Inferno — For the fans of the series only — 6*/10

• Overall: This third installment is the least interesting chapter (read my review of the first one here and the second one here). Director Ron Howard can do much better.
• Who is it for? Those who really need to see more of The Da Vinci Code world.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3062096/
• Known actors: Tom Hanks, Felicity Jones, Omar Sy, Irrfan Khan and Ben Foster.
• Setting: History rich Europe.
• Style: Intrigue, with some suspense and a bit of action.
• Pacing: Awkward.
• Story: There is an intrigue which is interesting, some action, but what made the original so good, the historical background and the puzzles, just isn't really good.
• Ending: Mostly action based, which is weird for the type of flick.
• Dialogs: Interesting. Well made.
• Characters: Not that interesting or well built. It is the movie's biggest weakness.
• Acting: Beside Tom Hanks, the rest of the cast is adequate, but not more.
• Visuals: Nice.
• Special Effects: Adequate.
• Afterthoughts: I wasn't expecting much and I didn't get much. I had been disappointed by the second chapter and unfortunately this latest one isn't better, it's a notch down. Still, it is entertaining and I was happy to see Langdon once again. I'm just glad I didn't pay the full price.

Transformers: Dark of the Moon — Not too bad for a third chapter — 6*/10

• Overall: Some broken logic steps make it a lesser cousin in the series (read my view of the first one here and the second one here). Still, it's good entertainment.
• Who is it for? Only the fans of the series or those in need of a sci-fi action fix.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1399103/
• Known actors: Shia LaBeouf, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Frances McDormand, John Malkovich, Patrick Dempsey, John Turturro, Alan Tudyk, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson.
• Cameos: Julie White, Kevin Dunn, Ken Jeong and Buzz Aldrin.
• Style: Sci-fi action.
• Intro: I hate it when they rewrite history. I hated it in the second one, too, but here, they rewrite their own story. Annoying.
• Story: Simple. Lots of action with some humor.
• Dialogs: Funny, but simple.
• Characters: Same as usual. This time, they did give a more involved role to the main female lead which had been a problem in the second chapter.
• Visuals: Great.
• Special Effects: Near perfect.
• Afterthoughts: You have to love Transformers to really appreciate this one, else, it's gonna be a lot stuff without much meat.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen — On a much larger scale — 7*/10

• Ending: Action oriented.
• Epilogue: Short and forgettable.
• Dialogs: Very simple.
• Characters: Very simple. The female lead has a much smaller role even though she's onscreen a lot. It's really disappointing. The soldiers suffer the same fate. This is not a character movie, much less than the original and very few character interactions that are good, especially what passes for a romance.
• Acting: Okay, I guess.
• Visuals: Awesome.
• Special Effects: Perfect, or near enough.
• Camera Work: A true Michael Bay treatment.
• Score: Very engaging.
• Afterthoughts: Great entertainment, but you can't ask for much more.

• Intro: Should have cut the initial action, overdone stratagem. Go straight to the boring funny stuff.

• Ending: Meh. It's okay. Funny, I guess.
• Epilogue: Not sure what to think of it.
• Dialogs: Funny. Silly. There are a few gems in there.
• Characters: Nicely done. Some very interesting ideas. Well developed. Daringly tries to escape the archetypes.
• Afterthoughts: Pleasantly entertained.

Truffe — Bizarre, simple et très bien monté — 7*/10

Un film de science-fiction légèrement surréaliste et imaginatif qui compte parmi ses figurants Roy Dupuis. Le petit budget ne parait pas trop et les situations sordides ou étranges ne font que nous attirer en plus profondément dans ce monde insolite.

Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1031288/

• Pacing: Varies, lots of quiet moments cut with intrigue, some action and snappy repartee.

Star Trek — The best ever made and one accessible to all — 10*/10

• Dialogs: Witty, hilarious at times, or serious, never letting us down. 
• Characters: Well developed, a certain departure from the originals, but realistically so.
• Acting: Excellent. 
• Visuals: Mind blowing, all the time. Awe inspiring.
• Special Effects: Perfect. 
• Afterthoughts: The first time, I was blown away. The second time, I couldn't believe how good I still thought it was. I was as riveted as the first time. I highly recommend it 

Vanilla Sky — A weird semi sci-fi that needs to be watched more than once — 8*/10

• Overall: It's the kind of movie which is better when watched the second time around, it's only then that it really gets as good as it should. Great one by director Cameron Crowe.

• Ending: Philosophical. 
• Dialogs: Almost schizophrenic, very intelligent and strongly emotional. 
• Characters: Stark and solid, realistic in their own way.

• Afterthoughts: The first time around, I was disappointed by the ending, the second time, I was ready to spend the time thinking it through and pondering the ins and outs. 

Tout en haut du monde — Un film d'animation pour les adultes au coeur d'enfant — 8*/10

Un film qui vous plongera de manière immersive dans une grande aventure. Son style de dessin particulier et très beau, ainsi que ces moments où on nous donne le temps de penser vous transporteront aisément. Les personnages sont attachants, l'histoire bien pensée et la fin courageuse.

• Acting: Excellent.
• Visuals: Clean, sober and strong.

• Ending: Well done.
• Dialogs: Mixed result, at best.
• Characters: Way too simple, especially the male roles.
• Acting: Bad male acting, great female leads, especially for the main character, astounding.
• Visuals: Nice.

• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1865505/

• Afterthoughts: Got out of the cinema very satisfied and well entertained.

Snowden — A must for all and a great intellectual thriller — 8*/10

• Overall: Oliver Stone turned something pretty dry, near boring, into an incredibly intense piece. He's a genius who excels at playing with emotions.
• Who is it for? Everyone. First and foremost, we should all be familiar with that story, it's important for our future. We are going to increasingly be dependent on technology so we should know how it can expose us.

• Known actors: Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Shailene Woodley and Rhys Ifans.
• Cameos: Nicolas Cage, Tom Wilkinson and Timothy Olyphant.
• Setting: Behind the computer side of intelligence gathering.
• Style: Suspense based biographical retelling of real events dramatized for the screen.
• Story: I have no doubt that what is presented is accurate, even though it is obviously dramatized. That way, it makes for great entertainment as well as being an eye opener. It keeps you riveted from start to finish.

• Epilogue: History is a never ending epilogue.
• Dialogs: Solid.
• Characters: Well built.
• Acting: Excellent, although I'm surprised at Joseph Gordon-Levitt modifying his voice again.

• Acting: Powerful. Loved Kate Winslet, but was really impressed by Hugo Weaving.
• Visuals: Beautiful and complex, full of details.

• Known actors: Jared Leto and Rhys Ifans.
• Style: Almost surreal sci-fi.
• Story: It's about choices, building time and deconstructing it. A very different sci-fi with romance, sadness, hopes and illusions. You get lost, but you explore so many possibilities.

• Characters: You get an excellent feel for those characters that do not fit into your standard stereotypes.
• Acting: Excellent.
• Visuals: Strong.
• Special Effects: Solid, if not perfect.
• Camera Work: Excellent. Makes the story telling work.

• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1473832/
• Known actors: Renée Zellweger, Colin Firth, Patrick Dempsey and Emma Thompson.
• Cameos: Jim Broadbent.
• Setting: Well off English individuals.
• Style: Standard romantic comedy.
• Story: Interesting, very funny, not pathetic as some of the previous chapters were, and some excellent decisions as far as how events unfolded. However, the fighting between the men, even though I've seen worst, was a bit too rom-com. That's now how it happens in real life. More over, I would have been very happy without all the flashbacks of passed movies.
• Ending: This is where they dropped the ball. Predictable and way too easy.
• Dialogs: Funny, if simple. Loved the narration as always.
• Characters: Simple.
• Score: Great. Nice modern twist in some places.

• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3263904/
• Known actors: Tom Hanks, Aaron Eckhart, Laura Linney and Anna Gunn.
• Cameos: Michael Rapaport.
• Style: Quiet drama with a few very tense events.
• Pacing: Great back and forth.
• Intro: Excellent idea. 
• Story: Loved the way it’s told, makes those 208 seconds very interesting.
• Ending: Considering it's based on real events, it's pretty solid. The speech by the woman, however, was a bit, just a bit, much for me.
• Dialogs: Great, very realistic in some places but maybe a bit too perfect in others.
• Characters: The bad guys weren't gray enough, I am doubtful they were correctly portrayed, which has been a controversy surrounding the film.
• Acting: Beyond reproach.
• Special Effects: Seamless.
• Score: Seamless, except for the light music when the ferries are assisting which seemed odd.
• Afterthoughts: Great satisfaction, but I wasn't surprised to read about the controversy. Makes for a nice movie, though.

The Wild Life (Robinson Crusoe) — Just terrible — 3*/10

• Overall: Bad voices, bad characters, bad dialogs...
• Who is it for? Only young children. Adults will be bored.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4731008/

Mechanic: Resurrection — A bad action flick with bad special effects — 4*/10

• Overall: I was bored and disappointed after 15 minutes. 
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3522806/
• Acting: Tommy Lee Jones was great. He was the only thing good in this film and the main reason why I went to see it. I love Jessica Alba, but she wasn't given much to work with.
• Special Effects: There weren't terrible, but you could see they were special effects without even trying.
• Camera Work: Some parts didn't even have focus.
• Afterthoughts: Wasted my time. Learn from my mistake, please.

Morgan — A nice low key moody tense science-fiction film — 8*/10

• Overall: Interesting intrigue and suspense based sci-fi with a bit of action.
• Who is it for? Anyone looking for some low-key but tense sci-fi just a bit of violence.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4520364/
• Known actors: Kate Mara, Michelle Yeoh and Paul Giamatti.
• Cameos: Brian Cox.
• Setting: Isolated research center deep in the wood.
• Style: Moody, tense sci-fi.
• Intro: A shock, then the long quiet. Slightly unsettling. You get into the mood right away.
• Story: The science-fiction part is intellectual, because there are no visible signs of it. The mood is tense throughout. You don't know what's what and who's who. There's a palpable intrigue, but it's sort of hidden. There's violence, sometimes action. It's very moody.
• Ending: Great. Surprising. Loved it.
• Epilogue: It makes the movie. Perfect.
• Dialogs: Realistic, intense.
• Characters: Each character is extremely well developed and with nice depth. If we could feel them as much as we do, there would be no movie or it would be really bad. More over, there's no real presence of archetypes. Very well done.
• Acting: Excellent. Across the board.
• Visuals: Beautiful, haunting.
• Afterthoughts: Very satisfied. I thought for a while just as the conclusion was getting underway that it would fall apart and lose the mood it had built all along, but no. Really nice.

Interestingly enough, this flick passes the Bechdel test.

Hell or High Water — It's a solid ride but it will also make you think — 9*/10

• Overall: A gritty dirty modern far west movie, but on a very personal level. Quiet, almost.
• Who is it for? I think everyone should take a good look at it, but I know not everybody is going to like it. Those looking for action might get bored. Those looking for introspection might not like the bit of violence there is. There's more to it than the preview lets you imagine.
• Synopsis & information: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2582782/
• Known actors: Ben Foster, Chris Pine and Jeff Bridges.
• Setting: Poor dirty grimy Texan rural counties.
• Style: Crime done for the right reason trying to avoid the consequences.
• Pacing: A few actions sequence with many quiet reflective lull.
• Intro: Not wasting a second and getting right where we want to be. Grabs the attention quick before the credits. Perfect.
• Story: Yes, it's about robbing banks, but it's not so much about how. It's more about whom. Whom does it, who's looking for them and who's around. It's about a place, a time and a multitude of reasons. It's about making up your mind and pushing an idea to its ultimate conclusion.
• Ending: It's more like an epilogue, but without it, the film would have less of a character pull. It's great as it is.
• Dialogs: Not always perfect, but they make the audience really feel what's happening.
• Characters: Great. Well developed. Can't ask for more. You even get to like the little characters. It's a character flick first and foremost.
• Acting: Excellent, even for Jeff Bridges who still mumble his lines with that thick accent he's been using these past few years. At least, here, it makes sense.
