So this continues on the
story a little while later, it is a proper continuation which is good but it
does follow the same premise as the first, so don’t expect anything too new or
original. It’s like the first - still a high intense thriller which focuses on
the action and some good old fighting and car chases. I can’t really say much
more as I don’t want to spoil it, but yep if you liked the first one and you
want to watch another good action flick where you can leave your brain at the
door then this might be the film you’re looking for.

Sorcerer’s
Apprentice (DVD - PG) – what’s
it about? Turns out Dave is a descendant of Merlin and he must try to stop Morgana
and her gang coming back to the world.
I saw this quite a few
years back and I thought I’d give it a re-watch as I couldn’t really remember
much of it. Yeah it’s an ok film, it has its moments, it’s pretty comical
really and it does have some good stuff to it, but yeah I don’t know it just
seemed to me it was trying a little too hard in some places. It was enjoyable
though don’t get me wrong, it gave me a giggle and it definitely passed the
time, if you like a little bit of magic in your life then this may be worth
looking at, just don’t expect to be wowed.

I
Am Mother (Netflix - 12A) – set in
a dystopian future a girl is born and raised by a robot.
I thought I’d give this a
watch as I hadn’t seen it before and I was starting to get bored of watching
stuff I’d already seen recently. I wasn’t sure what this was going to be like as I had
never heard of it, but I was actually pleasantly surprised by it. It had a good
story, even with having such limited characters it worked, it had believable
graphics and surroundings too (it wasn’t low low budget). Yeah it was nice to
watch a good bit of futuristic sci-fi, that wasn’t over the top and all flashy,
it had enough just to make it a good film, not amazing but a good watch.

Code
8 (Netflix - 15) – a guy who has
super powers turns to a life of crime to save his dying mother.
Again with this one I had
never heard of it before but I thought I would give it a go and see what it was
like. This had enough good graphics to make it good but again
not over the top, again this made it a believable universe - it was good to see
all the powers in general life, rather than being superhero where things
can get a way less realistic fast. The story was good too, it had enough and
kept me watching, and wanting the characters to succeed. Yeah if you like a
little bit of a film with super abilities which is set in a dystopian future
then this might be worth checking out.
