Film Review | Adrift

Adrift is directed by Baltasar Kormákur and stars Shailene Woodley and Sam Claflin.

Drama/Adventure/Romance. Released 2018.

Adrift tells the true story of Tami Oldham (Shailene Woodley) and Richard Sharp (Sam Claflin), a couple who venture out to sea and encounter one of the most catastrophic hurricanes in history.

Before seeing Adrift, I was mainly anticipating the likely stellar performances from both stars, seeing as I have thoroughly enjoyed watching their performances in the past, specifically Woodley's, having delivered awards-worthy (yet not recognised to be so) performances in The Fault In Our Stars, The Spectacular Now, The Descendants...

...And now, Adrift.

Film Review | Incredibles 2

Incredibles 2 is written and directed by Brad Bird and features voice work from Craig T. Nelson and Holly Hunter.

Action/Adventure/Family. Released 2018.

Incredibles 2 picks up exactly where the 2004 Pixar classic ended, and the Parr family are faced with the opportunity to rehabilitate the legal status of supers as a result of a new project brought about by the Deavor siblings, seeing as a new threat, Screenslaver, is on the rise. This is all whilst grappling with the cons of being a super when applying themselves to normal-life scenarios as well as being challenged by their inescapable responsibilities to lead a domestic and peaceful life. 

As the extensive 14-year-long waiting game for a sequel to Pixar's The Incredibles was coming to a close, I was beginning to wonder whether it would live up to the ever-growing expectations set by the first film. However, now the wait is over, it is incredibly thrilling for me to say that Incredibles 2 absolutely does.
