Recently went through the book, was a great read. Little flat towards the end but I'm looking forward to the movie.

Lol I felt the same about the book. It was so much better when he was just by himself, a premise that ironically made sceptical of starting the read. I was like what are they going to write if nearly the entire thing is premised on a single character. But turned out to be an awesome surprise.

The best parts were the first 2/3 as you said, when he was solo yolo. Really enjoyed his farming and mcgyver skills, I found it started to go flat when ****SPOILER**** the tent deflated and he lost his farm

Terminator Genisys 8/10

Really enjoyed this, not what I expected at all. Not just another round of the same old story a la Jurrasic Park for example, but a good fun action movie with lots of nods to the original movies.

Khaleesi was a bad pick for Sarah I reckon (too short) but the story made up for it and Arnie was brilliant.

How I Live Now (2013) 5.5/10

"An American girl, sent to the English countryside to stay with relatives, finds love and purpose while fighting for her survival as war envelops the world around her". Slow paced & pretty much falls flat. Might appeal to you if you are sucker for romance themed movies.

Avengers: Age of Ultron (2015) 7/10

Good watch; high action & drama; ticks many boxes. I still feel that lengthy running time could be reduced to under 2hrs.

Oh & hectic Samsung & Audi product placement though Stark's 2nd Gen R8 is a looker

Talking about product placement... Microsoft with their surface tablets have been popping up everywhere. Movies and Series.
