What I really appreciate about Zootopia 2 is how it manages to preserve the spirit of the original, even after nine years. The film clearly understands that it would not afford to feel as fresh as the first one—especially since themes like “otherness” have been explored so extensively in cinema over these past years. Instead of trying to repeat itself, it chooses a more nuanced way of storytelling. The absence of reptiles in the first film also turns out to…

Denis Villeneuve never disappoints when it comes to philosophical sci-fi films. I was flabbergasted by Dune's sheer epic scale—its cinematography, visual effects, score, sound and production design. The story subtlety and themes like philosophy, politics, religion, ecology, and colonisation are what makes it all the more intriguing. Even though the film hasn't touched the utmost core of the Dune book series yet, every moment led up to the upcoming sequel is nothing less than a cinematic satisfaction.

My busy ass…
