No. Not even for the novelty factor.

/In before fanie mentions Alien Outpost.
Ah dude, you have to see it just for how ridiculously bad it is and how far that blonde chicks acting career has sunk

...that chainsaw-lazarus-jonah-from-the-belly-of-the-beast move at the end.
 
San Andreas - 7/10 - good escapist fun with plenty of special effects. Maybe a bit too long. Some parts seem similar to Titanic - people sliding off buildings and falling long way down, or old couples hugging each other as they met their death.

You forgot to mention the tsunami! Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!
 
Avengers: Age of Ultron: 7/10. I wasn't expecting to like this one at all, but ended up having quite a lot of fun. It's very flawed and disjointed, but whatever, it's a trip. Still don't know what the point of that city being ripped out of the ground was though.
 
The Man from Uncle - 7/10

Cavill sure is sexy in those suits

Still don't know what the point of that city being ripped out of the ground was though.

Artificial meteor strike



Spoiler Edit:

Ultron wanted to kill everything but couldn't get nuclear weapon activation code because JARVIS was always changing it ahead of him so he figured the best way to cause total extinction was a giant meteor strike

Frequencies (aka OXV: The Manual) Quite simply, a brilliant, eloquent and thought provoking Mind Fsck.

9/10

{SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS 2}

The bad dude wanted to create a meteor-like effect similar to that which made the dinosaurs extinct, but with the humans on the receiving end
 
The World's End (2013) 6/10

British Sci-Fi comedy; weak plot; some British humour here & there but on the whole fairly boring.

I was looking forward to that but it was not as good as the previous two cornetto films.
 
A Most Violent Year (2014) 6/10

"In New York City 1981, an ambitious immigrant fights to protect his business and family during the most dangerous year in the city's history." Slow paced; good performance from Oscar Issac <Ex Machina> (2015).
 
Magic Mike XXL (2015) 6/10

Move of the same; if you loved/liked the 1st one of 2012 no doubt you will enjoy the sequel. For me it's hard to see the appeal; the wifey loves Mr Tatum though.

I'm not even going to ask for your man card, I'm just going to take it.
 
^ for what? It's just a movie; last time I checked watching a movie about about mostly "male entertainers" does make someone gay. I watched as its a recent release & had hype.

It was a flow movie IMO so move onto the next.
