Trailer
Why watch this film?
"Ghost in the Shell" is an adaptation of the famous manga, which became a classic animation in 1995. The movie uses action, science fiction, and police drama as a metaphor for issues such as the soul and manipulation of people. This American version, directed by Rupert Sanders ("Snow White and the Huntsman"), trades Japanese talent for Hollywood pacing, as well as casting a Western actress in an originally Eastern role. However, Scarlett Johansson's competent performance turns out to be one of the film's great merits.

Snow White and the Huntsman
A dark version of the fairytale that became popularly known with Disney's 1937 animation, 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs', Kristen Stewart, Charlize Theron and Chris Hemsworth are the protagonists of this movie. 'Snow White and the Huntsman' strays away from the safe place these adaptations usually have, showing a more realistic and human side - even in a fantasy universe - and ignoring the romance. Charlize Theron gives a show of performance in the role of the evil and beauty-obsessed queen, as well as Chris Hemsworth who is the hunter and Kristen Stewart, who brings life to Snow White. The movie was so successful that it gave way to a sequel, 'The Huntsman: Winter's War'.
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.
