I can't believe what I just watched.
Calling this a revelation, a masterpiece, a modern sci-fi epic, simply does not do it enough justice. You have to experience the full beauty of this film on the biggest and best screen possible so you can actually witness true greatness come to life right in front of you.
I thought I was going to die 3 times, and I mean that as the biggest compliment. There were sequences here that made me…

Godzilla Minus One should be the standard for what a movie about the now popular Kaiju monster should be. We've been inundated with mediocrity for a whole decade and were made to believe that the Hollywood adaptations are now the new norm for what to expect.

Brothers is a film that I've been putting off watching for a while now.

Definitely has its moments, specially when we reach the final 30mins and the practical/visual effects start ramping up, delving more into the supernatural and brutal, but I can't help but think that this would've been better as a short, maybe something around the length of last year's Chime.
I never got to watch this before the Oscars, it was never released here in the UAE. But I finally got around to watching it now.
I don't really know what to write tbh. I usually write reviews after watching a movie because it's fun, I enjoy logging them and giving my two cents. I genuinely don't know what to write here. This is probably going to be a bit more of a personal review.
While watching this, I thought…
