Gattaca

A solid sci-fi premise grounded by deep character development and some excellent performances.

Captain Marvel

Captain Marvel is played perfectly and looks set to be a fitting lead for the next generation of the MCU, even if some of the origin felt a little, well, unoriginal.

Star Trek: Discovery

A bold new direction for a beloved franchise. It falters a little, but the characters it creates are interesting and the stories are solidly entertaining. For fans, a worthy watch; for everyone else, enjoyable enough.

The Man in the High Castle

A brutally tense and depressing show with a great cast of characters, some exceptional plot lines, and beautiful cinematography. The sci-fi is still a little odd, but the alt-history is intriguing and the world-building brilliant.

A Wizard of Earthsea

A masterclass in world building that keeps you engaged, even if the central mystery feels a little obvious in a modern light.

How to Train Your Dragon 3

Neatly ties off all the outstanding questions about the world of dragons, and does so with absolutely stunning visuals

Daredevil

The first season is astounding, riveting, memorable, funny and utterly fantastic. The third almost lives up to that praise. The second has its moments. Overall, its an extremely solid take on the Man Without Fear and must-watch television for superhero fans.

Tim Minchin: So F**king Rock

An enjoyable but not particularly memorable live show from a brilliant performer.

Oblivion

There's nothing specifically wrong here, it's just that nothing ever works and the whole concept is tremendously dull. Also, apparently, completely forgettable.

The Favourite

An incredibly well-balanced film with a phenomenal cast. Worth delving into to really understand the nuance.

The Crimes of Grindelwald

Too preoccupied with building a story out of the ashes of the fairly self-contained initial movie, resulting in an (albeit pretty) muddled mess.

Mr & Mrs Smith

Action-packed fun that can just be enjoyed for what it is and the great cast it has, plot holes aside.
