- Voyagers, 2021 - ★★ April 20, 2021It felt really good to be back in a movie theater. This movie was nothing special, however. Lord of the Flies in space that's only kind of good when it leans into its Lord of the Flies source material (or rip off, whatever).Solid visual effects but pretty bland story.
- Captain America: The Winter Soldier, 2014 - ★★★★½ April 18, 2021Watched on Saturday April 17, 2021.
- Godzilla vs. Kong, 2021 - ★★★ April 7, 2021The visual effects and destruction/battle sequences were really fantastic and looked incredible. Suffers from too many under developed human subplots and eye rolling logic I couldn't quite suspend my disbelief for. Still quite a bit of fun.Podcast review on The Obsessive Viewer will come out probably tomorrow.

- In the Tall Grass, 2019 - ★★½ April 5, 2021Rewatched to record a commentary track for my Patreon.I was pretty forgiving of this movie the first time I saw it.

- Kong: Skull Island, 2017 - ★★★½ April 5, 2021Really liked the time period, the location, and just the overall scale of Kong. All of that was really eye popping. Pretty solid all around.

Movie Review: Man of Steel (2013)
You can hear more of my thoughts on the movie in this week’s episode of The Obsessive Viewer Podcast.
I waited for Man of Steel to come to my local IMAX theater because I wanted to see it properly. After almost 2 months it was finally showing at the only 70mm IMAX theater in my state and I jumped at the chance to see it. I saw it in 3D solely because I had no other choice. I won’t comment further on the 3D since I’ve already said my peace on the matter elsewhere. But, needless to say, 3D added absolutely nothing to this theater experience. Continue reading
