T-Meter Title | Year Review
3/5 86% Robot & Frank (2012) Genuinely funny and, by its closing chapter, heart-wrenching, [Jake] Schreier and [Christopher D.] Ford's debut feature is simultaneously one of the most safely uncontroversial and idiosyncratically lovely small scale sci-fi movies in a while. - SciFiNow EDIT

3/5 94% Room 237 (2013) The presentation is all fairly straight-faced and largely without comment, with only mischievous uses of accompanying footage serving as a deadpan riposte to some of the more obviously insane theories. - SciFiNow EDIT

2/5 6% The Devil Inside (2012) Without much of a storyline to carry it on, all we're left with is a barrage of meaningless encounters, migraine-inducing camera-work and populated by characters in which you lack any real emotional investment. - SciFiNow EDIT

4/5 73% Prometheus (2012) Prometheus is a mesmerising collision of theological angst, going further than Alien in beating on HP Lovecraft's tentacle doorknocker. - SciFiNow EDIT

4/5 70% The Wolverine (2013) [Jackman has] grown into the role - carrying around a rough hemp sack of weariness, regret, determination and anger with each twitch of his scowl or line around his eyes. - SciFiNow EDIT

3/5 86% X-Men: First Class (2011) That it comes with a real sense of charm, warmth and fun -- long since strangers to this particular franchise -- is a bonus. - SciFiNow EDIT

4/5 92% Marvel's The Avengers (2012) [Marvel's The Avengers] is such a pure and unadulterated comic-book movie that it will bring you to tears. - SciFiNow EDIT
