Trailer
Why watch this film?
Interesting Russian action movie, which completely strays from other nonsense that Russia has been trying to do in genre cinema - like the terrible 'The Guardians' and 'The Bride'. Here, we follow an atypical end of the world. No aliens, natural disasters or the like. What happens here is that all forms of communication in the world are cut off and, in this way, all society seems to regress to a Middle Age or something like that. From there, in a kind of 'Prometheus' Russian, we follow the journey of humanity in search of solutions. Even though the ending is shameful, the execution is interesting and shows that Russia, in some way, is getting interesting results in cinema. The future, without a doubt, is promising for the distant European country.

Plot summary
No meteorites hit Earth, no terrorists put the world in danger, no atomic war was started, but something went wrong. Contact between most towns on Earth has been severed. A small ring-like area in Eastern Europe still has electricity, and maybe even life is being reported from the Space. There are dead corpses everywhere: in stores, in cars, on roads, in hospitals and railway stations. Who or what is destroying all life on Earth? How long will the last outpost of mankind survive?

Resurrected
A curious and ambitious blend of horror and dystopian science fiction that intertwines technological concepts like the metaverse's virtual reality with religious ideas of resurrection and faith. Resurrected is set in a future where the Vatican has made public knowledge of a method to resurrect people. However, a young priest, whose son was resurrected after an accident, discovers a sinister conspiracy behind it all. The plot has some rather complicated rules, and its construction around computer and mobile screens (similar to films like Searching and Host) makes it different from conventional movies, but due to the ambition of its premise, it deserves an opportunity.
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
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.
Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
The MonsterVerse has successfully brought to the screen the battles of the two most iconic giant monsters in cinema, King Kong and Godzilla, the latter in its American reinterpretation. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire is a new chapter in the franchise, although, truth be told, it doesn't bring much new. The duo are now allies in a fight for the fate not only of the Earth's surface but also of the world of the "hollow earth," where the titans come from. Don't expect here the deep anti-war allegory of Godzilla Minus One, the far superior Japanese film released just a few months prior. Here it's about seeing giant monsters smack each other in the face, like an hour of wrestlers aboard monster trucks. If that's what you're looking for, it's the movie for you. If you prefer some more humanity in your films, it's better to pass.
Code 8: Part II
Code 8 was an unexpectedly successful film, putting Robbie (from the series Upload) and Stephen Amell (Arrow) back on the map and captivating audiences with a compelling science fiction story. Now, the saga returns with an intense plot: after witnessing her brother's murder and the subsequent cover-up, a teenage girl with abnormal abilities seeks the help of an ex-convict (Robbie Amell) and his former crime partner (Stephen Amell). Together, they confront a unit of corrupt police officers who use advanced robotic technology to avoid being exposed. A clever and entertaining sequel.
