An incredible, adventurous heartwarming survival story. It really gives us an idea of how we would feel, physically and mentally when our fast-paced, enjoyable and exciting life is tragically stripped away from us and slowed to a crawl as we are far away from home, lonely and tested extremely. A great example if how people change when they are castaways.

Although Shane Harper does do his best at spreading the message that gods still alive, that's not enough to save this movie which is a big flop. This was the worst movie I have ever seen. To start with it fails to prove that God exists through science. I believe God does exist and that science can prove it. But this movie failed to do so. Then the clear message of the movie is good vs evil which is Christians vs everyone else- Atheists and Muslims to be specific. Not a good way to get people to believe. The acting is also horrible. Really I cannot believe anyone took this movie seriously at all. I cannot describe how wrong and shameful this movie is, not to mention how easily the producers of this movie fill their own pockets at the expense of true believing Christians. Although I'm an atheist, I'm offended for Christians, Atheists, Buddhists, Muslims, and many other groups that are slandered/ misrepresented in this film

This film is very good at character analysis and that it shows that things are not always what they seem to be with excellent performances from Denzel Washington. Flight is exciting - terrific, really - because in addition to the sophisticated storytelling techniques by which it keeps us hooked, it doesn't drag audience sympathies around by the nose, telling us what to think or how to judge the reckless, charismatic protagonist played by Denzel Washington.

One of my favourite science fiction disaster films of all time. Morgan freeman does an excellent job playing fictional U. S. President Tom Bec. The Plot is mysterious, dramatic, intense and powerfully moving as well as spectacular visuals. A really deep movie that does a good job of showing the world in this situation. I really like how it doesn't focus on just one person as the "hero," but rather select individuals. Although, Morgan Freeman does tend to steal the show, as usual. It's just as awesome as the day after tomorrow

Fun for the whole family! Even if it's reliant on slapstick humour and kids jokes it will surely entertain the kiddies. I laughed several times too. Absolutely loved it, Mr. Poppers Penguins was a book I grew up with and I absolutely loved this film adaptation. Jim Carrey makes a hilarious Mr. Popper and the penguins were amazingly well done. How could one not like this movie? While it's all pretty predictable, Jim Carrey delivers and it's both funny and delightful. If you're looking for a movie that the whole family can enjoy together, this would be it.

Penguins of Madagascar is a faithful and delightful film adaptation the Nickelodeon TV show of the same name. Actually, this film was quite interesting, adventurous and fun! The movie contains the same Thea of suspense, action, adventure and laughable comedy from the previous Madagascar films as well as the TV series of the same name. Stop hating these four adorable little guys and be positive! To me, I was really waiting for a movie solemnly focusing on the four penguins and this film does a successful job bringing their charm and wit to the big screen in 92-4 minutes rather than 25-30 minutes. This is also a very good animation effort! Well done Tom, Chris, Conrad and Christopher! I also wanted to know more about the history of these lovable four spy birds and exactly how they came to New York City and had been living in Central Park Zoo, forming the Nickelodeon TV series ever since. This film is a story of friendship, finding family, teamwork, action and adventure, betrayal and all coated with cartoon comedy! Well done Eric and Simon!! Also there are some charming and heart touching moments. It's fun for the whole family! This movie is funny start to end. A movie that kids will enjoy. The pace is crazy funny, the jokes are humorous. Sound Mixing was OK. this movie will make your eyes cry. And Don't forget this movie. Replay Value: High.

Stop hating the characters and just be positive! It's flawed but fascinating! Kevin James and the rest of the wisecracking animals make this film shine. Although this is little kids comedy and reliant on slapstick humour and silly little kids jokes, it's still fun to watch! It's also really good at in-depth character analysis, finding out who you really are and who the true love of your life is. I'm a teen and I laughed several times throughout this movie. It also explores different aspects of the characters personality. So watch this if you're feeling bored. It'll cheer you up for sure! Kevin James has that funny clown's slapstick humour. Here's a tip for the parents: open up a little and focus on the films message: not how to propose someone but it's finding out who you really are and befriending others.

A perfect sequel, equally funny to the first one. While Mr. Bean's Holiday is truly an unforgettable, memorable vacation, Atkinson proves an agreeably silly and goofy tour guide. Although a bit too reliant on kiddish jokes, silly pranks and obvious slapstick humour, it's the perfect sequel and I really enjoyed it. I even chuckled and laughed a bunch of times. Sadly, this may be the second and last film in the film series as the possibility of a third film is very slim. Yet, this film series was fun, comedically enjoyable and popcorn filled while it lasted. I'm also surprised that even though it received mixed or average reviews, this sequel did a bit better than the prequel. It was the funniest movie I've ever seen. I loved when Mr. Bean was singing opera. It was very intelligent. I loved when he ate the oysters and put it in the woman's purse. I loved when Mr. Bean ate the shrimp. I loved the movie in the movie. It was funny when Mr. Bean lost his bus ticket on the chicken's foot. I loved when he knocked over the man's coffee. I would give it a 100! I loved when he wrote all the possibilities on his passport to call on his boy's dad.

A faithful, delightful and hilariously laughing riot feature film to the British television film. Flawed, but comedic ally fascinating, this film is a MUST WATCH for the Mr. Bean fans. It's so funny how a goofy British mumbling character causes so much trouble in the United States of America. Especially when the airport officer says "Well you could really use some [medication]" I was laughing like crazy. Even though it broke a rule (Bean speaks a bit differently than the TV series, it's still freshly squeezed comedy and fun for the whole family. To be honest, I also thought the TV series was funny and I was really hoping for a full length movie. Rowan Atkinson is truly at his best as the loveable and goofy character. The film used many of the ideas and skits from the original television series.

What I really like about this film is that it reunites Keanu and Sandra for the first time since they starred in Speed. After 12 years, they're BACK! And their romantic chemistry is still there. This time, it's drama and romance which powerfully strengthens their chemistry and feelings. Ever since they did not reunite since Speed 2: Cruise Control, I thought they would never reunite. Also, the plot may seem a bit too convoluted for scientists because there's a science-fiction wrinkle time difference of two years. What you don't realize is that it's not time travel. If you actually believe in the magic of this story, this romance fantasy will come to life! It's about realizing that the best moment of your life (meeting or getting to know a friend, not just in person but by letter) can happen unexpectedly. It's truly heartwarming and powerfully. Without Sandy and Keanu reunited, this film would flop. And this adorable, romantic couple is the only thing that makes this film shine. It's a love story about two friends who live two years apart and "magically" reunite. It shows that they truly have feelings for each other and care for each other no matter what. This film is a must watch for the Keandra fans.

Horrible and hideous to the extreme it shouldn't have been made! What a horrible, **** sequel to an awesome film! Disgraceful! A good example of a horrible sequel. You can tell EXACTLY why Keanu turned it down and rejected Speed 2 even though he was offered a $12 million paycheck. Just watch the entire film and you'll see why: it's flat out boring and lame. Unnecessary sequel. For me, that was a very wise move, Keanu! I would totally give him the props (bro fist) and five thumbs up, not for ditching Jan and Sandra but for criticizing the film's plot, setting and script. He knows what a horrible, **** sequel is when he sees it. Even if Keanu returned as Jack, he would truly shine as Jack but that's not enough to save this movie. You're better off watching the first film. Great decision Keanu! You truly deserve a raise! Jason Patrick, although he does do his best to shine as Annie's new policeman fiancé, let's face it: NOBODY, not even Jason can replace Keanu's role (no offence). Jack has just the right facial appearance and the right amount of mischief in his eyes to be a born heroic cop. He's the MAN! Although Sandra, Willem and director Jan try to prevent this already waterlogged sequel from sinking to the bottom of the ocean by inserting some twists and turns, a few action sequences and some laughable dialogue, the biggest flop of this sequel is the lack of thrill with a slow-moving cruise ship rather than a fast, wired-for-explosive-destruction bomb laden city bus zooming above 50 MPH through the streets of Los Angeles and ending up at the airport. Even when the ship crashes into a beach town of Saint Martin bringing it to a halt, look at how slow the ship is, even at full speed. It BARELY damaged the area. I mean, look at the substantial amount of deceleration in this film. It was slower and poorer, like a garbage truck or by watching paint dry. As soon as Kenau declined to reprise his role as Jack, Sandra (as Annie) should have followed. The director Jan could have done a better job at the plot line and setting like have Daniel Payne (Howard's son) avenge his father's death by rigging a huge C4 in the cargo area of a Boeing 737 that Jack, his wife Annie and their two sons are flying on vacation to Hawaii activate if it accelerates above 185 knots and ascends above 2300 feet (the captain or first officer gets injured leaving the other pilot to fly the plane with Jack and Annie assisting him. After ALL the hostages parachute to safety from the moving plane, the out of fuel Boeing 737 nosedives into the ground. Jack, Mac and Annie continue to defeat Daniel using a slightly different scam than from the first film. After Jack, Mac and Annie kill Daniel, they all head home into the sunset or eat pizza in a restaurant. That's more like what the plot should have been; on a fast moving vehicle, with Keanu and Sandra's characters married (they make such an adorable couple) and a few newcomer child actors for the two sons. This flopped sequel just killed the speed film franchise. I doubt there will ever be a Speed 3 (Keanu declined the possibility of a third film) and if there is and reunites Keanu and Sandy, I just hope they can still maintain their young looks from the '90s. Annie's character is significantly reduced here. Also, Glenn Plummer, Joe Morton and Sandra Bullock are the only ones to reprise. Jan should have abandoned the project for a sequel when Reeves quit. Honestly, Keanu is so smart and generous to decline and explore other opportunities. WELL DONE KEANU THUMBS UP!

A truly engaging sequel! This is a true secret to a strong sequel: take off from where the previous film ends, thrown in new ideas for the plot to make it bigger and better, more colourful and vibrant and this creating a sole film into a franchise. Ignore the critics they are too serious. Rio 2 brings newly improved crispy and fleshy visuals than the original. It's story is great which deals family matters and relationship, the music is funky and lively, the voice casts is well-talented but the only thing that doesn't work out much is the hit-or-miss gags. Overall, it still enjoyable to watch at.

Rio soars to high heights thanks to awesome realistic animation, adventure-comedy storyline and a sprinkle of romance between Blu and Jewel, this is imaginative, intelligent family fun entertainment. Voice acting and lighting, great. The locations, great! Bursting with color and rippling with samba rhythms, Rio makes you wonder why animated films haven't spent more time in Brazil. It's a visual, artistic masterpiece with a taste of Brazilian salsa music! Great and fun for the whole family!

Gorgeously animated, inventive and powerfully moving. It's truly a heart touching story about common problems children face and how their emotions react based on the situation. what an astonishing idea, what an amazing development, what a heart-wrenching drama . It's the Pixar we knew and loved for years. I must admit I've never seen anything quite like this

Legendary, groundbreaking movie! A spiritual, colourful, imaginative, intelligent, 3D adaptation of a complex, unfilmable novel of the same name. Ang Lee's Life of Pi successfully aces the near impossible! It's such a beautiful story of a spiritual Indian teen's survival story that's also heart touching and emotionally rewarding as his family is killed and as the hours stretch into days which stretch into weeks and later months, Pi learns how to form a relationship with the tiger so both can survive. It truly pushes the boundaries of 3D visual effects, green screen and computer generated imagery and exceeding what they are capable of. Great acting, soundtracks and a colourful and realistic animation effort combine to bring this book to life! I'm proud as to how Ang waited for 3D visual effects to evolve so he could make this film as emotional, adventurous. Visually colourful, and religiously musical so the themes of Adventure, discovery and magical fantasy attract the audience. Even if the ending is not that ambiguous, it overall sticks very well to the book!

What a faithful and delightful adaptation of an involving and adventurous children's novel of the same name. This is imaginative, intelligent family entertainment showing a powerful portrayal of discrimination, love, friendship and a truly happy ending. The films plot, cast, themes and symbolism stick very well to the book. The director also chose a great cast and he even filmed it in the deserts of Texas. Louis Sachar himself also supported the film by writing the screenplay. There is truly a very moving, adventurous and interesting plot in the movie as there is in the book. I read the book and I liked it as well as the movie.

After 49 (almost 50) years Alvin still has it! This film is a faithful and delightful adaptation of a beloved children's family and musical cartoon. It successfully replicates and in some ways improves the sole charms of the characters with the kiddish mischief sure to entertain kids. This is also a very good animation effort! There is sweetness here. The scene in which Dave and the boys decorate the tree is charming, and the Chipmunks' excited presentation of gifts to their human dad is actually sort of touching. And dang it, the little animated rodents are cute.

Graceful, thrilling, popcorn filled fun, it's Jurassic World after all! This fourth instalment in the series is another engaging sequel and another dazzling popcorn thriller. From park to world, what are they going to think of next? "Jurassic Space" where aliens invade Earth and the humans and dinosaurs must learn how to communicate and cooperate with each other to save the planet? Now that's interesting. Seriously, this trilogy gets even more tense, taught, energetic, and even more interesting. As it goes on. Can't wait to see the fifth film in 2018.

Everest soars high to great heights, thanks to terrific performances, great and spectacular visual effects, and research to make history come back to life. It would have been better if the film was released on May 2016, 20 years after the disaster. Thanks to 3D VFX and groundbreaking, new generation computer generated imagery, it even makes the audience feel like mountain climbers crossing tough terrain to achieve the near impossible with powerful portrayal of love, loss, bravery and friendship through the viewers eyes.

Actually, this was a terrific, popcorn filled thriller entertainment. The plot is mysterious, tense, taut and suspenseful and the visual effects, even in 3D were so spectacular, realistic and artistic. The acting was well performed and terrific, making this ode of the best science fiction action and adventure films I've ever seen, next to Deep Impact.

An awesome, terrific popcorn thriller and a pure adrenaline rush. Speed is definitely one hell of a ride, and the greatest ride of a lifetime. It's fast paced, mysterious and suspenseful, full of nonstop action and adventure, tense, taut and energetic, leaving you fastening your seat belt tight and hanging on to your seats (literally!) from start to finish. The movie is divided into three sections, the falling express elevator with 13 business executives, then a Santa Monica city bus with 19 passengers and finally, a subway train with only three people, the hero, villain and victim. Director Jan de Bont uses every form of transportation and has Dennis Hopper rig it with explosives, pushing its velocity to its maximum limits. First, you speed up an elevator, then you speed up a city bus over 50 MPH and you have to keep it moving across the downtown city streets and rush hour traffic. The bus literally speeds through LA, swerves, accelerates, jumps and flies! (Like the Magic School Bus) before finally ending up at LAX circling the runway. The bus scene lasts over 50 minutes and becomes the main highlight of the movie, similar to how de Bont substantially expands on Annie's character as she rises in rank from an ordinary bus passenger to Jack's sidekick and love interest. The action, thrill and excitement never stops even when the boobytrapped bus is out of the picture. When the subway train accelerates to full speed and derail on the street, because it goes much faster than a bus. Overall, this is one of the best action film I've seen since the summer of 1994, making it true summer fun. It's the pure definition of an action film.
