Alien: Covenant (2017)

Don't really like because the lead character turns dumb towards the end and a certain bit seems to copy a famous fight scene from ALIENS.

Citizen Dog (2004)

Not too bad. Loved it.

Lucky Boy 天公仔 (2017)

Not too bad. Movie is much better than the trailer and the red poster, which I don't really like. This poster I like better but it still feels like it lacks a certain punch that might bring it to the next level of greatness.

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)

Not too bad.

Some plot holes, IMHO. Why does Ego need Mantis? As a living planet, why doesn't Ego move faster?

Adequately entertaining though I wasn't sure I'll want to watch twice (I'm now at that stage).

Chris Platt looks "fatter". Lovely story about fathers and sons. And sisters. And Fleetwood Mac saves the day (sorta).

On a side note, Ego seems to behave like Trigon from the Wolfman and Perez NTT, while Mantis' empathic ability reminds me of a younger Raven from the same period (without the burden of a demonic father).

Pop Aye (2017)

Was ok.

Fast & Furious 8 (2017)

Chair was comfy but it leaned back more than I'm used to. Struggled to keep awake after a bit and then basically woke up towards the end and found it too noisy for my liking. To be fair, I watched this at the end of a long and tiring day, but the only bits I like (and managed to catch awake) had Jason Statham and Helen Mirren in them. The 3D felt unnecessary.

Ghost in the Shell (2017)

Visuals were pretty. Storytelling not that compelling. Not sure if it was worth the 3D format but yes to IMAX.
