Really, really liked this one. Super intense, super stylish, and when it goes through the sort of turn about halfway through, it really starts cranking up the tension until the very end of the movie. I might say that the pacing felt a little slow early on, and I think I would have liked them touching a little more on Ellie's "gift" and what it means, but I absolutely loved the movie regardless.

Dune 2021
Really enjoyed it, felt surprisingly well-paced even with how long it was. Casting was great, acting was great, and it was in general a really, really pretty film.

Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings 2021
Solid movie with good acting all around. Really liked that they focused so much on family, and not just good guy vs. bad guy. I'm also glad that Katy wasn't just a dopey American sidekick, and actually more of Shang-Chi's partner (without being a love interest, which is rare for movies in general).
While I think they were right to basically rewrite everything around the Mandarin and the ten rings from the comics, I do wish they'd done something interesting…

Prometheus 2012
I'm not really a fan of the Alien movies, but I liked this decently enough. Some great visuals, good tension, and a fantastic performance from Fassbender. There were some odd plot points that just never got resolved (what was the deal with Holloway and the mysterious sickness that only affected him?), and I wish they would have expanded more on the Engineers and their reasoning, but overall, it was not bad.
