[Alien is] at an A level in every way but one: its plot, which is that of a B movie.

Alien’s A-level directing, acting, visuals, and sound can no longer quite cover for its B-movie premise ... and “idiot plot,” [but] it’s a solidly good movie even by today’s standards[.]

[T]he insipid and increasingly absurd Ad Astra feels more like an art house film than a monomythic adventure with the highest physical, psychological, and philosophical stakes.

Happy Death Day 2U ... feels like a bland, unfunny episode of The Big Bang Theory TV show with Jessica Rothe’s Tree standing in for Kaley Cuoco’s Penny.

Ready Player One had the potential to be one of the greatest SF movies of all time. Instead, it’s a mediocre one.
