Why watch this film?
If we take classic giant monster movies like Godzilla or King Kong and filter them through Nordic folklore, the result would be something like 'Troll', from Netflix. Directed by Roar Uthaug ('The Wave'), this Norwegian film offers a fairly simple premise: a giant monster emerges from the mountains and destroys everything in its path, so humanity must now face the problem of figuring out what the creature is and putting an end to it... before it ends everything. A well-conceived monster and disaster movie that, although it won't change the course of this type of production, will satisfy fans looking for something different.

Tomb Raider
A new adaptation of the famous game series starring Lara Croft. This time, the franchise bets on a young and inexperienced Lara, played by Oscar-winning Alicia Vikander ("The Danish Girl"), also following the line of the more recent games. This adds a new layer to the heroine, who is still becoming the explorer we all know and is discovering the truth about her past. The result is a movie that elevates Alicia's great performance and with good action scenes, almost like a "survival film" - but lacks a good story to support it all.

The Wave
Disaster movies are known for their reputation of prioritizing visual spectacle over all narrative logic (one need look no further than Dwayne Johnson's 'San Andreas' Fault), suggesting that the genre has little else to offer. In this sense, 'Bølgen' is a pleasant surprise from Norway that breaks this rule, to the point of making Hollywood productions seem inept by comparison. The film has a solid character development from the script, which does not diminish the visual spectacle in any way, but adds even more narrative tension. If you're looking for casual entertainment that doesn't underestimate its audience, this is a proposal you'll love.

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.
