Eh, sorry, gonna have to agree with critics that it was pretty bad. What makes it more painful is that last time with Bumblebee showed a lot of promise, but here they fell right back into spectacle over substance. We didn't need to go right back to a world-ending threat so soon. Maybe it needed to be split in 2, so we get a separate Beast Wars movie first, then later bring in Unicron.
I never thought we'd see the Beast Wars bots on the big screen, and sadly they weren't strong enough to overpower the suckage. Too bad.
Antiviral! Actually loved the movie and still don't get the really bad scores everywhere. Ending felt disappointing but besides that I think it's awesome, and I loved the whole concept of "celebrity culture gone wild", a fresh take on "dystopian future" for sure! Watch it!
Season of the witch
The Matrix 4. Could've been better if it wasn't missing 50% of the directing talent, but it's still a worthy sequel.
Mother Lode (1982)
A film about a man living alone and far away from civilization in a wooden hut, digging a mineshaft for years in search of gold. Very atmospheric and doesn't have any of putting moments in my opinion, despite the rating.
When I wanted to rewatch it 10 years later it was so hard to find that I had to make a post on a movie buff forum with a vague description from memory because I forgot the title.
