Aliens
This follow-on film is up there with The Godfather Part II as one of the best sequels ever made, despite its many deviations from its equally excellent predecessor.
Alien
One of the best science fiction movies, one of the best horror movies, and for sure the best science fiction horror movie, I have ever seen.
Bumblebee
As a movie, it’s pretty fun. Compared to its franchise peers, it’s practically a work of art.
Frankenstein
This horror classic does not hold up.
Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker
Forty years and nine movies worth of built up expectations ends in a hot mess.
Total Recall
This sci-fi cult classic’s imaginative and mind-bending story does a lot to offset or otherwise justify its wilder directorial choices.
Spider-Man: Far From Home
A respectable entry into the pantheon of Spider Man movies only hindered by its required nods to Marvel’s larger cinematic universe.
Pitch Black
A bit clunky at times, but otherwise a master class in science fiction filmmaking on a tight budget.
Barbarella
Both brilliant and terrible in equal measure, but more marred by its failings than elevated by its successes.
