Aussie director George Miller inexplicably got everything more right than anyone thought possible, rebooting his fabled Max series. Though Hardy is uncommonly uninteresting as the background Max and it really is an incredible Theron's film, direction, action, cinematography, production design, sound and just about every film-making aspect are all magnificent, in one of the decades most beautifully realised big budget films.

After beguiling the world with its first installment, the Jurassic films series has delivered four straight duds, mostly awful.

The Beach author, Alex Garland's second feature as director (after moving through some prominent screen-writing with Danny Boyle) Annihilation, was everything this empty and wildly overrated first film was claimed to be. Only Oscar Isaac and elements of the production design shine.

Like with Jason Statham movies, I'm the connoisseur when it comes to that titanic body of work, Liam Neeson movies. This is a very high entry, bolstered by great acting and characterizations from Neeson and the always brilliant Ed Harris.

Memorable, timely, atmospheric and thought provoking entry into the modern horror cannon directed by David Robert Mitchell.
