Dangerous Animals (2025)

As if to demonstrate the abyssmal depths to which film has sunk, this serial killer thriller and creature-feature mash-up, about an Australian serial killer who feeds foreign tourists to sharks, is built up around its thirty-minute-mark spectacle of a woman being torn to pieces by a shark, and nothing else matters:, the plot, very possibly spat out by Chatgpt, starts with a thoroughly unclever and utterly unrewarding opening sequence, then features disappearing bodies, plastic shiv neck injuries and knife wounds that are shaken off and disappear, plot lurches that defy logic, and a lot of repetitive catch-and-escape, catch-and-escape sequences - Tom and Jerry cartoons are more entertaining and efficient - and chaining the film industry to its watery grave forever at the bottom of the ocean is the fact mind-numbed audiences have given this prosaic nonsense an 86% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Terminator Genisys (2015)


Terminator Genisys (or Terminator 5) has the distinction of being the Terminator movie that starts messing with the established formula: John Connor is the bad guy, the T-800 ages and gets old, characters in the future don't just travel back in time but others in the past flash forward, and while it starts promisingly, pretty quickly it descends into a mess more concerned with perpetuating the franchise than with meeting the expectations of series fans.
