Rating	Title \| Year	Author	Quote
	Dunkirk (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	...there are maybe ten minutes in the middle where I felt my attention waning-and yet I'd hate to discourage Nolan from trying to take this approach more often. Posted Jul 19, 2017 Edit critic review
	Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	...we're not left with the fear of looming apocalypse or Thanos/Darkseid waiting in the wings, but rather a sense that our best selves can overcome obstacles both personal and planet-threatening. Posted Jul 12, 2017 Edit critic review
	War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	If ape-on-human action is all you crave, this War delivers, but by comparison to its ancestors, and even Fox's own Logan this year, it comes up shallow Posted Jul 11, 2017 Edit critic review
	Cars 3 (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	On the whole, though, Cars 3 feels like a typical sports movie: not meant for me, but amusing enough to keep me from falling asleep. Posted Jun 14, 2017 Edit critic review
	The Mummy (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	...there are quite a few laughs to be had, some of which are definitely intentional. Posted Jun 07, 2017 Edit critic review
	Wonder Woman (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	Every DC Universe movie so far has juggled themes of love versus duty...But Wonder Woman is the first to suggest that love IS duty; if you love at all, you must fight to preserve that in the world. Posted May 31, 2017 Edit critic review
	Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	When the opening sequence of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales was done, I had a huge smile on my face. I wish I could tell you it lasted. Posted May 24, 2017 Edit critic review
	Alien: Covenant (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	Like Alien 3, Covenant has plenty to interest, but not a whole lot to scare. Posted May 16, 2017 Edit critic review
	Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	Overall, it feels like spending time with old friends again, and the use of depth and size contrasts in the 3D is spectacular, if a lot to take in at times. Posted Apr 27, 2017 Edit critic review
	The Fate of the Furious (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	New-to-franchise director F. Gary Gray mostly maintains a look we've come to expect: the car chases are kinetic and exciting, while the out-of-vehicle action sequences are chopped and edited to hell Posted Apr 12, 2017 Edit critic review
	Kong: Skull Island (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	Your inner child, if you still have one, should love it. Emphasis on the "if." Posted Mar 08, 2017 Edit critic review
	Beauty and the Beast (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	...am I supposed to be rooting for Gaston? Posted Mar 03, 2017 Edit critic review
	Logan (2017)	Luke Y. Thompson	Here, at last, was a Wolverine story that felt like the comics I remembered. And not just that: it's a comic-book superhero movie that genuinely pushes the form forward Posted Mar 01, 2017 Edit critic review
