    ★★★★★

    I don’t think I can say it’s just recency bias anymore. I absolutely love this film. It’s phenomenal.
    I previously had a little issue with the pacing of the first two acts, but on this watch, that didn’t seem to be the case. In fact, I don’t think I can point out any issues I have with the film. I guess other than that I would have loved if the already incredible battle in the third act was ~10 minutes longer.…

    ★★½

    Is it as abysmal as many reviews would lead you to believe? No. Is it anything amazing, special, or great? No, not that either. The Electric State has enjoyable moments from enjoyable stars. The CGI is surprisingly good. The plot has interesting elements, but ultimately feels like a blend of handful of better movies. The script, the dialogue- not good. Just about everything that comes out of a character’s mouth feels predictable and generic. The story often feels like that…

    I liked it, but I was hoping for more.
    The way certain reveals are played out didn’t work very well, and I think there needed to be a little more intrigue at times. Overall I still really enjoyed it, and it had my attention.
    I hope we keep getting more movies like this. We need to bring the mid-budget action/thriller back, and have it alive and well. While this wasn’t an amazing one, it was pretty good.

    Good stuff. Feels a little at arms length for some reason, but still a really good thriller

    Heretic

    ★★★★

    A great, solid horror/thriller. It tackles ideas about religion, but does it a mostly inoffensive way, unlike most religious horror - in that way it’s similar to Frailty.
    I am a proud Christian, and the two main girls are Mormon, but there are many similarities. There are some things the film did or said that I didn’t like, but overall it was dealt with well. The villain is the one constantly denying and challenging ideas of God, religion, and faith.…
