Cloud Atlas is a big, ambitious, heartfelt movie. The craft on display is indisputable, and its themes are richer than is being credited. If there's one thing I want from a three-hour movie, it's that it be hobbit-free. If there are two things, it's that it be this engaging and rich. Almost makes me forgive the Wachowskis for the Matrix sequels. But not quite.
Looper
posted by Brian McDonough
More like a Philip K. Dick adaptation than any Philip K. Dick adaptation, Looper is a smart and assured sci-fi thriller that disdains 3D and overkill effects in favor of character and story. It's like Inception's mellower kid brother: Not as manic, easier to hold a conversation with, but with some of the same charm.
Untitled Web Series ...

The Inspector and Piper arrive on Second New Old Earth 7! Travis Richey brings his beloved Community character "Inspector Spacetime" to the web. NBC won't let him call it "Inspector Spacetime," because that would be a common-sense way to promote a valuable property and engender goodwill with their fans, and that's against corporate policy -- but we all know it's Inspector Spacetime, no matter what the suits make him call it.

Total Recall (2012)
posted by Brian McDonough
Total Recall has a nice look, but too much monotonous violence and not enough brains or heart. This is a lovely film to look at, and the story isn't as unbelievably incoherent as The Dark Knight Rises, but it's definitely underbaked, the work of someone who knows about "plot" but not much else.

Prometheus
posted by Brian McDonough
Do we judge this film by the stratospheric expectations? (In which case, it would have to end war and famine.) By its own goals? Those seem high, too, and the film falls short. As two hours of entertainment? If so, there's a lot to praise there, especially the visuals. If only the script was as masterful as the director ...
