Avatar

I just have to begin by saying that I LOVED THIS MOVIE. I have always liked fantasy/sci-fi films, but I have to admit that many of them are just poorly made. Avatar, however, is so well thought and so perfectly constructed that you just have to stick to your chair and let the beautiful images on the screen marvel you to limits I have not experienced maybe since the Lord of the Rings. I think the movie is very creative in its extraterrestrial world concept, the characters are very lovable, the make up and special effects are just great and it has enough action and drama to keep everyone interested. Very recommendable.

The hangover

I usually hate this kind of comedy, where everything that happens is so absurd, you have to wonder how the writers though they could pull it off. However, I think that this film did succeed at being absurdly funny. The characters are very charming, and you can't help but relate to their situation. I had fun.

Beyond a reasonable doubt

This movie really felt like a B-movie from start to "how long you can get watching it"... It really feels like a stiff, low budget, bad acted, horribly scripted movie. Do not waste any time with this.

Moon

This movie is not a common sci-fi film. It is not full of special effects, or weird extraterrestrial beings or tons of complicated universes and twisted plots. On the contrary, for most this movie can be a very dull and boring sci-fi movie, because it has just one character, almost no-action and no-special effects. The reason I liked it is because the great performance of Sam Rockwell. I also think the atmosphere of loneliness and desperation were really well accomplished. I enjoyed this movie and I recommend it to those who like character movies.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

I have heard that most guys find Kristen Stewart really hot. However, I would like to see in the role of Bella a maybe less attractive actress but a more skillful one. Really, sometimes the reason to go to see a movie lays beyond watching someone pretty on the big screen. In my case, I really liked the books, but watching the movies has been a real nightmare. The actors might be hot, but they have not clue how to act and the movies feel completely fake.

My sister's keeper

For a very "cry your eyes out" movie, this film felt very disconnected and cold to me. I hope the book really delivers the appropriate feelings for such a drama, the movie does not.

G.I. Joe: The rise of Cobra

There are so many bad things going on with this movie. But my main 2 questions are: How could all these actors agree to be in this nonsensical movie and how could they make it go for so long? I mean,  none of it made any sense, the acting was bad, the plot was bad, the lines were to feel sorry for...what a bunch of crap.

Is anybody there?

I rented this movie because I really admired Michael Caine's work. Even though his performance was not disappointing, the overall movie was. The plot has been very exploited and this movie added nothing more to it except Caine's good acting. It was a predictable and forgettable movie.

Star Trek

This movie is a perfect example of why you cant dismiss any movie based only on its genre. I mean, even if you are not a sci-fi fan this is a very good film. Its not just that the effects are great, but that the story is well constructed and developed. The movie takes the time to walk us through the story of the Enterprise's crew from the beginning, giving us the necessary background to understand their relationships, reactions and getting us to care about them. There is also plenty of good action and acting and a lot of fun involved.

Terminator Salvation

This is an entertaining action film. Not as exciting as the first Terminator, but considering how many movies with special effects and futuristic/robotic plots have come after the first Terminator, is normal that this is just another action/sci-fi film among many. Nothing special, but not too boring as to dismiss it completely.

(500) days of summer

This is a very pleasant romantic movie. It is the story of a love that was not meant to be. The story of how a broken heart make us think that things were much more important than they actually were. It is a very realistic view of how being in love just blows everything out of proportion.

Precious

I am sure a lot of people are going to avoid this movie because it is not a "feel good" movie AT ALL. On the contrary, watching Precious' life unfold on the screen you really wonder what else could go wrong in someone's life. How is it possible to  believe that a person can really have such a horrible life? Specially when all the bad stuff done to her is coming from the two people who should love her and protect her from all the painful things in life. I could not help but wonder how could this person could go on living. But then, that is the magic of this movie, what makes all the painful things you have to watch worth it: Precious has hope and so much love for her kids that she wants to give them exactly everything that has not been given to her during her whole life. A tough and very human movie.

District 9

I really enjoyed this film. For me, more than a sci-film focused on extraterrestrial's being horrible and mean creatures, this is a movie about human beings and how ugly and violent and prejudiced and greedy they can get when they confront something so different from them that they become so scared that they have to completely destroy it. This could perfectly be a movie about all the terrible episodes of our own history when horrible things are done because differences are not explored and dialogue is never even attempted to understand them. It is also a movie that shows us what happens when completely opposite cultures get in a survival situation that always leads to the kind of abuse and discrimination shown in this movie. All of these is also accomplished through a very realistic style that makes it all more sad and shameful.

2012

Definitely an expensive movie. I can see how an apocalyptic movie with so many special effects and nature after nature disasters can really attract the masses. However, the story was really hard to believe and it was just too much tragedy after tragedy to really enjoy any of it. I just think this movie could have ended 1 hour earlier and leave it at a more believable scenario.

Nothing like the holidays

This movie was such a bored. Nothing in it was engaging at all. I guess there was just not enough chemistry going on between the characters to make you be interested in their story.
