The last movie I watched was Marvel's Black Panther and I would rate it 8/10. It is a fantastic film.

Black waters
The movie is about the company that invented Teflon.
About how the made a material so resistant that in fact it could not be destroyed.
When ingested, the body has no way to process the substance so it stores it in the body and that eventually turns into cancer.
The company manufactured Teflon for years and it contaminated rivers with factory waste causing a massive outbreak of cancer and deformity in people living in the vicinity of the factory.
The thing is, the contaminated water and the residue in the air afected the entire world
And now its one of the main reasons why cáncer its such a common disease
I think its a movie everyone should see at least once. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Last movie I watch was Doctor Sleep. I have no idea what the rating was but I would recommend it, good for a slow long movie. I enjoyed the take they did on it it did keep me on guard.

I saw the new Wonder Woman movie and was disappointed. I'm the type of person who values the soundtrack deeply, but this time, even Hans Zimmer couldn't save it. The music was generic and insipid, the plotline had holes big enough to drive that caravan of Middle Eastern vehicles through, and the writers either didn't have an elementary understanding of basic science or thought their audience to be stupid.

Things that really rubbed me the wrong way included ignoring the fact that fireworks are literally pieces of burning metal, so unless Wonder Woman's invisibility also comes with a physical shield, flying an aircraft through fireworks is basically the same as flying through anti-aircraft flak gunfire. And that villain in the end going MORE, MORE ... how lame can you get?

Last movie I watched was Marvel's ''Thor: Dark World''. While it's not as good as the first Thor movie, it is still bloody brilliant! 9/10 easy. But, maybe I just love Chris Hemsworth too much...

I saw the Arrival yesterday and it blew my mind. I loved the cinematography and its beautiful, harrowing soundtrack. I would give it a 9 or a 10, but this was one of the best movies I saw recently.
A process cannot be understood by stopping it. Understanding must move with the flow of the process, must join it and flow with it.

The only person who can sympathize with and understand you, is you. So, be good to yourself.

The last movie I saw was "Arrival", which is based on the short story "story of your life" by ted Chiang. It's a first contact with aliens. 12 spaceships land on various points of the world and no one knows why or if they are a danger. A linguistics expert is hired to try and learn their language and discover what they want. It's a very good movie. It's loyal to the book and adds the visuals and the amazing sounds. It's one of those movies that makes you think.

For me, it really doesn't matter which movie it is.. I see Chris in it, I make sure to watch it with rapt attention

Not a science person, so didn't really notice any of that. In all, it was a good movie for me. Especially the part where she talked down the everyone in the world to embrace their truth.
Not to forget... The amazon games in the beginning got me worked up and excited.
