Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato
4/5

Pandorum (2009)

"The finest interstellar horror in years."

Richard Edwards

Tomato
5/5

Paranormal Activity (2009)

"If you've spent any amount of time bemoaning the current state of horror films, slagging off Platinum Dunes remakes and mocking the CGI-and-tits tosh that passes for cineplex terror these days, you owe it to yourself to go and see this film."

Jon Hamblin

Splat
2.5/5

Planet 51 (2009)

"When a film's best characters are rip-offs from other movies. you know you're in trouble."

Jayne Nelson

Tomato
3.5/5

Pontypool (2009)

"This is the sort of film that warrants a second viewing."

Ian Berriman

Splat
1/5

Punisher: War Zone (2008)

"Unlike more high-powered Marvel heroes like Spider-Man and X-Men, The Punisher has never enjoyed much box office success and this excruciatingly terrible film certainly won’t change that."

Stephen Jewell

Splat
2/5

Push (2009)

"Going to see this film doesn’t make much sense. It’s obviously been cynically conceived as a franchise starter, but abruptly flicking to the end credits seemingly mid-movie is not a good way to start one."

Jon Hamblin

Tomato
3/5

Race to Witch Mountain (2009)

"Race proves a fun, snappy update to a goofy kiddie cult film."

James White

Tomato
3.5/5

Shorts (2009)

"Exactly the sort of kid-in-a-candy-store experience you'd expect."

Jon Hamblin

Splat
2/5

The Spirit (2008)

"No amount of flash can camouflage the career-low performances, the scaffolding where characterisation should be, the pitiful cod '40s dialogue, the monstrously fumbled comedy."

Nick Setchfield

Tomato
5/5

Star Trek (2009)

"By resurrecting Kirk, JJ Abrams has not only revived and revitalised Star Trek, he's given it a dose of Viagra."

Ian Berriman

Splat
3/5

Sunshine (1999)

"It's all so damn tasteful that a quick burst of brash, crass Hollywood vitality would come as a relief."

Ian Berriman

Splat
3/5

Surrogates (2009)

"Wasting the chance to be a great, resonant SF metaphor, Surrogates ultimately proves as bland and empty as its pretty mechanical protagonists."

Nick Setchfield

Splat
2.5/5

Terminator Salvation (2009)

"Technically, this is a well-made movie, but that doesn't compensate for the predictability of the plotting, or the depressing lack of heart."

Ian Berriman

Splat
3/5

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

"The movie has the air of missed opportunity about it - but as reimaginings go, it's no global disaster."

Dave Bradley

Tomato
3.5/5

Thirst (2009)

"The over-long duration makes it a gruelling journey at times, but it's worth sticking to the end, just to see what the hell Park will come up with next."

Ian Berriman

Tomato
3.5/5

Tormented (2009)

"A smart, competent horror-com that's easily a match for its US counterparts."

Rosie Fletcher

Splat
2.5/5

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

"By turns Revenge Of The Fallen is spectacular, funny, cringeworthy, edge-of-the-seat exciting, tedious, incomprehensible, dumb and very occasionally smart – sometimes all at the same time."

Richard Edwards

Tomato
4/5

Triangle (2009)

"The sort of brainy, twisty thriller that keeps you wondering what the hell's going on while still managing to keep you engrossed."

Richard Edwards

Splat
1.5/5

The Twilight Saga: New Moon (2009)

"If this is the world’s next generation of womanhood, that's a century of female emancipation down the drain. Bella's more likely to polish her chastity belt than burn her bra."

Dominic Power

Splat
2/5

The Unborn (2009)

"Unsatisfying, hokey and never that scary (unless you’re the type who jumps at every loud noise or sudden appearance in this sort of movie), The Unborn outstays even its brief lifespan."

James White

Splat
2.5/5

Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009)

"It may be a definite upswing in quality for the series, but if you thought the previous two films were overblown goth-horror nonsense, Rise Of The Lycans really isn’t going to change your mind…"

Saxon Bullock

Splat
2/5

Vinyan (2008)

"This could have been a strong supernatural thriller in its own right. However, while its premise is potentially decent, too much of the film is spent just waiting for something to happen."

Anne Wollenberg

Tomato
3.5/5

Watchmen (2009)

"It’s not a bad film. It’s actually coldly, technically brilliant. And it honours Moore and Gibbons only too well. But it’s monumental and slab-like, an exercise in cinematic taxidermy, in need of a lightning strike to animate its parts."

Nick Setchfield

Tomato
3/5

X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

"We’re soon mired in a predictable tale of revenge, an escalating series of empty tragedies occurring to half-sketched characters that ultimately packs all the emotional resonance of a night on the Xbox."

Nick Setchfield

Tomato
3.5/5

Zombieland (2009)

"There are more than enough good gags, but no moments that'll make you gag."

Ian Berriman
