Arrival (2016)

Struggled to stay awake at the start as the pacing was slow. Found this brain storming but interesting. Wished I had caught in IMAX. One way to look at this is that it's a very sad and brave story. Amy Adams speaking Chinese didn't work for me though. 

Hidden Figures (2016)

Went in with high expectations as the genre was right up my alley (sort of). Performances were generally good but this is pretty much a by-the-numbers drama that could've been watched on the small screen, IMHO.

Hacksaw Ridge (2016)

Not a fan of war movies but decided to give this a shot due to strong word-of-mouth. Turns out to be pretty good. In fact, I liked it muchly.

The Lego Batman Movie (2017)

Was all right. Enjoyed more than THE LEGO MOVIE.

The Founder (2016)

Generally ok but I wasn't overtly impressed. Michael Keaton's performance is one of the anchors of this piece.

Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2017)

My second movie of the year and also watched overseas. Fell asleep twice. Seat was spacious. Audience mostly well behaved.

The Great Wall - 長城 (2016)

Watched in IMAX 3D. Watching on a big screen is definitely the way to go with this one. Not sure about the 3D though.

Typically enjoyable monster pic augmented by the beautiful visuals that (only) someone like ZY can deliver. Glad that the Chinese don't speak English and the English guys don't speak Chinese (except some). The styling for Jing Tian makes her look like a digitally created character straight out of some video game.
