Transcendence may be intellectually half-baked but it poses some serious queries about the boons and the banes of technology.

It might test your patience but if you choose to stay with the film, you will be rewarded adequately.

Oculus is a story that has its fair share of goosebump-inducing moments but it would have been told better if it were cut short.

Divergent is clearly made for its already existent fan base, with the best loved bits and pieces of the book shoved on to screen with hardly any adhesive to keep them together.

Rio 2 features some lovely, complex animation and a vivid, cheerful colour palette but is a one-time watch at best. Strictly confined within the box and The Formula, Rio 2 might be the Ram-Leela of animation/Hollywood when it comes to visuals but as far as children’s films go, it remains less innovative.

Youngistaan neither says something new nor does it reinforce time-tested wisdom in a way that you actually want to pay attention to it. It makes claims like Modi, implements policies like Rahul and has a persistent cough like Kejriwal, and I certainly wouldn’t vote for it.

Pompeii is one of those rare films for which I am glad that a 3D format was used. If cheesy, overdone, masala flicks are your kind of fare, this is your kind of film. For the rest of us, Pompeii just blows.

The highest point of Darr @ The Mall is the soundtrack- highly predictable, but it is the only thing that keeps the horror factor up. The songs fail to generate interest, except for one – Pinacolada; and as the song goes, “zindagi hai mehngi sharaab”.

In an attempt to make it relevant to our darker, more violent times, director Jose Padilha loses sight of the point he wishes to make through the film. RoboCop tries to be something it is not and in that process, ruins everything it could have been.

Lone Survivor is Hollywood’s Lakshya — except, without the spunk, the entertainment factor and Hrithik Roshan. This is not a film. This is a test; And of all the people I sat in the theatre with, I think I have emerged the lone survivor.
