Tau (2018)
Below average...
Netflix continues to disappoint with its original movies. The original series and its takeovers seem quite good, but the movies are below average!
This seems like a rip off ex machina. There is an attempt to make an attachment between the lead characters Tau and Julia. Tau is never believable as a sentient AI. Too much plot convenience where important information like 'Tau can never go outside' is given directly by the villain himself.
Ed skrein is a single dimensional villain with no character arc. Cant believe this is the same guy who played ajax in deadpool.
Netflix guys, if you are reading this, please hire a good critics team to criticize the original content you guys throw out... sure you dont have to worry about box office, but please dont spend money to make movies with absolutely no plot!
Lost in Space: Impact (2018)
Robinsons are the worst parents ever
I have no idea where to begin.
Is it when the parents makes the kids play cards while the Jupiter crafts are crashing?
Or the stupid idea to ask a kid to get the lithium battery from submerged Jupiter craft in an unknown planet where you landed minutes ago!
Or while the girl is stuck in the ice, her sister and mother are chatting about their life.. instead of... I dont know.. digging to save her life?
It feels extremely unrealistic...I know it is fictional sci fi.. but the writing and screenplay is senseless
Captain America: Civil War (2016)
7/10 honestly its a season of disappointments *Spoilers*
It is indeed a season of disappointments. Maybe because we have three competing studious creating so much hype about movies that they fail to live up to their own expectations. Here goes a review:
What this movie got correctly:
1. A large number of people in the movie, but it was well managed and well directed. No one seemed out of place and had a definite place in the script. Its good to see everyone playing not just their part but their effective characters as well. Loved when BW betrayed team iron man, double spying is in her DNA! 2. Awesome action sequences. The Russo's know how to direct a good chase sequence. The highway scene and the airport scene were awesome. Giant man was done OK. Spider man was good, talkative, overactive. 3. Humor. Well, for good or the worse, this movie has a lot of humor and it did get all of us chuckling. My wife liked it... I maybe would have liked a little less humor when everyone is trying to kill each other... Anyway, everyone in the hall seemed happy, so i will say the directors got it correctly. 4. Fast paced. With a little bit of story telling, the movie was fairly fast paced with some or the other thing keeping us intrigued.
What the movie didn't get right:
1. You put 10 heroes together, where is the villain? Is an ordinary Sokivian a villain? Is avengers so weak that they broke up so easily? You build up the movie saying there could be five evil winter soldiers in the end and then have Zemo put a bullet in them for a stupid reason? Ridiculous. Instead Zemo should have turned them all active and made them fight Cap, Iron man, WS and BP. Disappointment. MCU movies are so good, but please invest some writers and provide a good villain! (Damn you Feige if you get Thanos wrong and waste a decade!) 2. Whats up with that hot as$ Aunt May? They have got Peter parker gravely wrong. How does stark know her already? Felt a bit pushed. 3. Really? Stark lets Clint, SW, Ant man all rot in prison? He had no issues when SW and quicksilver agreed to support him in AOU although his weapons were the reason that SW and Quicksilvers parents dies. Why cant he handle one truth that WS was controlled like a puppet and had no mind of his own. 3. Scale wasn't as grand as Avengers level movie, but it was certainly shown to be such in trailers. This was a little disappointing.
All in all, it was 7/10. Two super hero mash ups haven't lived up to the hype. I hope X men doesn't disappoint.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Iconic. Epic. Batman and Superman in the new world
Thank you haters... I doubt if even half of you have watched the movie before rotting it up everywhere for others. Just saw an early screening in Malaysia.... and the movie is A.W.E.S.O.M.E... Because of you, I maybe doubted two icons maybe for a split second... but no longer....
It is iconic.. it is epic.. it is what you would expect from BVS... a solid 10/10...
#You would see a new and improved versions of Batman and Superman much more in tune with the new world and much more believable.. #Everyone has a well crafted role. Especially the twists (Future Flash, WW past, Knightmare) #The courtroom scene was epic. If you don't know what happened, you can not see what was coming. #Lex is such a villain that he gave me goosebumps. He planned well ahead, maybe more than Batman. #Doomsday.. Man.. Is he a villain! He just doesn't die! #We get everything... Superman vs doomsday, Batman vs doomsday, WW vs doomsday and of course the trinity vs doomsday in all combinations to give us an epic finale!
Stop looking at the critics, reviews, message boards, everything and watch the most iconic movie of this year!

Neerja (2016)
Masterpiece with a pinch of salt
Neerja is a masterpiece with a pinch of salt. Movie develops very well with a birthday party going on and Neerja's birthday in a few days. There are a few corny references to Neerja's carefree attitude with Mother Daughter conversation looking for a protective ring for Neerja's safety and asking her to give up her job as well. Once you are in the flight, it is a roller coaster. The hijackers have done a splendid job in being a little bit messy (as I assume the hijackers would have been even in the real case). The messy and incoherence of Hijackers is played well by characters, undoubtedly Khalil steals the show. The references to Neerja's past are informative but to be honest, we could have maybe one or two fewer of them. The true takeaway is the character of Neerja who is caring, affectionate, life like and above all- inspiring.
Wazir (2016)
Watch it for excellent acting by Amitabh and the twist at the end
It is not very often that a Hindi movie script leaves you in awe and amaze at the very end. I read few reviews and was aware that the ending has a 'twist'. However, I could not guess it throughout the movie. Watch it for the end if for nothing else.
The movie revolves around the friendship of an intelligence officer (Farhan) who lost his daughter trapped in a gun fire with terrorists and a Chess enthusiast (Amitabh) who has lost his legs and family to some ill fortunes. The plot is gripping and movie is in general fast paced. Movie boasts of a power packed performance by Amitabh who makes his character come to life. Farhan did a decent enough job and was convincing in his act. Aditi seemed unnecessary and was silent through almost all scenes.
I would give it a solid 8.
