Movie: Mission Impossible: Fallout (12A), The Meg (12A), Ant-Man & The Wasp (12A) & The Darkest Minds (12A)

Mission Impossible: Fallout (12A) – what’s it about? A group of terrorists plan to release three nuclear bombs and the IMF and CIA have to stop them!

I wasn’t too sure how good this would be, in the advert it looked pretty cool and filled with action but by now I was thinking is this going to be a little weak, is it going to be wearing thin as how many times can they do the same thing over and over. In truth though I was pretty surprised with it, the writing and plot quality has definitely been kept up over the years and as expected the quality of acting continues to help immerse the viewer into continual plot which has spanned the franchise. If you would like a good lot of high end action then this one won’t disappoint, you can leave your brain at the door and sit back and enjoy 😊

Rating: ****



The Meg (12A) – what’s it about?  A massive prehistoric shark attacks and a team of marine biologists try to stop it.

This movie kind of exactly what you expect where it’s a Jason Statham movie, its filled with action and unbelievableness where you can leave you brain at the door and just watch – come on its Jason vs a giant Shark lol there’s nothing serious about that really. Though not as adult orientated as some of his other films, this one is only a 12A which kind of sucks as it has the potential to be a good violent 15 but oh well the movie makers decided to tone it down. Anyway, it’s a good monster action movie and worth seeing if you like a good old Jason Statham style movie.

Rating: ****



Ant-Man & The Wasp (12A) – what’s it about? Ant-man tries to bring back a missing scientist who has been trapped in the Quantum Realm whilst trying to stop the Ghost from her destructive ways.

It’s the sequel to Ant-Man if you hadn’t guest which takes place after Civil War where he’s under house arrest. It’s an ok movie, it has its moments and has a good bit of action, some story and humour which is what you expect from all Marvel movies.  It’s a good dose of superhero action, though sadly I did come away a little meh as it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be, though it’s still enjoyable and worth a watch if you’re into your comicbookness.

Rating: ***



The Darkest Minds (12A) – what’s it about? Most of the world’s children have been wiped out by a disease, those who survived have special abilities which manifest in different ways.

It’s kind of similar to Jumper and Push but with a bit of a Divergent vibe and the like with teens having superpowers and the whatnot. It’s all basically about kids being put into camps and them trying to escape the authorities, so you kind of get the drill. It’s got some action in it and some story and the characters aren’t annoying brats so that definitely has something going for it.  Though you can see a sequel coming a mile off, but I’m not saying that that’s a bad thing, it was definitely a good film to watch and is worth seeing if you’re into some of the other movies that follow the same train of thought.

Rating: ****
