Go see: Thor Ragnarok — This is an enjoyable popcorn movie even though I wasn’t sure whether it needed to be a lot more serious throughout. It did feel like my family and I were the only ones laughing in the cinema.

Go see: Bladerunner 2049 - An intelligent and artful film. Like the original, this movie is not for everyone. I thoroughly enjoyed it and was constantly lost in the cinematography and the stunning soundtrack. Mind blowing.
