Why watch this film?
There seems to be a curse hovering over Hollywood when studios decide to bring video game adaptations to the big screen. The past formed by titles such as 'Assassin's Creed', 'Mario Bros.' and 'Tomb Raider' shows that these adventures have not been successful, with results below average. 'Warcraft' thankfully escapes this a bit - even though it falls into common mistakes in adaptations of this type. Here, filmmaker Duncan Jones ('Moon', 'Source Code') draws inspiration from 'Lord of the Rings' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia' to try to create a medieval epic that shows a clash between creatures and humans. There is strength, especially in the first half, when this fantasy shows strength and the adapted mythology gains momentum with a script aligned by Jones and Charles Leavitt ('Those Who Wish Me Dead'). It is an above-average video game adaptation, mainly due to the fantasy element that excites. But again: given the quality of the game and the possibilities on the horizon, it could have been a much better movie. The best thing is to forget the original product and embark on the story as if it were an epic born there, from scratch.

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
The rebels gear up for battle against the Motherworld as unbreakable bonds are forged, heroes emerge — and legends are made.
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.
