Hereditary

A24 seem to specialize in making horror movies that people have quite adverse and polarized reactions to. The Witch, It Comes at Night and most recently Hereditary have also been praised by critics, but left a sizeable number of audience members bored to the core. It’s perhaps because the respective film’s trailers didn’t promise the scare a minute fest that people were expecting, hence the word of mouth for all films involved took a dramatically decline following the first week of release (I have one major issue with the trailer for Hereditary but it’s not that it promised a vastly different film).

15:17 to Paris

Back in 2015, three Americans, one Brit, and two French nationals successfully subdued a terrorist before anyone was killed. These few minutes in which the attack took place cemented themselves as heroes. The attack last only a few minutes, and whilst the subject is an honourable one, it seems strange that a whole feature film would be dedicated to this short event. 

Jurassic World 2

When the island's dormant volcano begins roaring to life, Owen (Chris Pratt) and Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard mount a campaign to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from this extinction-level event.

Solo

Solo tells the backstory of the rebel, maverick pilot Han Solo, epitomised as the great swashbuckling hero of the Star Wars Franchise. On the planet of Corellia both Solo (Alden Ehrenreich and Qi’ra (Emilia Clarke) are on the run. However, in a bid to escape the pair are separated and Qi’ra is captured. Solo vows to return to recuse her from her captors, but first he must find his own ship by any means possible.

Deadpool 2

When a visit to an orphanage lands both Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) and antsy mutant teenager Russell Collins (Julian Dennison) in a mutant jail, things look as though they could not get any worse. However, the arrival of a time traveling mutant (Josh Brolin) looking to kill Deadpool’s child cellmate (who commits a deadly act in the future) may just be the chance that reunites Deadpool with his wife.

Revenge

Jen (Matilda Lutz) is having an affair with a handsome married man named Richard (Kevin Janssens). She cares very little about the fact that he married and is simply looking for a good time. This wish is shattered when two of Kevin’s hunting buddies arrive unexpectedly. They dance and drink the night away, and in the morning, when Kevin is away, one of the two men rapes Jen after having his advances rejected. Instead of comforting her attacker, Richard implores Jen to keep quiet but when she refuses he leaves her for dead. However, from sheer strength of will, Jen survives and goes looking for revenge. 

The Avengers: Infinity War

Over 10 years of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been leading to this precise moment. The first part of The Avengers: Infinity War clearly marks the biggest movie of Marvel’s Universe, and its grand scale, infinite characters and multiple locations didn’t disappoint. This film is important, so I will reveal little except for the superheroes of the MCU team up to stop Thanos (James Brolin) wiping out half the universe.
