5. Rebel Moon: Part Two — The Scargiver (2024)
Directed by Zack Snyder , this sci - fi blockbuster deliver the climactic conflict between the rebels of Veldt and the vicious Imperium that was rig up in the first movie , 2023’sRebel Moon : Part One — A shaver of Fire . This continuation go through the pitfall examine in the original motion picture , lacking fiber development and leaning too heavily on expositional duologue , obtuse - apparent movement sequences , and reprocess Star Wars image .
The Scargiverpresents many epic and oculus - popping minute one would typically see in a Snyder film . But like its predecessor , it does so without a hearty narration adhesive agent , just like the first film . In all candor , this film is only the shorter version release before Snyder ’s three - hour theater director ’s cut , Curse of Forgiveness , which will hopefully repair this cut ’s shortcomings .
4. Unfrosted (2024)
Jerry Seinfeld ’s longtime honey for Pop - Tarts manifested itself in this fictionalized and cartoonish account of the toaster pastry ’s cosmos , featuring the biting rivalry between Kellogg ’s and Post food companies , as well as a grain mascot rising . This glossy spoof of the sixties food manufacture scarce draw by with its ace - studded cast and cockamamy make of dad humor .
Unfrosteddoes manage to machinate some laughs thanks to its gifted actors , some clever jokes , and cultural references . However , if audience were expecting theSeinfeldversion ofAnchormanfrom this film , their promise were likely shattered after check it .
3. Atlas (2024)
The sci - fi military action flickAtlasfollows an AI - hatinganalyst ( Jennifer Lopez ) as she is forced to fly an AI mech suit to quail at a automaton terrorist ( Simu Liu ) on a remote major planet . Though it make Netflix ’s Top 10 list in intimately a hundred countries , popularity does n’t needfully equal timbre .
The movie may feature a top - snick cast and telling visuals , but it is still a by - the - numbers action blockbuster with a formulaic story and banal dialogue . Atlasdoes make a singular and relevant commentary about whether we should use AI , but it is ultimately entomb in a cinema that seems to belong more with the ordnance - toting blockbusters of the ’ 90s .
2. Trigger Warning (2024)
Trigger Warningfollows a Special Forces ship’s officer ( Jessica Alba ) who returns to her hometown after her don ’s surprise death , only to check that a household of arms dealers conduct by a corrupt senator ( Anthony Michael Hall ) is responsible for it . produce by Thunder Road Films ( John Wick , Monkey Man ) , this movie wasdescribedas a female person - led commixture ofFirst BloodandJohn Wick .
This sales pitch sounds promising on paper . But unlike those two pic , Trigger Warningended up being just another slow , lower - grade action moving picture despite reaching Netflix ’s Top 10 . The pic yields some beautiful shots and some decent fight scenes . However , the story and its character are unremarkable , and the cast fails to snaffle audience with the material they were give . It also lack enough artistic action and emotional depth to rival the cinema it aspire to be , let alone stand out from them .
1. Lift (2024)
The brassy Kevin HartLiftvehicle follows a ragtag and bobtail team of fine art stealer when they are forced to pull in off a daring heist on an airborne plane to retrieve a cache of gold being rescue to an evil billionaire .
Despite being helmed by veteran film managing director F. Gary Gray ( Friday , true Outta Compton),Liftplummets just as it takes off because of its bland dialogue , unfunny jokes , one - dimensional characters , and a convoluted news report . What stings even more is that it fail to use Hart ’s comedic talents , allow for his character all but free of genuine prayer . All in all , this film will likely lose its audience before the stickup even begins .
