Only monsters play God! 

Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.

Be the first to see Frankenstein – starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi and Mia Goth – at one of our UPSTREAM screenings from 23 October. UPSTREAM is a series of titles screening in cinema two whole weeks before they land on Netflix, allowing you to watch before the rest of the world does.

Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) proves it is still tough being a young Spider-Man and balancing high school, girls and keeping the parental units unaware of your superhero antics. He’s also enduring the absence of gal pal Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld). When Gwen returns and seeks his help on a mission, it turns his life inside out.

The look of the film is unlike any other and uses a plethora of animation techniques and a robust palette of colours to dazzle the eye. It’s not just the visual presentation that is arresting, there are so many fresh ideas for the expansion of its characters. This is buttressed by a unique look by the animators and the approach of the voice actors.

The expansion of the multi-verse is impressive and requires some past knowledge of the first chapter in the saga, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Viewing that first film before seeing the new edition is an advantage in understanding the nuances. Even without prior knowledge, it is still a bold and inventive work that rewards those that can keep up.

Herbert’s 1965 tale was originally serialized in the American magazine Analog (the first issue was published in 1930) and more than paved the way for Star Wars. The similar plot points are abundant but where the original Star Wars movie played it cute and cuddly, Villeneuve’s vision is dark, foreboding, and quite monochromatic. Life is harsh on Arrakis even for the ruling class.

Things play out in a slow burn fashion with tension never far below the surface. After being given the rule of Arrakis, patriarch of the Atreides family, Duke Leto (Oscar Isaac) does his best to balance his version of morality while ensuring he and his family’s future by keeping the production of Spice (a substance that imbues users with heightened vitality and expanded consciousness) at its peak.

Just like the effects of Spice, Villeneuve intends to expand the viewers’ perception of what life could be like on an alien planet and it’s not a pretty or comforting scenario. It features sights and sounds that may be new to our database but ones that get dragged down to our existing reality by a hierarchy system that limits life for all but the ruling class. Not unlike the one that has blighted things on earth for the millennial.

As the film plays out you discover there is much more to the story than just gambling. The details about Tell’s past put his actions into a completely different context and the revelations are not pleasant ones. Tell served time in the military and in prison for crimes committed while wearing the uniform.

Schrader’s pace is measured but he jolts you out of complacency with shocking scenes and increased aural dynamics. The volume and actions displayed leave little doubt to the horrors that existed in Tell’s life. These actions forced introspection but didn’t completely erase his humanity.

The Patriot Act has been used to justify horrendous acts against humanity and with little accountability. The Card Counter illustrates that survivors (on both sides) carry substantial scars that still impact the present and future. Presented as more a life lesson than mere entertainment, this work lets no one off easy.

In this all new movie we find Morticia and Gomez distraught that their children are growing up, skipping family dinners, and totally consumed with “scream time.”

To reclaim their bond they decide to cram Wednesday, Pugsley, Uncle Fester and the crew into their haunted camper and hit the road for one last miserable family vacation. Their adventure across America takes them out of their element and into hilarious run-ins with their iconic cousin, IT, as well as many new kooky characters.

What could possibly go wrong?

The Addams Family 2 will be released in Australian cinemas January 6!
