The Midnight Sky is another example of something that could’ve been a complex and emotionally affecting work of science-fiction, but quickly collapses.

Regardless of its exhilarating action sequences and strong performances, The Aeronauts is a good film but not necessarily a great one.
In The Aeronauts, a pilot and a scientist find themselves in an epic fight for survival while attempting to make discoveries in a hot air balloon.
On the Basis of Sex is not likely to plant the seed of determination in the next RBG, as they don’t need pop feminist representations of even the most laudable of figures.
On The Basis of Sex tells the story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, her struggles for equal rights and what she had to overcome in order to become a U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
Collide is a film that has talent in front of the camera, but they’re wasted through strings of mindless action and laughably poor dialogue.
Despite initial scepticism, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story is a vividly presented and brilliantly executed standalone Star Wars film.
A Monster Calls is an entertaining and beautifully presented fantasy, which also imbues deeper universal themes of grief and loss.
Oscar winners Tom Hanks and Ron Howard reunite in their third collaboration on a Dan Brown adaptation, Inferno. Small wonder. The Da Vinci Code grossed better than $750 million worldwide, and its sequel, Angels & Demons, based on a lesser known novel that marked the first appearance of globe-trotting symbologist Robert Langdon, pulled in close to $500 million.
The Theory of Everything is the story of Stephen Hawking, reflecting his life from his early 20’s until decades later after he had become a world icon. It is at times overly romanticized, and tends to overlook certain elements of Hawking’s disease in order to instead focus on the obvious triumphs of his life. It is still a worthy film, though, and this is mostly due to Eddie Redmayne’s fantastic performance.
