The fantasy Seventh Son never endears itself, making swooping dragons, witches, and epic battles about as bland as possible. Review by Matt Cummings In Sergey Bodrov's teen lit fantasy Seventh Son , a young man (Ben Barnes) is whisked away by the dangerous Seeker Master Gregory (Jeff Bridges), who believes his special talent as a seventh son of a seventh son will help him to combat the reemergence of the witch Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore), who was imprisoned decades before by Gregory.

The Science-Fiction epic Jupiter Ascending is mired in interstellar palace politics and well-intentioned but ultimately uninspiring drama. Review by Matt Cummings When the entirety of mankind is one day remembered by people living either in different times, or by aliens that arrive to catalog our achievements, one oddity might occupy their time the most: the way we viewed aliens from other worlds in our media and literature.

As inconceivably large stretches of the universe manufacture human beings for their later consumption, the royal family known as the Abrasax have ended countless worlds, all to extend their lives. Their genocide has made them profitable and powerful, but in a millennium they have been without their queen, who was murdered by an unknown force. Meanwhile on Earth, the Russian Jupiter Jones (Mila Kun

After turning her back on Stark and Jarvis, Carter immerses herself back into her work, which immediately sucks her back into the same damn caper. The mysterious self-typing typewriter has hammered out a message in code and Carter is the only one able to interpret it, a remarkable feat that the men in the office give her astonishingly little credit for. The message reveals map coordinates and a drop date for a Levia
