Why watch this film?
From the same director of 'Top Gun: Maverick', Joseph Kosinski, this movie is quite different from the Tom Cruise-led blockbuster. 'Spiderhead' is based on the short story 'Escape From Spiderhead', by George Saunders and originally published in The New Yorker, and features an experiment involving intoxicants and the prison system. Its central concept isn't too far from our reality when we stop to think about how many chemicals we ingest daily - and we're not talking about drugs. This production navigates between science fiction, thriller, and dark comedy genres, managing to be perversely funny. Shot during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, 'Spiderhead' has few actors: the cast is composed of Miles Teller, Chris Hemsworth, Jurnee Smollett and Charles Parnell, relying more on dialogue than action, but it is well-filmed and much smarter than it appears. It's also a great opportunity to see Hemsworth expanding his acting potential beyond action heroes.

Tron: Legacy
The sequel to the classic 1980s movie takes CGI to the next level, creating a totally believable cyber reality and rejuvenating Jeff Bridges through computer graphics. The sound editing is also an attraction, even earning an Academy Award nomination. However, the story itself has its flaws with a weak script and lack of substance, making "Tron: Legacy" just a fun virtual ride - albeit with the backing of Daft Punk.

Top Gun: Maverick
"Top Gun: Maverick" is a representation of a Hollywood era, in which producers like Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson perfected the blockbuster formula and explored the feeling of victory that Americans had in relation to the (soon to be ended) Cold War. The film, with its personification of love between men - not necessarily in a physical sense - marked a generation, which reunites with Tom Cruise in this eagerly awaited sequel. Director Joseph Kosinski ("Tron: Legacy") manages to remarkably revive the work of the late filmmaker Tony Scott, bringing much of the original's aesthetics and atmosphere, but adapting the language for a new phase of commercial cinema. The result is a dynamic film, with sensational aerial battle scenes (largely done with the actors themselves in jets, without doubles) and a rounded script, which evolves and expands the story of the original characters, while introducing others. In addition, it adds elements from other current franchises, such as "Fast & Furious" and "Mission: Impossible", as well as adding a "Star Wars" quest. The result is a production that manages to make everyone happy: fans of the past will love the nostalgia, while those who didn't like the "Top Gun" fever can find a fun movie that pleases and works very well alone. Perfect formula for success, in addition to showing that the almost sixty-year-old Tom Cruise is still a star in full form for any mission in action movies - whether they are impossible or in the measure for indomitable aces.

The Animal Kingdom
The Animal Kingdom is an ambitious French film that blends magical realism with our recent pandemic traumas to propose an intriguing story about intolerance and otherness. The story is set in France, in a world where an unexplained wave of mutations is turning humans into animals. To care for his mutated mother, a boy (Paul Kircher) moves with his father (Romain Duris) to a village in a wooded region of France, but as he begins to adjust to his new life, he starts turning into an animal himself. The film presents rich dichotomies (the natural world vs. civilization, normativity vs. divergence, repression vs. freedom) and features well-crafted visual effects that suggest perhaps it is those who hate, oppress, and try to control nature who are the most beastly and irrational.

Conquest of the Planet of the Apes
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes is the fourth installment of the saga in its original continuity. Set in the (then) near future of the 1990s, the film portrays a society in which apes have been enslaved by humanity, until one more evolved than the rest instigates a revolution that represents the fall of the human race. In addition to closing the line of events leading to the story of the original, this film also shares several narrative elements with what would be its reboot: here we meet Caesar, played by Roddy McDowall, and later by Andy Serkis in the new movies.

Ultraman: Rising
Ultraman: Rising is a charming Netflix animation that puts the traditional Japanese character in the perspective of children. In the story, Ken Sato, a baseball superstar, returns to Japan to become the newest hero to take on the mantle of Ultraman. His plans go awry, however, when he is forced to raise a newborn kaiju monster, the offspring of his greatest enemy, as his own child. Sato will also have to deal with his relationship with his estranged father and the schemes of the Kaiju Defense Force. A film for the little ones, but one that also finds space to awaken the child within each of us.
