Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018) 88% 3/5 EDIT “Entertaining, and occasionally inspired, but Ralph Breaks The Internet is too often content to achieve a quick laugh, rather than exploring the themes its set-up suggests.” – Empire Magazine Nov 14, 2018 Full Review They Shall Not Grow Old (2018) 99% 4/5 EDIT “An emotionally rich documentary that wows both as a technical achievement and an unforgettable portrait of a terrible period of 20th century history.” – Empire Magazine Nov 9, 2018 Full Review Final Score (2018) 71% 2/5 EDIT “It's let down by lapses into cliché and by simply not being audacious enough with its action set-pieces.” – Empire Magazine Sep 6, 2018 Full Review Hotel Artemis (2018) 57% 4/5 EDIT “Stylishly realised against a backdrop of violence and faded Hollywood glamour, Drew Pearce's vision of the near-future is laced with intrigue and dark humour.” – Empire Magazine Jul 11, 2018 Full Review Adrift (2018) 69% 2/5 EDIT “The problem comes from a script that fails to truly engage you in their burgeoning relationship and so, in turn, lessens the impact of their later struggles.” – Empire Magazine Jun 25, 2018 Full Review 7 Days in Entebbe (2018) 24% 2/5 EDIT “Neither an exciting thriller nor a worthy examination of the human aspect of hostage situations, *Entebbe* tries to do both, an approach that ultimately sinks the film.” – Empire Magazine May 9, 2018 Full Review Ready Player One (2018) 71% 4/5 EDIT “Spielberg balances sugar-rush nostalgia with an involving story to create a pure, uncynical, cinematic ride that recaptures the magic of his early films.” – Empire Magazine Mar 20, 2018 Full Review Annihilation (2018) 88% 5/5 EDIT “Drawing on mythology and body horror, Annihilation is an intelligent film that asks big questions and refuses to provide easy answers. Sci-fi at its best.” – Empire Magazine Mar 13, 2018 Full Review Early Man (2018) 80% 3/5 EDIT “An often amusing reimagining of Bronze Age history 
that, while it doesn't quite match the best of Aardman, is still solid family entertainment.” – Empire Magazine Jan 23, 2018 Full Review A Woman's Life (2016) 82% 3/5 EDIT “Complex, poised and beguilingly earthy. Stephane Brizé's decade-spanning epic is a sensitively performed, memorably fragmentary look at one woman undone by the feckless men in her life.” – Empire Magazine Jan 9, 2018 Full Review The Post (2017) 88% 4/5 EDIT “Set nearly half a century ago, but remarkably prescient in these "fake news" times, The Post is an engaging and masterfully acted tale sure to be in the running come the Oscars.” – Empire Magazine Dec 7, 2017 Full Review Mudbound (2017) 97% 4/5 EDIT “With great performances across the board and a socially relevant story, Mudbound will resonate long after the credits roll.” – Empire Magazine Nov 19, 2017 Full Review Brawl in Cell Block 99 (2017) 90% 4/5 EDIT “Brawl In Cell Block 99 takes its time with its set-up, but that only makes the action that follows all the more effective. And Vaughn as an action hero works surprisingly well.” – Empire Magazine Oct 19, 2017 Full Review The Snowman (2017) 7% 2/5 EDIT “A case of a missed opportunity. It references all the right films, but The Snowman comes off as a pale imitation.” – Empire Magazine Oct 12, 2017 Full Review The Mountain Between Us (2017) 39% 3/5 EDIT “Two compelling leads and a mix of adventure and romance. It's a pleasant experience, if not one that will linger long in the memory.” – Empire Magazine Oct 2, 2017 Full Review Brimstone (2016) 45% 4/5 EDIT “Brutal in its depictions of violence, Brimstone is tough to watch at times, but never less than gripping, even as the clock creeps up to the 150-minute mark.” – Empire Magazine Sep 29, 2017 Full Review Goodbye Christopher Robin (2017) 64% 4/5 EDIT “A witty and touching father-son tale. And at its centre: a startling debut from Will Tilston, whose compelling performance ensures its emotional moments land successfully.” – Empire Magazine Sep 21, 2017 Full Review Borg vs. McEnroe (2017) 84% 3/5 EDIT “A sports film with an arthouse sensibility. It benefits greatly from its chosen subject matter - two of the most remarkable characters in sporting history - but only manages to truly get under the skin of one of them.” – Empire Magazine Sep 18, 2017 Full Review American Assassin (2017) 34% 2/5 EDIT “There are 15 more Mitch Rapp books, but a sequel feels unlikely.” – Empire Magazine Sep 13, 2017 Full Review The Limehouse Golem (2016) 74% 2/5 EDIT “A great cast is let down by a script that fails to provide a compelling mystery to solve. Never mind as a big-screen production, this would be disappointing as a BBC mini-series.” – Empire Magazine Aug 31, 2017 Full Review Despicable Me 3 (2017) 58% 3/5 EDIT “The third Despicable Me film chronologically is also the third-best in terms of quality. But it has just enough energy and flashes of inspiration to suggest it's a franchise that could run and run.” – Empire Magazine Jun 26, 2017 Full Review Churchill (2017) 50% 3/5 EDIT “A fascinating but flawed portrait of a fascinating but flawed man. However, with Cox so good, it's a surprise Churchill isn't being held back until awards season.” – Empire Magazine Jun 15, 2017 Full Review War Machine (2017) 48% 2/5 EDIT “A confused comedy that wastes the promise of its premise. And Brad Pitt's performance, sadly, belongs in a different film entirely.” – Empire Magazine May 29, 2017 Full Review Unforgettable (2017) 29% 2/5 EDIT “Scuppered by a lazy script that fails to effectively build tension, Unforgettable lives up to its name, but not for the right reasons.” – Empire Magazine Apr 20, 2017 Full Review Saban's Power Rangers (2017) 51% 2/5 EDIT “Fails to capitalise on its good intentions to subvert and modernise the franchise.” – Empire Magazine Mar 23, 2017 Full Review
