It sounds like one to avoid or, at least, not make a concerted effort to go and see. Over the past week, I have been to the cinema to see:
Jason Bourne: Considering how
The Bourne Ultimatum concluded, this was entirely unnecessary. It was also overlong, some of the action sequences were so frenetic they were impossible to follow, and it didn't seem to have the focus and drive of the first three films. However, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy it.
Finding Dory: I love
Finding Nemo, so went to see this with a small amount of trepidation. I needn't have worried as it was an utter delight; the voice acting was spot-on for every character, the storylines were beautifully developed and told, and all the story and character arcs were deeply involving and made me emotional several times. If and when you see it, stay until the very end of the credits for a brilliant extra scene which is a great callback to the previous film.
Piper, the short which preceded the film, was as good as Pixar have made in a long time.
Star Trek Beyond: I didn't think it was as good as the previous two films in the rebooted franchise, but it is very well directed by Justin Lin, the ensemble cast are all extremely good – the dedications to Leonard Nimoy and Anton at the end were welcome and emotive – and it is generally a thoroughly enjoyable and engrossing piece of sci-fi action.
I hope to see
The BFG this weekend, a film I have not read or heard anything about, but still expect to love.
