsily try to  pass themselves off as mere humans.

The visual effects are impressive and look  realistic and stylish. The movie is well made,  

but all in all it is the CGI-fest  you would expect from a comic book  

based movie. Disney's big budget made it  possible to create a beautiful picture.

Tron: Legacy (Walt Disney Studios) IMDb: 6.8

Sam Flynn is Kevin's tech-savvy and courageous  son who falls into the Grid while investigating  

his father's disappearance. With  the help of the mysterious Quorra,  

he must stop the digital dictator  Clu from infiltrating the real world.

The movie "Tron: Legacy" is still impressive  today. All the elements, including the visuals,  

the script and the acting, still work beautifully.  Especially noteworthy is the soundtrack,  

which hasn't aged a bit after thirteen  years. Another advantage of the movie is  

its excellent musical composition. It  complements and beautifies the movie.

"Tron: Legacy" is entertaining enough, but  it is not an action movie, as some viewers  

expect and as the trailer shows. However,  if you are looking for a visual treat,  

this movie is worth seeing. It  stays true to the style of the  

original and can be a special treat for  those who are new to the world of "Tron".
