In the last few years dinosaurs have found it increasingly difficult to survive in the modern day environment. Most of those still with us exist in parts of the world close to the equator. Areas that are now highly restricted. But when it's discovered that the DNA of some species could hold the key to some serious medical advancements, a pharmaceutical executive hires a team of mercenaries to retrieve the necessary samples. This involves travelling to a remote island that was once home to an InGen facility responsible for developing some of their hybrid species. I'm not going to lie, when I first heard they were developing yet another Jurassic World  movie, my initial reaction may not have been all that positive. Which is probably not a surprise given the general reaction to Jurassic World: Dominion . However, it seems this dino franchise still has a few surprises left up its sleeve. Rebirth  may not be able to raise things back to Jurassic Park  levels, but it's def...

After the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Japanese looked to eliminate America's aircraft carriers in order to cripple their fleet. The plan was to attack the US base on Midway Island, drawing the US carriers into a trap. It is the battle that saw the beginning of a massive shift in naval power in the Pacific. Roland Emmerich's re-telling of the Battle of Midway isn't quite as epic as you'd expect it to be. But on the bright side it is better than "Pearl Harbor" - the Michael Bay movie, not the battle - not that that's a major accomplishment. Known for his epic disaster movies - Independence Day, The Day After Tomorrow - Emmerich favours a slow build, allowing his audience to get to know the characters as he gradually positions them for the main event. With Midway, it's a brief history of the early days of the war in the Pacific. However, at times this can feel vague, like the movie is skipping over major details and lacking in context, leavin...

The Battle of Midway was one of the pivotal battles in the Pacific Theatre, during World War 2. In his first project since Independence Day: Resurgence, Roland Emmerich will tell the story of the men who fought on both sides - although he won't be the first. The teaser trailer is here (check it out below), here's what we thought.  This is a World War 2 movie on the scale of Independence Day, "epic" would be the word I'd use to describe it. I mean, does Roland Emmerich do anything small when it comes to making movies? It's definitely a style he has made work before, and it certainly seems appropriate for telling a story like this. Especially when he appears to be incorporating the attack on Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle Raid into the story - both were factors in the Imperial Japanese Navy's decision to attack Midway. But I can't help wondering if he's bitten off more than he can chew. Midway will likely have a three hour-ish runti...

Deadpool has arrived! After a very long wait and a very intense marketing campaign he is here and he has not disappointed! Normally I would write an opening paragraph to introduce the movie, show you the poster and get on with telling you what I thought but it all seems pointless. You know exactly what I'm going to say...it was awesome, in fact I've seen it twice inside a week! The movie has already broken records: Highest grossing February release Highest grossing 'R' rated comic book movie Biggest 'R' rated opening weekend Biggest opening weekend for Twentieth Century Fox Biggest opening of any previous X-Men movie And it's on its way to becoming the highest grossing 'R' rated movie of all time. I know I've said it before; just because a movie makes lots of money doesn't mean it's a good movie but Deadpool really is! Tim Miller delivers a very funny movie with a good story, great actors who give great performances and con...
