Independence Day: Resurgence (2016)



Two decades after the first Independence Day invasion, Earth is faced with a new extra-Solar threat.

A sequel omitting everything that made the original so entertaining: humor, irony, panache; the star cast are mainly stick figures in a CGI game with a ridiculous plot.

Tau (2018)



A woman is held captive by a scientist in a futuristic smart house, and hopes to escape by reasoning with the Artificial Intelligence that controls the house.

An interesting premise gets an unimaginative treatment, especially missing in character development, and the discourse with the Artificial Intelligence lacks credibility.

It Follows (2014)



A young woman is followed by an unknown supernatural force after a sexual encounter.

Nicely original take on a ghost story this movie uses less shocks, but creates a subtly dreamlike atmosphere and ends with a riddle.
