    A Quiet Place: Day One

    ★★½

    The two main characters remain rather flat. Unlike in the main series, where the dynamics and emotional connection between the family members take center stage, A Quiet Place: Day One fails to establish a believable relationship between its main characters. Unlike in the main series, real tension just doesn’t build here, even though the film could hardly be more action-packed.

    Top Gun: Maverick

    ★★★½

    Story-wise, it follows the blueprint of the first Top Gun almost exactly. Some shots are nearly identical to those in the original. It also serves as great advertising for the U.S. military. Just like in the first film, the “enemy” remains an entirely anonymous evil (but of course a non NATO-Country). Nothing is known about the opposing side, making the whole conflict feel more like a military simulation. If the audience learned more about the other side, I think it…

    The Wild Robot

    ★★★★½

    A beautiful movie about love, parenthood, nature, friendship, kindness, loss, and growing up. I’m really into DreamWorks' new animation style. Definitely one of the most beautifully animated movies I’ve ever seen.

  • The Raid 2

    The Raid 2

    ★★★★

    Everything The Raid already did, but on a bigger scale in every way:
    Longer
    More plot
    More depth
    More locations
    More characters
    Even crazier fight choreography

    For my taste, with 150 min it ended up being a bit too long.
