Annihilation (2018)

 


 

A biologist signs up for a dangerous, secret expedition into a mysterious zone where the laws of nature don't apply.

Visually brilliant sci-fi mystery with a bleak atmosphere and a complex ending, but a bit short on character development.

On re-watching: Great sci-fi drama reveals more details with a second viewing.

Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith (2005)



After three years of fighting in the Clone Wars, Anakin Skywalker concludes his journey towards the Dark Side of the Force, putting his friendship with Obi Wan Kenobi and his marriage at risk.

The birth of Darth Vader concludes the trilogy as a bombastic interstellar opera.

On renewed viewing I still think that Anakin Skywalker's metamorphosis to Darth Vader a bit unconvincing; much of the fun comes from the supporting characters and diverse aliens.

Maltin***: "Long, uneven, but meticulously crafted entry...has some of the same faults as its immediate predecessors, but delivers an emotional wallop as it brings the prequel trilogy" to a conclusion. Yoda dominates every scene he is in - and gives the best performance in the film!"
