The
Last Airbender (DVD - PG) –
what’s it about? Aang wakes up after 100 years of being trapped in the ice and
has to take on the role of Avatar, and battle against the Fire Nation with the
help of his friends.
I recently re-watched the
Avatar: The Last Airbender series and thought to myself I’ll give this film
another go to pass the time as I hadn’t seen it since it was first released,
and I forgot how bad it was. If you haven’t seen the TV series then I don’t think
you would quite get everything that is going on. I get they had to cut loads
compared to the series, as that was way longer but yeah it doesn’t work with
what had to be cut - it was way too rushed so it doesn’t have any connection
and emotion behind it. If you haven’t seen this and have recently discovered/re-discovered
the series, then I’d do yourself a favour and skip this.

Extinction
(Netflix) – what’s it
about? A father is plagued by nightmares of an attack on earth, and he must protect his family at all costs.
I thought I’d give this a
go, I wasn’t sure how good it would be, with it being a Netflix movie, but I was
pleasantly surprised. I can’t really say too much without spoiling this one
though, but it is a good sci-fi survival - I suppose I could call it that? I
was very engrossed with this one, if you like a good sci-fi movie and don’t
care that it isn’t super high-budget (though this is way better than some of the
straight to DVD films I’ve seen), then this is definitely worth looking into. I
think I actually want to give this 3 1/2 stars.
