Check out some of our reviews below on the newest movies that have come out. In this modern
age where people are turning more to streaming services such as Netflix, it is becoming somewhat
harder to keep people coming to the cinemas to watch movies. Therefore, companies are working to
make their films more demanding of a huge cinematic experience.
This concern started as early as the 1950s when television was becoming mainstream. Cinema and television
were in conflict with each other, so big film studios were pressured to upgrade the quality of the cinematic
experience to lure viewers back to the cinema. This was where the invention of wider lenses (such as Cinemascope)
and wider screens to view the films on occurred. Colour also became more widely used in the 1950s for this very same
reason, and it eventually overtook black-and-white as the standard presentation for films. This concern has become
even more exacerbated in this day and age as films released in cinemas have become either very effects-driven superhero films
or long historical and biological epics designed in ways that need to be experienced on the big screen.

A mind-bending and groundbreaking experience that requires multiple viewings.
This movie delves into high concepts and demands deep thinking and understanding in order to process what is going on in the movie.
There are also some mind-blowing action sequences.
Tenet (2020)

Would be a better movie if we could hear what everyone was saying!
With this movie, it seems that director Christopher Nolan (Inception) has somewhat overreached and tried too hard to recapture the mind-bending, high-concept nature of previous movies
to the point where he has made an incoherent mess.
