Fall (2022)

A confined-space thriller in which the confined space is a small platform at the top of a 2000-foot radio antenna in a US desert, this movie, beyond this original setting, is completely by-the-numbers, rolling out in such formulaic fashion, you suspect an AI spat out the story, but watch it for my favourite  moment when the hero, dehydrated, overexposed to the Sun and at death's door, eats a vulture and turns immediately, momentarily, into a slinky, confident Lara Croft.

Project Almanac (2015)

Things start chaotically - a group of high schoolers with a handheld camera discover time-travel and film everything as they, in a swirl of autumn leaves and dust, zip back and forwards to relive good times and undo bad - but the chaos escalates when one of the group starts breaking the group's self-imposed time-travel rules, and what follows is a one-heightened-chaotic-note teen time-travel drama that quickly becomes wearisome.
