MOONFALL

Watchable. Just like "Don't Look Up", it's also a parody. But with a shoddy plot and spectacular tacky CGIs - typical Emmerich. At least Atmos offers surrounding sound. The ending indicates a sequel coming.

MOJ DLUG

Watchable. Reminiscenses from imprisonment range from numerous brutal acts of violence to romantic memories from freedom. Surrounding sound means you hear the door slammed at the back. You get to know relationships between prisoners and with the guards. Will put you off jail should you ever consider ending up there. What did he try doing before? Why was he pardoned? Narrative chaos hinders understanding. The makers assume you're familiar with the story. Philosophical but shallow. 

CALAMITY, UNE ENFANCE DE MARTHA JANE CANNARY (CALAMITY, A CHILDHOOD OF MARTHA JANE CANNARY)

Watchable. It's a very feminist tale set in a hostile, crime-ridden world. This French animation uses large single-colour swathes of paint, yet a carcass or a bone look naturalistic - too much for a children's cartoon, a bit like old-time Disney with added morbidity. 

Reviewed from the distributor's screener, cinematic reception might differ.
