Mercy
(2026)
|
George Simpson
|
You’d think the plot would be a fun murder mystery with a detective looking for the real killer, while also thematically commenting on the rapid rise of AI and the moral complexities around it. Sadly, it’s much more tedious than that.

28 Years Later: The Bone Temple
(2026)
|
George Simpson
|
The Bone Temple is a smaller, but no less impactful, movie than its predecessor; one that mixes its creatively surreal horror imagery with the meaty intellectual depths of Garland’s script.

The whole parody is rather silly, and the storyline is mostly predictable, but if you're up for some light relief, then it's a suitably watchable pastime.

Avatar: Fire and Ash
(2025)

Lucas Hill-Paul

From the lovingly crafted close-ups of alien faces caked in photorealistic blood, sweat and tears to the nature documentary-style detours across Pandora... Fire and Ash almost justifies its arrogant runtime.

The first act's deliberate pacing lets viewers soak in the setting, sumptuously filmed by cinematographer Steve Yedlin, with surprisingly poignant religious themes.
