Why watch this film?
In Brazil, it's not just independent dramas and besteirol comedies. In the midst of our rich national production, we also find what are known as "genre films", such as action, adventure and, of course, science fiction. "Yesterday There Were Strange Things in the Sky," a provocative and disturbing film by first-time feature filmmaker Bruno Risas, follows this genre so well-known because of "Star Wars," "Star Trek" and other great franchises. Following in the footsteps of the great "The Stone of the Serpent" and the horror cinema of Marco Dutra and Juliana Rojas (from "Good Manners"), this new feature film takes advantage of an extraterrestrial abduction to discuss all too human themes, such as loneliness, family roles and the invisibility of the poorest. It is a delicate film, sometimes experimental, which knows how to reach its dramatic goals through an unusual path in Brazilian cinema. To be seen, felt and reflected upon, without prejudice or pre-established ideas.

Dredd
In the future, America is a dystopian wasteland. The latest scourge is Ma-Ma, a prostitute-turned-drug pusher with a dangerous new drug and aims to take over the city. The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
It was said about the first installment, and it can be said about Netflix's Rebel Moon (Part Two): it is a movie that only Zack Snyder fans will enjoy. The film continues to be a copy of the classic 'Seven Samurai', but in space: our heroes, led by Kora (Sofia Boutella), return to their small agricultural moon to prepare the defense against the invaders from the Empire. The story unfolds in a predictable manner (even more so if you've seen Kurosawa's classic), with Snyder's usual stylistic vices: overuse of slow motion and gratuitous Christian symbolism. If you liked the previous one (or the director's other movies), you will undoubtedly enjoy it. Otherwise, it might be better to skip it.
