12 Years a Slave

12 Years a Slave directed by Steve McQueen portrays an incredibly true story based on the memoir of an African, Solomon Northup (Chiwetel Ejiofor) a free black man in New York during African slavery times who, in 1841, accepted employment as a violinist from two men claiming to be from a travelling circus. After a night of dining and wining with these deceiving men, Solomon had been drugged, kidnapped and sold into slavery, leaving behind a wife and two children.

Solomon in his time as a slave experienced physical brutality and degradation, unable to find a free man to listen to his protest or any person fearless enough to jeopardize their own well-being. However before he became property of Mr Edwin Epps (Michael Fassbender) a slave owner who prided himself in breaking the spirit of any disobedient slaves, he owned by a slave owner Master Ford (Benedict Cumberbatch) who showed unexpected kindness under the circumstances. However, even when faced with such brutality on Master Epps' plantation, Solomon’s dignity and strength could not be shattered in the face of such oppression.

The multiple Oscar winning film is not easy to watch, it delivers an interesting, appalling and tear-jerking sight into Slavery in America, however with the exemption of a somewhat distracting third-act cameo by Brad Pitt playing Bass, it is shown flawlessly in terms of steep narrative artistry. This is an important story, told with elegance, passion and conviction. 

Mad Max: Fury Road

Distraught Max thunders back on to our screens following a nonappearance of 30 years with maker George Miller at the haggle into a condition of diesel-smoke ridiculousness. CGI-pumped and ribcage-rattlingly boisterous, Mad Max: Fury Road has no truck with the fragile business of work or character improvement. What it has truck with is trucks — gigantic flame heaving beasts of each assortment. An auto stereo? What about a lorry-heap of drummers and a guitarist lashed to the front granulating out tireless whip metal. Blasting for foundation story? You ought to have asked before we cleared out.

The opening activity succession endures a full half-hour and there's scarcely delay for breath (or even petrol) after that. Truly, the film is one long pursue grouping, and not in the feeling of moderate smoldering pressure as in Duel, yet in one headlong hurry into who-knows-where, our legends sought after by a breathing apparatus wearing warlord — a far off cousin of Darth Vader and Bane — and his swarm.

As Max, Tom Hardy tries to crush in an execution from the Russell Crowe school of acting — snarled jokes between blasts, forehead for all time wrinkled, rotating amongst puzzlement and dyspepsia. He is frantic however essentially in the American sense — and he has motivation to be, continually attacked as he is by War Boys. These whitewashed, indoctrinated animals take after sun-timid Aussies who've tried too hard on the variable 50 or out-of-work orcs moved from Peter Jackson's New Zealand.

In any case, this is a strangely sidelined Max, shunted immovably into the traveler seat by a champion Charlize Theron. Etched cheekbones, held jaw, edited hair: she is Joan of Arc with a substantial merchandise vehicle permit. Her honorable mission, we in the long run learn, is to locate the mythical "Green Place" of her youth and securely convey her valuable stolen freight (how about we simply say her fight shielded juggernaut could do with a "child on board" sticker). A triumph for women's liberation, maybe? In any case, the film tries to have it both ways, thus we likewise get a collection of mistresses of thin ladies in trouble hung just in wisps of cloth, similar to Rubens ladies reshaped by a fitness coach.

Just once in a while we're permitted to take in the scene — magnificent prophetically catastrophic mists coming in from some distant John Martin painting or an inky swampland populated by dreadful adapted crows. We need a greater amount of this yet it's awful requesting that a petrolhead moderate down. At the point when Miller called "activity" on this reboot he truly would not joke about this.

127 hours

When the sun starts to go down on the canyonlands of south-eastern Utah in the American west, it bathes the vast rock formations and caverns in a deep red glow. It’s beautiful.

But at night, if you’re alone, it can be a cold and frightening place. Particularly if you find yourself trapped in one of the deep ravines that split the sandstone monoliths in two. It would be difficult for anyone to hear you during the day – but in the dark, a cry for help would be met with only silence.

No one knows that more than 35-year-old Aron Ralston. In 2003, he had gone hiking, alone, near Robbers Roost – an old outlaw hideout used in the dying days of the wild west by Butch Cassidy. But while Ralston was climbing down a narrow slot in Bluejohn Canyon, a boulder became dislodged, crushing Ralston’s right forearm and pinning it against the wall.

For five and a half days, he struggled to get free until he was forced to do the unthinkable. Using a blunt knife from his multi-tool, he began amputating his arm. This month Ralston’s incredible tale of survival comes to the big screen courtesy of film-maker Danny Boyle, in his new movie, 127 Hours.

Ralston was raised in the suburbs of Indianapolis, Indiana, but moved with his parents to Denver, Colorado when he was 11. He was a bright student and after university he moved to Arizona to work for Intel. But the lure of the great outdoors was too strong and he eventually left his job and moved to Aspen, in the Colorado Rockies. There he would hike, ski and cycle. He also set out to become the first person to climb all 55 of the state’s mountains over 14,000ft, alone in winter

The Martian

Now and again we look for isolation—closing ways to our rooms, shutting ourselves off, stowing away under covers or behind books. Yet, at times that feeling of depression comes uninvited. We long to see an amicable face. To hear a kind word. To go through valuable minutes with another person, regardless of the possibility that whatever we do is sit in amicable quiet. We are social animals. We require group. Also, when we don't discover it, it can feel just as we've been surrendered. Overlooked. Neglected.

In any case, we've never known the dejection of Mark Watney.

Mark awakens in the red tidy and feels a yelling torment in his side. A metal bar sticks from his gut like a little spear. "Cautioning," a mechanized voice trills in his protective cap, "Oxygen level basic." He shakes away the mists in his mind and recalls … a tempest. They were getting away from a tempest—production for the launcher. A bit of flotsam and jetsam struck. Dimness.

Mark hauls the metal pole out of his gut, covers the injury with his hand and stumbles back to the base, his breath shallow and froze. The entryway opens, closes, seals. Imprint can inhale once more.

The injury. He rips off his defensive suit, removes his shirt and performs a touch of excruciating self-surgery, stapling his skin together to staunch the stream of blood.

Mark has oxygen. Water. Nourishment. He will survive the day, in all likelihood. Tomorrow, as well.

Be that as it may, he is totally alone on this cool, dead shake we people call Mars. His associates and companions are gone, abandoning him for dead as they fly home in a boat bearing one vacant seat. Nobody knows he's alive. What's more, regardless of the possibility that they did, it would take months—no—prior years anybody could get to him. The sustenance won't keep going that long, regardless of the fact that the water and air do.

Mark hasn't surrendered trust. However, in the event that he wants to survive sufficiently long to be protected, he'll need to do only it.

Fast and Furious 7

Fast and Furious 7 (or Furious 7) continues with Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) and his family (crew), after living as international fugitives. However, Brian O’Conner (Paul Walker) struggling to settle down into his new life with Mia Toretto (Jordana Brewstar) and their child, while Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) and Dominic attempt to continue with their old life has been difficult to say the least due to Letty’s broken memories. However these issues have to be put aside as a new threat presents itself, Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham) an ex-special forces operative an extremely dangerous operative with agenda, to wreak havoc on Dominic’s family after what they did his younger brother, Owen Shaw the antagonist in Furious 6 (Luke Evans).

Furious 7 is another solid installment in the Fast and Furious multi-billion dollar franchise, one that provides a heartfelt farewell to star Paul Walker who tragically died in an accident in November of 2013. Paul’s death was in the middle of production of Furious 7 so brought in his brother Cody Walker and CGI to send Paul Walker and his long time character Brian O’Conner off into the sunset.  This film is a must-see for long-time fans, even dis-interested viewers will find it to be exhilarating box office hit (raking in over $1.5 billion worldwide). This movie would have been a nice way to end the series but however the franchise suggests there is creative potential for another two movie, however fans say otherwise out of respect for Paul Walker. Other than that this movie is brilliant piece of blockbuster cinema directed by Justin Lin.

Interstellar

In Christopher Nolan’s space epic Interstellar, humanity has been forced to abandon technological advancements and the dreams of discovery, after an ecological catastrophe known as Blight ravages the Earth. Former NASA pilot Cooper (Matthew McConaughey), a father of two, now turned corn farmer assigned with growing one of Earth’s last sustainable crops. Cooper tries to make do with farm life, in a time when personal desires must be put aside for the greater good, providing for his children Murph (Mackenzie Foy and Jessica Chastain) and Tom (Timothee Chalamet and Casey Affleck), also his father-in-law, Donald (John Lithgow). Coopers thirst for discovery still remains with him, even as the Earth’s condition deteriorates.

However, when Cooper is reunited with Professor Brand (Michael Caine) an old co-worker of his, he is given a chance to accomplish an old desire. Cooper, asked to leave his family behind after being informed that Earth’s situation is much worse than he previously thought, to go on an uncertain voyage into a wormhole in search of a new plant that can sustain human life.

Interstellar being a very imaginative film, but with great amount of theoretical physics mixed with sacrifice on a personal level. Interstellar offers unpredictably icy drama for a film that is entirely based on the loving connection between a father and his daughter.

Viewers seeking to get lost in a thrilling journey of space travel created by the director of The Dark Knight Trilogy and Inception, Interstellar may be the movie for you. This movie is equivalently brilliant and emotional, however may be underwhelming to some viewers due to its brainy scientific theorizing.
