Resident Evil is back with another installment of zombie apocalypse. Resident Evil: Afterlife is written and directed by Paul W. S. Anderson (just like the first movie of the series) and it was filmed in 3D. That’s right: filmed in 3D.

Inception
Inception is a science fiction film written and directed by Christopher Nolan (Memento, Batman Begins, The Dark Knight), but it’s also – on some level – a generic heist movie. Except the heist takes place in the subconscious. It's a really great premise: what if people could enter a shared dreamscape? And how safe would someone’s thoughts be inside a communal dream?

Predators
Predators is the second direct sequel to the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger film Predator, but it’s the fifth movie to feature the alien hunters. Sadly – even though the creatures have been featured in (dozens of games, almost two dozen comic book storylines and) multiple movies – the original film is the highlight of the franchise.

Avatar
This review won’t compare Avatar with any of the other “character in a new, strange culture” films like Fern Gully, The New World, The Last Samurai or Dances With Wolves… mainly because I’ve never seen any of those movies and the only part of Pocahontas that I remember is the excellent song “Colors of the Wind.” Also, everyone knows that Smu

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
You might think that Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen is a mere popcorn flick, but actually, it is the best film of 2009 and could very well be the best film of the decade. That statement is something you won’t read anywhere else and, unfortunately, it is a completely fabricated falsity.

Terminator: Salvation
The Terminator franchise had apparently fallen so far that it needed to be filled with new life and energy through a slight re-imagining. This fourth movie changes the timeline from the original films, loses the time travel aspect and essentially becomes a prequel where the technology of the machines is concerned.

Star Trek XI (2009)
The Star Trek franchise has slowly deteriorated over the years and someone finally decided that it was time for a reboot. (Technically, this version of Star Trek is more of a reimagining, but let’s not complicate matters.) And just in case you weren’t aware: any failing franchise can be rebooted after a few years… think “James Bond,” “Batman” or “Battlestar Galactica.” J.J.
