We Said: “Assuming this
turns out to be a trilogy, because that’s what every blockbuster aspires to be,
Pacific Rim Uprising is a surprisingly upbeat middle chapter without the doom ‘n
gloom. Nobody is going to go home smarter for watching this one but you could
do a Hell of a lot worse. Did you see that last Transformers movie?” Rating: 3.5

We Said: “Unsane is unlike any movie I’ve ever seen. Legendary
director Steven Soderbergh has decided to abandon typical Hollywood filmmaking
styles with this movie. Instead, he shot it all on an iPhone 7 with harsh
natural lighting, and bizarre angles you can only accomplish by throwing your
phone across a room. Now, I’ve seen weird iPhone projects before, just never on
this scale. […] This high profile nature
is part of what makes Unsane so bizarre, and ultimately rather off-putting.” Rating: 2.5
