I enjoyed it at the time but so forgettable that, apart from the irritating character that thankfully got killed early on, I can't remember anything about the film. Gravity purge? Searching my memory hard I remember some floating acid. Was that it?

Yes. Intermittently the gravity generators would shut off and they'd float, then the generators would switch on and they'd plummet. The floating acid was during the off phase.I enjoyed it at the time but so forgettable that, apart from the irritating character that thankfully got killed early on, I can't remember anything about the film.

It was a fun movie, whereas the first Alien movie wasn't so much "fun" as terrifying and revolting. The facehumpers doing their bit, for instance. I think they leaned a little too far in the Aliens direction, but still, the best in this series since Aliens. And maybe counterintuitively, but a whole pack of xenomorphs is a lot less scary than one. Like Jaws had one shark, not 50. Seeing so many xenomorphs (and seeing them get killed so easily) definitely made them seem kinda weak.
Failed to mention it before, but they did not need to do any of the Ian Holm face-replacement stuff. No idea why they thought that was a good way to spend money. Just cast a new actor, boom, done.

Hit and miss as with most of these anthology films. I didn't think anything in here was as good as Safe Haven from V/H/S 2. The wrap-around could have been really good if they landed the ending 5.5/10

Godzilla v Kong The New Empire
Normally I don't mind these, quite like a good monster film, but OMG this is utter dross.
There is so much scope to make good decent films, but they come up with this.

Yeah and especially with Godzilla Minus One being released around the same time, it highlighted even further how embarrassing this was.Godzilla v Kong The New Empire

Either make it good or make it fun. This was neither of those things.

These movies have the simplest of formulas, so it's surprising how often they screw it up. Giant monster smashes things and/or beats hell out of other giant monster. That's it. Godzilla Minus One, to be fair, did have a lot (maybe too much) in it that was not in the formula, but they have to do something while the monster rests and gets its energy up for some more smashing.Yeah and especially with Godzilla Minus One being released around the same time, it highlighted even further how embarrassing this was.

That said, I am looking forward to Detective 'Zilla, which is a throwback to Humphrey Bogart film noir detective stories, and supposed to be finished at the end of 2025. He's supposed to be voiced by Ian McKellen, which may or may not work. The details have been closely guarded secrets. But basically Godzilla teams up with Scarlett Johannson to track down a missing nuclear bomb in 1951 Los Angeles.

Anora is a riot. It’s sort of like a tragic Cinderella mixed with a Safdie brothers film, very funny too. Just a crazy fun 2 hour ride. Mikey Madison is excellent.
