…the biggest letdown is the wafer-thin plot and some silly dialogues marring an otherwise decent story.
Partly based on the BBC’s 1999 TV documentary mini-series bearing the same name, the only thing that works best for this film is the successful melding of CGI dinosaurs in live-action landscape settings.

While its predecessor had more emotional impact, this second helping of Cloudy… is more adventurous and fun, while losing precious little of the overall charm of the characters and location. With plenty of ‘tasty’ surprises, the umpteen food references make it as much a gustatory delight as it is uplifting.

Makarand Deshpande’s kooky cop character is genuinely funny, but corny lines aside, one of Jackpot’s few redeeming factors here is that it moves along quickly.

The film is supremely accessible and enjoyable, even if you who haven’t read Tolkien. And surprisingly enough, to keep things from getting heavy, there are more than a few laugh-aloud moments courtesy the Dwarves. This one’s a packed-to-the-gills entertainer from start to finish.

The film has graphic violence and perversion, but there is no take-away. It leaves you trying to nail down what the point to this remake really was.

Based on 2011’s movie, Starbuck, this is Vaughn’s vehicle all the way. All said and done, the movie has its heart in the right place.

Overall, the feel of the movie is relaxed and Turteltaub does a good job of breaking the mould of onscreen senior citizen stereotypes. This Old Boy’s Club still knows how to party!

This movie is also about sibling rivalry as well as a long-distance love story with an intergalactic twist. Don’t miss this one.

Digging a bit deeper, another question is posed – that if you were given the choice to kill someone who you know would return to kill you and your friends one day, would you go ahead and get them before they got you?
You may not like this film if you don’t enjoy sci-fi movies set in space.

This movie has some heartbreaking moments and is moving, but on the lighter side, it is also somehow reassuring that we are never alone. Amour treats the subject of love in a manner that has seldom before been visited on screen.
