  • That’s not to say that The First Omen isn’t a bad movie, on the contrary, if you are a fan of the 1976 movie it fits in nicely with the timeline of that movie, the story isn’t really that amazing but it works for what is needed to not only set up The Omen but[...]
  • 'The First Omen' has a lot of cool imagery and circles a message we should all be on board with. However, it buckles under the weight of the films it references, including the original 'Omen'. When it does get out of its own way, it's a fine time. Content collapsed.
  • Fast-forward nearly 30 years, and a now-adult Atlas (Jennifer Lopez) is leading the hunt for Harlan. The world’s nations have banded together to fight back against the AI forces, forcing Harlan to flee the planet. In the opening scenes, Atlas interrogates an AI soldier, learns where Harlan has been hiding all this time, and joins[...]
  • The movie is set in a near-ish future where humans coexist with their subservient robot companions. In this world, one AI named Harlan (Simu Liu) defies his programming, embarking on a quest for freedom. Harlan was the creation of a brilliant scientist who raised him as a sibling to her young daughter, Atlas. Naturally, Atlas[...]
  • There isn’t a single image of note in Atlas, and the film will never once overcome its “fake movie” allegations, with characters so thinly-developed and poorly acted you would think they signed up to do an elongated SNL parody, which would be the only way to describe the out-of-body experience you’ll have watching this.
  • One scene, was dead wrong historically and theologically and reveals much of what is unsettling and controversial about this movie. After Jesus is beaten with rods, the captain calls a halt to the beating, apparently thinking that Jesus has been beaten enough. Jesus, however, struggles back to his feet, clearly defying his tormentors and virtually[...]
  • In the film, Pilate expresses the fear that Caiaphas will start a rebellion against Rome. Historically, this is highly unlikely. The priests were among the most politically conservative of all Jews, especially in their view of Rome. No rebellion against Rome ever started with priests, and there is no evidence that Caiaphas was threatening rebellion.[...]
  • "He was wounded for our transgressions, crushed for our iniquities; by His wounds we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5). This is the verse that begins the Passion of the Christ (2004), which is the story that director, co-writer, and co-producer, Mel Gibson tells in this film. These are important questions in light of the film’s realism.[...]

A film, also called a movie, motion picture, moving picture, or photoplay, is a series of still images that, when shown on a screen, create the illusion of moving images. This optical illusion causes the audience to perceive continuous motion between separate objects viewed in rapid succession. The process of filmmaking is both an art and an industry.

Movie reviews and critiques follow roughly the same format as the book reviews and critiques. Outside of academia, movie reviews and critiques are very different.

For example, film reviews inform prospective consumers by providing a timely evaluation of films currently on offer. Reviews include a brief plot synopsis while avoiding “spoilers,” identify any stars associated with the project, indicate the conventions of genre and scale within which the film operates, and pronounce a clear assessment of the film. The review is directed at a general audience who has NOT seen the film and attempts to answer the question: is this film worth my time and money?

Film critiques are informed analyses and are enriched by multiple viewings. Film analysis isolates and examines FORMAL techniques and patterns within a film in order to clarify and deepen our understanding of the film’s aesthetic and thematic concerns. Readers of film critique expect timely and relevant reflections on contemporary culture, but they’re also informed by a deeper understanding of film history, technique, and criticism, knowledge that primes them to consider and critique the writer’s position on the film and its connections to other aspects of culture and politics.
