The new Captain Marvel movie takes us back to the 1990s with a look at some of the technologies of the day. Do people still use pagers?
We have robots that can walk and run but still a long way to go before the technology matches the cybernetic skills in the new science fiction film Alita: Battle Angel.
The new film from Moonlight writer and director Barry Jenkins delivers on high expectations.
Trailblazing US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is known to many as the ‘Notorious RBG’. But the new film On the Basis of Sex is a muted portrayal of her.
Some of the best examples of horror and fantasy genre films have emerged from Australia. Unfortunately, The School is not one of them.
While queer movies don’t necessarily have to be made by queer filmmakers, Boy Erased is a safe film. It is finely made albeit heavy-handed in its melodrama.
The new film is a down-to-Earth portrayal of astronaut Neil Armstrong and our complex relationship with the Moon.
Venom is an engrossing science fiction film, which balances intense action sequences with disarming humour. Viewing it in 4DX, however, did not add to the experience.
Jirga has a clear message to the Taliban, Westerners, and other Afghans - even in the horror of warfare you can’t escape moral accountability.
Zanny Begg’s film The Beehive, about the 1975 murder of Juanita Nielsen, dismantles the idea that documentaries can impart unequivocal knowledge about the world.
Scientists and soldiers deal with alien invaders in the new Predator movie, but how does the science stack up? With brains and brawn you’d think they’d know how to keep an alien tied down to a table.

In this grim and often bloody tale of dog-groomer Marcello, the canines steal every scene they are in.
The Meg has all the typical monster movie cliches including some terrifically bad dialogue. But what about the science?
Like a good pop ballad, I Used To Be Normal is energetic, colourful and masterfully anchored by a deep and earnest sentimentality.
Plagued by production woes for 25 years, The Man Who Killed Don Quixote embraces the spirit of its 17th-century source material. But unlike de Cervantes, Gilliam uses the female characters as props for the hero’s story.
