Why watch this film?
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.

Godzilla vs. Kong
Since their debut in the cinema in 1933 and 1954, respectively, Godzilla and King Kong have been two of the most popular movie monsters in history (who actually faced off in the original Japanese film 'King Kong vs. Godzilla' in 1962). Following the American reinterpretations of the great Kaiju in 'Godzilla' (2014) and 'Godzilla II: King of the Monsters', 'Godzilla vs. Kong' is the culmination of the promise of the so-called "MonsterVerse", the Warner Bros. and Legendary monster franchise that also includes 'Kong: Skull Island'. And like the aforementioned installments, this movie has the same pros and cons: truly spectacular titanic duels, at the cost of characters so poorly developed they almost seem like parodies, performed by a highly wasted cast that includes Alexander Skarsgård ('Big Little Lies'), Millie Bobby Brown ('Enola Holmes'), Rebecca Hall ('Christine'), Kyle Chandler ('Carol'), Julian Dennison ('Deadpool 2') and Mexicans Eiza González ('I Care') and Demián Bichir ('The Hateful Eight').
Sci-Fi & Fantasy
Megalopolis
An architect wants to rebuild New York City as a utopia following a devastating disaster.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
As the world falls, young Furiosa is snatched from the Green Place of Many Mothers into the hands of a great biker horde led by the warlord Dementus. Sweeping through the wasteland, they encounter the citadel presided over by Immortan Joe. The two tyrants wage war for dominance, and Furiosa must survive many trials as she puts together the means to find her way home.
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.
