This is a sci fi horror hybrid, a soil sample from mars is sent back from mars to the International Space station and the crew opened it and they find in the soil a single cell organism. They are delighted because this is proof of life on mars, and it starts growing and everyone is very excited, and then it becomes dormant. They decide against the advice of the entire audience to give the organism and Electric Shock and see what that does, this is a clip. Laughter ready. Lowering oxygen. More carbon dioxide. You sure it wont hurt it . Its a very very low voltage. Look how fast its growing. Every single cell is a muscle cell and a nerve cell. All muscle. One brain. Screams its in between my fingers. Lets not let it go. Can i make a suggestion, can ijust go in there and get him . No, youre not going to go in there. Of course youre not. Because the main thing is quarantine. I can do this, i can. I can do this. Help me, help me somebody help me whats going on . you get the general idea. I was laughing before, but not now. You get the general idea. I was laughing before, but not nowm you get the general idea. I was laughing before, but not now. It has a great cast. Rebecca ferguson. Jake gyllenhaal. The organism picks them off one by one and becomes bigger and more agile. It starts out like gravity and then it turns into alien and then it is like life force and thenit and then it is like life force and then it goes a bit Event Horizon before going back to being alien and then turning back into gravity with a bit of planet of the apes. It doesnt have any originality in it at all, there is not one single idea thatis at all, there is not one single idea that is original, but what it does, it tells a story that you know, but it tells a story that you know, but it tells a story that you know, but it tells it with a degree of wit and vim. It is 104 minutes long and it feels like 85 and it zips along and it looks terrific. The way the film looks is very impressive, and all the characters are best described as thumbnail sketches, you could go, hes a scientist, hes the one with the kids, and then it does exactly what you would expect, and it is interesting. When you look back at alien, it was drawing on a series of other Horror Movies but with a sudden twist in terms of the design of the alien and the direction from ridley scott, but there is nothing here that you havent seen before. Is the thing, i thought this was meant to be a horror film is the thing, i thought this was meant to be a horrorfilm or sci fi, andi meant to be a horrorfilm or sci fi, and i have noticed a smile playing on your lips for the entire description of this film. There are things in this which are creepy and a bit yucky, and i enjoyed it because i like sci fi. But you are not a horror fan. Because i like sci fi. But you are not a horrorfan. This is tension, rather than glory tom and alien, there is a famous moment in that which is a lot more revolting than this. Yes, 0k. Which is a lot more revolting than this. Yes, ok. But largely when we saw that in alien for the first time no one had ever seen that done before. It is fun and disposable, popcorn movie, and i enjoyed it, but there is not a single original thought in its head. Which brings us to. Power rangers, do they still exist . Who knew . You have got The 70s And 80s tv franchises, so you reboot it for the big screen with a 12 certificate and a lot of cgi. The Power Rangers tv syriza was cutting japanese footage with new american footage, and now what you have is that rebooted in what is basically the Breakfast Club as superhero movie. With the collection of young kids who are going to become the Power Rangers, the film addresses some issues, albeit in a very flimsy fashion, but that is the modern bit. It has a 12 a certificate which has caused great annoyance because much of the Target Audience for the Power Rangers is people younger than 12 and they have always said that wealth means 12 and the bottom ages eight and ive already had messages from people who say, ive got a four year old, can i take them to see this . Well, no. Its a strange film, it has a certain degree of post transformers crudity, film, it has a certain degree of post tra nsformers crudity, and film, it has a certain degree of post transformers crudity, and a certain amount of violence because it is mighty morphing Power Rangers and they hit people. It is less leering than transformers and less fun than real steel and it is too long and nonsense and it makes no sense, but it wasnt terrible. It was just kind of, sense, but it wasnt terrible. It wasjust kind of, 0k, sense, but it wasnt terrible. It wasjust kind of, ok, thats what mighty morphing Power Rangers looks like if it gets up on the big screen and do that to it. It is totally innocuous and surprisingly unremarkable. I love it when you tell me something which can go on a poster, this week, it is, its not terrible. Its not great either. The lost city of z, this is the next film. Yes, true story, british explorer, percy fawcett, early 20th century explorations of the amazon, Charlie Hunnam is percy fawcett, and he wants to make his family name good and hes told if he goes on this first mission, that will indeed restore his great family name. The more he explores, the more you discover that this is is calling on what he wants to do with his life, but where he is travelling to is dangerous and also surprising. This is a clip. Mr manley, get your concertina. My concertina, sir. Yes, do it now play soldiers of the queen. Come along come and sing with me. Are you ready . And. Were soldiers of the queen, my lads whove been my lads in the fight for englands glory, lads the englands soldiers of the queen. Amigos. Does that help them, the singing . Yes, it does, there are moments which are very strange. Robin pandas and is in this and he is terrific, and is in this and he is terrific, and the film is directed by james gray and it is beautifully direct that robert pattinson. It is our fleet in its core, it is strangely elliptical, and they are individual moments which are very striking, there are moments when they come across a musical being mounted in the jungle which reminds me ofa mounted in the jungle which reminds me of a one herzog film, and there are bits which reminds me of conrad and coppola. What i like about click like about it, it is five days since ive seen it and it has lingered in my mind, they are images which are very beautiful and arresting. Terrific performance on sienna miller, as his wife, a tha nkless sienna miller, as his wife, a thankless role, but she make something of it. The toughest character on screen. And although It Isa Character on screen. And although it is a flawed film, it aims high and i would rather see something aim high and fail in certain areas then something which is franchise fodder, and it didnt feel like that at all, it is strangely old fashioned. There are moments, there is a Dream Sequence are moments, there is a Dream Sequence which is reminiscent of the end of 2001 which is not something you would expect from a film like this, and so it is a very unusual and flawed, but very interesting. The best ad . Get out, you have got to see this. The best out. If you think of the writings of irony than who wrote rosemary s baby ira levin. The smiles of the families hide something very creepy, it is a satire on a post racial, liberal america, it has great depth and is sharp and scary when it needs to be. I know you are not a horror film fan, but it is a thriller. It is not a horrorfilm, fan, but it is a thriller. It is not a horror film, although fan, but it is a thriller. It is not a horrorfilm, although it is, but it isa a horrorfilm, although it is, but it is a thriller, you will enjoy it. If you want to stay in, we have a united kingdom. I love this. We have the heir to the throne of botswana planned and his relationship with a White British woman. Like all of her films it takes the personal and political and it takes them and that is then together which is understandable and enjoyable and telling an important story. Thanks very much, mark.
