100 Word Review - In Time

Set in a future world where people don't age past 25 but instead are left with one year that they can either work to increase or squander away; In Time tells the Robin Hood style story of a man left with nothing aching to rebel against the system. Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, In Time can be taken as either socialist propaganda or a cautionary conservative tale, but however you take the film it will likely still measure up the same, an interesting premise, executed with mediocrity to create a fun but ultimately forgettable sci-fi feature.

100 Word Review - Immortals

Lightning never strikes twice, and unfortunately for the producers of 300 not even a god capable of hurling bolts from the heavens can bring them that spark again. The story finds a humble peasant Theseus who must rise to his destiny and stop a tyrannous king from releasing the titans in an act of revenge against the gods. As one would expect these looming circumstances are a breeding ground for slow-motion fights filled with cartoonish gore interlaced with the occasional poor acting break. Taking itself too seriously Immortals misses the mark for cheesy fun, and lands around just plain bad.
