"2001" is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth (presumably elsewhere throughout the universe as well). Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon's surface, where yet another monolith is found, one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between computers (HAL) and human (Bowman) to reach the monolith placers. The winner will achieve the next step in evolution, whatever that may be.

The man who will become the future leader of the human resistance against the Machines is now a healthy young boy.

This new Terminator is more advanced and more powerful than its predecessor and its mission is to kill John Connor when he's still a child.

Instead of the perfect heist, Cobb and his team of specialists have to pull off the reverse: their task is not to steal an idea, but to plant one. If they succeed, it could be the perfect crime.

Ridley Scott · 117 min · The Ladd Company / Shaw Brothers / Blade Runner Partnership

In the early twenty-first century, the Tyrell Corporation, during what was called the Nexus phase, developed robots, called "replicants", that were supposed to aid society, the replicants which looked and acted like humans. When the superhuman generation Nexus 6 replicants, used for dangerous off-Earth endeavors, began a mutiny on an off-Earth colony, replicants became illegal on Earth. Police units, called "blade runners", have the job of destroying - or in their parlance "retiring" - any replicant that makes its way back to or created on Earth, with anyone convicted of aiding or assisting a replicant being sentenced to death. It's now November, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. Rick Deckard, a former blade runner, is called out of retirement when four known replicants, most combat models, have made their way back to Earth, with their leader being Roy Batty. One, Leon Kowalski, tried to infiltrate his way into the Tyrell Corporation as an employee, but has since been able to escape. Beyond following Leon's trail in hopes of finding and retiring them all, Deckard believes part of what will help him is figuring out what the replicants wanted with the Tyrell Corporation in trying to infiltrate it. The answer may lie with Tyrell's fail-safe backup mechanism. Beyond tracking the four, Deckard faces a possible dilemma in encountering a fifth replicant: Rachael, who works as Tyrell's assistant. The issue is that Dr. Elden Tyrell is experimenting with her, to provide her with fake memories so as to be able to better control her. With those memories, Rachael has no idea that she is not human. The problem is not only Rachael's assistance to Deckard, but that he is beginning to develop feelings for her.

Four years have passed since the events of No Way Home, and Peter is now an adult living entirely alone, having voluntarily erased himself from the lives and memories of those he loves. Crime-fighting in a New York that no longer knows his name, he's devoted himself entirely to protecting his city - a full-time Spider-Man - but as the demands on him intensify, the pressure sparks a surprising physical evolution that threatens his existence, even as a strange new pattern of crimes gives rise to one of the most powerful threats he has ever faced.

Cast: Tom Holland, Zendaya, Mark Ruffalo

Box office: $1,188,176,434 worldwide ($481,876,434 domestic; $360,091,572 opening weekend) — the biggest opening weekend in box-office history · Awards: 1 nomination total.

AI verdict: Brand New Day's 8.2 IMDb average is now the highest of any live-action Spider-Man film, edging out No Way Home's 8.1 — a strong result for a reset that had to justify erasing Peter's supporting cast's memories of him. The reception is lopsided in the best way: a 98% Rotten Tomatoes audience score (a record for Holland's Spidey films) points to real audience love, even as the 90% critics' score and 66 Metascore suggest professional reviewers are a shade more reserved. That's echoed at the box office, where the film set the all-time opening-weekend record — a sign the reset landed with exactly the audience it needed to.

AI verdict: Spider-Man 2's across-the-board improvement over the original — higher RT score (93% vs. 90%), higher Metascore (83 vs. 73), a Best Visual Effects Oscar win — makes it one of the few superhero sequels that's essentially uncontested as better than its predecessor, anchored by Molina's Doc Ock as a genuine tragic villain.

AI verdict: Tenet's 70% RT score and comparatively modest $376.6M gross (against a $205M budget) mark it as the clearest commercial underperformer of Nolan's post-Inception run — though that's inseparable from its September 2020 release into a pandemic-gutted box office, not just audience reaction to its notoriously dense plotting.

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. Covert operations expert Zora Bennett is contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora's operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.
