    Star Trek Beyond

    ★★★½

    Despite never being much of a Star Trek fan growing up, I enjoyed Star Trek Beyond thoroughly. However, the cause for my enjoyment of the film actually doubles as my biggest criticism: Star Trek Beyond feels very familiar. It’s tone, pacing, and even the general outline of the plot seem to mirror that of its 2013 predecessor, Star Trek Into Darkness.

    Ex Machina

    ★★★★½

    I missed out on seeing Ex Machina in theaters (big mistake!), but this weekend I finally got around to renting the blu-ray and I'm very glad that I did. Written and directed by Alex Garland, this film masterfully combines elements of sci-fi and drama, creating a fresh new take on artifical intelligence that is equally as focused on the humans as it is on the computers.
