3DD!3

Raily is going through puberty and it's an emotional whirlwind. A new console, new emotions. Anxiety as the main instigator of personality change feels incredibly realistic. More mature issues than last time, the parents may be more affected than the kids. Trying to fit in, stand out and remain a good person.

A gripping account of a wrongly convicted man and his life in a penal colony in French Guiana. Well acted, both Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek give some of the best performances of their careers. Beautiful music, beautiful visuals. I haven't seen the original, but I'll definitely give it a try eventually.

A brilliant premise made into a whirlwind of action combined with funny gags, but also a touching story about parents and children. The Lightbringer saga has a wonderful visual style and a functional world that, at least initially, follows the kill or be killed rules. The animals comment quite eternally and cynically on the deaths of their comrades and take the robot for a monster. The themes of caring for an orphaned caterpillar, surrogate parenting, rewriting code, getting to know the denizens of the forest, the role of outsiders in society all run like clockwork. Maybe the multiple ending could have been handled better, but the positive feelings prevail. First movie with my daughter in the theater and she was thrilled... she just wants to be a robot now.
