A bit hit and miss for me. I enjoyed the movie up until the ending. They didn't really explain anything and it had no long term effect on anything. Just a bit of lazy writing. Other than that it was excellent.

If ya don't like sci-fi movies though ya won't like it, but it does have one of the better scary beast sort of things i have seen for a little while.

Bro, sausage fest films are good the best. If you want to see T&A, simply open a new tab of visit one of the thousands of "abcTUBE" or "xyzHUB" sites there are.Oh yeah i forgot the disclaimer, the movie is not a sausage fest so you may not like it
I love bullets flying everywhere, cars speeding to the point where they break the sound barrier, explosions coming in an elevator shaft sending the flames bursting through the top of a building... ANYTHING that has to do with Karmichaels getting cunted.

Yep. The females get pretty fucked up. There was also one scene that made me laugh a little. Without giving away any real spoilers, they find the site from the previous all male squad and the soldier chick picks up the M249 machine gun and says something like, "No way. Way too heavy". I instantly thought, "Well the men didn't have issues with it"haha don't worry mate, unlike quite a few films lately it's certainly not like a female empowerment film, so ya safe
Funny thing though. The cast is almost entirely female and that was deliberate. The after testing they decided to release it to Netflix rather than the cinemas. Reviews have been generally favourable but I listened to Tripe J review it and they spent most of the review saying how sexist Hollywood is for not releasing the movie at the cinemas. The funny part being that this isn't the first blockbuster style movie that's been released straight to Netflix and it won't be the last. This is the trend that movies are taking and it has nothing to do with sexism.

Funny thing about that. Science tells us that men are naturally stronger physically (thanks to testosterone) but it also tells us that women are generally better at biology, chemistry and other similar science based subjects while men are better at engineering.

Honestly I think you'll be laughing through a lot of it. It's basically women getting fucked up and backstabbing each other. I thought that aspect of it was very well done. They have a female who spent years in the military who happens to be able to shoot really well, but she's not going to do anything that requires real physical strength. It was pretty realistic in that sense. They didn't try to make the women seem superhuman or anything.

Not terrible car movies, cheesy car movies, with extra cheddar.
For example, Vehicle 19 and Highwaymen are fantastic, whereas Monolith and Corvette Summer suck floppy disks.

I may hold off watching Tomb Raider. I watched the IGN review and they pretty much pointed out everything wrong with the movie and it's pretty much what I feared including:
- In the 2013 game it's based on Lara Croft is a young archaeologist who is following her deceased father's research to find this mysterious island. She crashes on the island. She only has minimal hunting and survival training that she received from her father. She has to learn how to survive. It creates this amazing story about a woman learning to survive against all odds. But....
- In the movie her father isn't dead but is missing. She's searching for him. Before she starts the journey she has no interest in archaeology and she also happens to be a professional MMA fighter with archery skills. So instead of having an archaeologist learning to survive, we have a survivalist learning to like archaeology. Doesn't quite have the same ring to it
- The villain is rubbish. The review points out that he isn't remotely threatening and just seems out of place
- The story is pushed to the back and the movie focuses on average action sequences
