Movie Critiques The Sci-Fi/Fantasy Version

SOLO: A STARS WAR MOVIE

It was the new Star Wars movie that the Movie Mavens selected to see one Friday at the Multiplex.  It seems that this movie was not too popular and did not earn the mega bucks expected.  However, we all thought it was a good movie.  One Movie Maven did mention that the fight scenes sometimes went on a tad too long.  But with one cutie pie, Alden Ehrenreich playing Han Solo and another cutie pie, Donald Glover, playing Lando Calrissian what more could you want????  And we get to meet the fabulous Chewie in this movie as well!!

Here is synopsis of the movie from the internet:

Young Han Solo finds adventure when he joins a gang of galactic smugglers, including a 196-year-old Wookie named Chewbacca. Indebted to the gangster Dryden Vos, the crew devises a daring plan to travel to the mining planet Kessel to steal a batch of valuable coaxium. In need of a fast ship, Solo meets Lando Calrissian, the suave owner of the perfect vessel for the dangerous mission -- the Millennium Falcon.

The Travelling Toe awards this movie two second toes up with your very own set of fuzzy dice for when you go jetting around space in your own Millennium Falcon!!

And now for the next movie!

JURASSIC WORLD:
FALLEN KINGDOM

The second Sci-Fi movie we saw was "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom" that starred another cutie pie, Chris Pratt.  Dallas Bryce Howard returned for her role from the last Jurassic movie as well.

Here is the plot for this fantasy movie:

Three years after the destruction of the Jurassic World theme park, Owen Grady and Claire Dearing return to the island of Isla Nublar to save the remaining dinosaurs from a volcano that's about to erupt. They soon encounter terrifying new breeds of gigantic dinosaurs, while uncovering a conspiracy that threatens the entire planet.

We thought this was a good movie but the ending was a tad questionable.  Do the creatures take over the world as they once had or do the humans intervene again???  Dear Readers, you will just have to see this movie yourself to decide what happens...that is if you really care!!!

The Travelling Toe awards this movie 2 second toes up, mainly due to the fantastic special effects of creating extinct dinosaurs, along with your very own Raptor just like Blue in the movie!  You never know when you will need backup from a Raptor!
