Nerve

With social media at the very heart of the world we live in, the film takes these elements to demonstrate the wide-spreading nature of this technology, as well as the hidden danger through its incredibly intriguing premise. Captivating and brilliantly performed by Roberts and Franco, Nerve exceeded my expectations to become one of the most tense, adrenaline-packed films of the summer. In a blockbuster season that lacked originality, Nerve brought it in abundance, dressing it up in a visually-spectacular package that is well acted, well directed, well edited, thought-provoking and intriguing.

The Shallows

I was trying to kill a bit of time, hence the reason why I went to see this movie, not expecting much. I was actually surprised at the quality of the filming locations, the camera work, the special effects, and the lack of any serious plot holes or stretches of the imagination.

A young woman goes surfing on a "secret" beach in Mexico and discovers that she has unknowingly entered into the feeding ground of a great white shark.

The comparisons to "Jaws" will be unavoidable. Definitely not a terrible way to spend 85 minutes of your time. Grab some popcorn, for sure!

Jason Bourne

This movie made me want to leave after half an hour, and kill myself after 1. I am a huge Bourne fan I was very exited for Matt Damon's return to the Bourne franchise. Also there was fresh face of Alicia Vikander and not so fresh face of Tommy Lee Jones and Vincent Cassel as the bad guy so what can go wrong? Well it turns out if you have a horrible script, you are left with the biggest disappointment in the cinema this year.

So to conclude : Do not see this movie!

Star Trek Beyond

This is 2 hours of your life that you will never get back.

So, where to start? First off the story is so thin and seems like a child wrote it. It has no depth and right from the beginning you feel basically nothing for the bad guys or the good guys, and there are so many holes in the story.

There is quite bad CGI during the whole movie. In every action packed scene especially the fighting the camera moves around so much it is hard to grasp what is happening. But even with this shaky camera trick it's impossible to miss how utterly bad these scenes are.

The only thing decent with this movie are some of the actors and their dialog. Everything else, from story to script to CGI is just garbage.

Im sorry I like Star Trek I really do, but this movie is not worth seeing in the cinema.
