This installment of the series focused on the new world of futuristic designs and tools taking over the old world of emotions and raw power.

Perhaps it was a critical view of the war itself, or Alex just did not feel like a better excuse was plausible or novel.

It is a very close approximation of the three lives in the space and time that cinema as a medium works with.

It’s not scary anymore…It is already a big challenge to scare audiences with horror films; the standard techniques are not working any more.

So overall, this film leaves you a bit cold in the chair, if you are not the one who is watching this as the first film of the series. At the heart of the series lies this very idea of cleansing the earth and rebuilding it from the ashes of the destruction so required.

I think it is a good film to begin the year with; it lends you enough optimism not just at a personal but also at a universal level. Who knows what will happen when we actually set out on such journeys, by the time we get any news from the spaceship about its location and its status we would have waited decades or even a century after its departure and for those who would be on those ships, whatever happens, they can only enjoy the ride while it lasts, who knows what awaits them in those worlds.

Sing might be a good one if you think that stepping into the New Year is no big deal, it’s the same thing as last year only the digits on the calendar have changed. But if you are like me, who wants to look at things afresh and the New Year holds special significance, then I think you want to see something that helps you make peace with the past and give hope for the future. This one might fall flat on both premises.

The movie seems like a glorified re-enactment of the actual incidence, and it quickly gets to the point.

The only success that this film may claim to have is that all ghosts are nothing but the brain playing tricks due to parasomnia.

Scott Derrickson’s work is fascinating and bewildering. His treatment of the story and understanding of the space-time continuum is beyond what I have experienced, and it makes me shiver at the possibilities of what could be done with this understanding. Doctor Strange also has a lot of detail in its storytelling and iconography.
