SA OCK PA JORDEN (HEAVEN ON EARTH)

Watchable. A pleasant though insipid story. Likeable characters. Too long.

BONE TOMAHAWK

Watchable. A mixture of a western with a slasher which, though slightly protracted and over the top at times, has very good dialogues, atmosphere and is extremely well-acted.

THE 5TH WAVE

Recommended. The class B trailer was so bad I didn't even notice the film was by J.J. Abrams. Luckily the trailer just doesn't do justice to the actual film. The scenes of the first four waves are extensive enough, perfectlt plausible and visually impressive, they just throw you in the presented world entirely. Later the story sets into familiar tracks: a love story, an army boot camp for children and worm-like aliens like in "Ender's Game", an actress from "Hunger Games", human-alien host dilemmas like in "The Host" and just as you become complacent, surprises start popping up one after another. Finally a film of a perfect length too. I'm looking forward to the 6th wave implied in the ending.
