Men In Black- International (2019) Movie Review

                                                             

             Jim Pagiamtzis Review:
         Men In Black is back with new agents in this reboot of a successful franchise held by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jone for 3 films.
            Agent H (Chris Hemsworth) and Agent M (Tessa Thompson) go on a worldwide adventure chasing The Hive and mysterious organization with plan to take over earth. Agent O (Emma Thompson) is the only returning MIB. The voice of  Kumail Nanjiani (Pawny) adds the comedic element that keeps the movie going. Sadly it doesn't help the film make the splash it needed to make this reboot memorable.
               The magic that Chris Hemsworth and Tessa Thompson had in Thor Ragnarok doesn't materialize and time seems very one-sided. Pawny is the glue that holds the movie together for the most part.
             The climatic action sequence fizzle very quickly and by the time you get to the end scene it fails to impress and make you wanting more.
              Reboot fails to revive the Men In Black chemistry that first three films had

        6 out of 10 stars
       
  

              Movie plot;

Life (2017): Movie

                                                                 

             Jim Pagiamtzis review
                 Aliens in space again!  In this film an extremely smart and intelligent alien is created that sends the crew on wild ride of cat and mouse.  Ryan Reynolds has a short and sweet part in the film. Jake Gyllenhall & Rebecca Ferguson provide the heart pounding action and the team work that puts them on crazy journey.  The ending will create more questions than answers that may leave you confused.

    7 of 10 stars



                  Movie plot:
                      Astronauts (Jake Gyllenhaal, Rebecca Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds) aboard the International Space Station are on the cutting edge of one of the most important discoveries in human history: the first evidence of extraterrestrial life on Mars. As members of the crew conduct their research, the rapidly evolving life-form proves far more intelligent and terrifying than anyone could have imagined.

                                                   

The Predator (2018) Movie Review (Toronto International Film Festival 2018)

    
                                                                      

                   Jim Pagiamtzis Review
      
               Predator is back with new mission!   Shane Black directs this recent Predator movie, he appeared in the first film in 1987 with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fast forward to 2018 and the new beast has a more covert mission to complete.

              (Boyd Holbrook) Quinn has an epic battle with predator he is thrust in the action very quickly with his son Rory (Jacob Tremblay). Quinn teams up with unlikely group of military rejects to deal with alien species. Throughout the film there lots of comedic moments that get little overdone as the movie evolves.

                 (Olivia Munn)Casey Bracket plays the scientist brought in to evaluate the alien species and what they are really here to do.

               As the two plots connect the hunt begins that story begins to make sense. There are couple of new alien dogs that come from the ride and don't make any real impact on the film, even a real dog is used badly.

            As it nears the climatic end the real reason is revealed which opens up new saga for the future!

              Rating 7 out of 10 stars

               From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home. The universe's most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and an evolutionary biologist can prevent the end of the human race.

Jim Pagiamtzis review

A nail biting thriller that will you have at the edge of you seat in fear. Family is living in fear and surviving in an environment on not make noise with 3 kids! John Kransinski (Director and Father) has an outstanding performance with his real wife (Emily Blunt). The three kids are zoned in and play powerful roles in this epic thrill seeking film. The aliens are scary and well done!

Martin Hutnik review: Great balance of narratives — family and the dynamics there, survival, fear. movie keeps you on your toes!

Sujit K Reddy:
Good: Suspenseful
Bad: Could have started from Day 1
Ugly: The story could have the other people in different places in the area.
