Incarnate - Amazing possession movie.. Nothing new but very well executed.. Reminded me of Matrix, Inception, The Cell, Insidious and few more...(i know... Wtf!). Still unique in it's own way.

Oblivion (2013) - 8/10
I thought it to be a low budget Sci-Fi movie but I was wrong it has one of the best Sci-Fi cinematography and awesome visuals.
though a little weak in the middle but ending is great

Rogue One - A Star War Story ...... THIS ... my friends THIS IS EXACTLY what Star Wars : The Force Awakens should have been. First I admit I love star wars, and I enjoyed Episode I,II and III as much I enjoyed IV (Original Star wars), V and VI and I was so highly looking forward to Episode VII. Before I go ahead let me share the review I wrote for the force Awakens as well .....Do read it first just below this review...

Now this movie even though not falling into the straight hierarchy of the original SW Time Line, still managed to capture the essence of it, it had everything Episode VII didn't. It had the actual seriousness, oodles with tension and surprisingly, even though all the characters introduced were new and had nothing directly to do with the Original SW timeline, the director/writers still managed to bring that character depth and I actually cared for everyone, (unlike EP VII).
The movie has a much darker appeal, is much mush more gritty than EP VII and as I said characters are well laid out.
Add to that impeccable CGI that actually felt a part of the universe and not just something coz it's a SW movie. The sets are GRAND and felt so so real ... like ... out there, very much like the TV series (EXPANSE). Then finally not to forget, the ACTION ..oh Boy!.....The movie has everything.Ground battle, urban combat, space engages, close quarter fighting; you name it and every encounter felt gritty, tense and gruesome. ..... I never expected a nonlinear, star war movie could, in fact, be better than the original SW, kudos to the director "Gareth Edwards" and the writers ..... I am actually excited to look forward to this franchise as much I look forward to the original one /...... 7.5/10 for this one. A rating that is very rare for me to give to any movie let alone a sci-fi movie


And oh I forgot the sound .... Home Theater BLISS ...just rocks your SUB and the entire, sound staging of the movie is pure bliss, which also indefinitely adds to the super satisfaction you get at the end.


Below is the review for Star Wars : Episode VII


Star Wars: The Force Awakens .... well well well ... finally went to see he most awaited movie on 2015. Star Wars - The Force Awakens. My take might not be appreciated by many. There is no simple way to put this so let me be straight, to begin with. this movie for ma falls so flat and boring in comparison to the Prequel Trilogy created by George Lucas. I am so so sooo surprised that the trilogy ranked and is appreciated less than this flat attempt created by J.J. As a stand alone movie, well I might say it was ok, not bad, BUT as a star wars franchise, this falls so so flat and dull and uninteresting. There is no seriousness no tension in any of the situations created, no character depth. I hardly cared for any, except for Hans Solo, that too because of the history associated with him with the original star wars. Basically, there was no star war FEEL to it.

The world 3 prequels created was far far better and in tune with the original 2, which is not surprising as it was created by the father himself George Lucas. This movie was for kids and teen at the best, thanks to Disney I guess. Adults who have followed the original star wars and the prequels can and will not like it, I am sure about this. Heck the true SW fans were even critical to the prequels, but Fore Awakens ...man....has made the prequels start tall and classic.


Another aspect very inherent, to star war universe was the underlying spirituality and the metaphysical forces at play, however, in this version, the characters seem to ceaselessly keep running from things and having meaningless, often silly conversation. There is no exploring of the depths of some of the more intriguing concepts of SW like the supernatural philosophy, spirituality. This fact, however, is not surprising as the masses seem to be entertained predominantly by action (that too un-innovative), comedy, flashing lights, and explosions, not exploring the psychological latitudes of light and dark, good and evil within the human soul.

Disappointing truely .... 6/10 for this one.

Just by the title & imdb review I say stay away from this movie.It is never a good idea to pit one monster franchise against another(Alien vs Predator comes to mind) whether in Hollywood or Asian movies.
