Why watch this film?
After 16 years since the premiere of 'Return of the Jedi', George Lucas returned to the Star Wars universe with the story of the boy who would later become Darth Vader. The problem is that, even with all the technology at his disposal, the director slipped into a weak script, some new characters without charisma and in an attempt to explain elements that were seen as mystical in the original trilogy. Perhaps the greatest merit is, even, to bring a new political subplot to the saga, which had only been tangentially addressed in the previous films. Watch if you're a real fan.

THX 1138
Years before Star Wars, George Lucas wrote and directed this movie, which is a milestone in science fiction cinema and shows a dystopian future to provoke and critique the present - a critique that remains current. Highlights include the minimalist design sets, which would also inspire the space saga.

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith
The best of the films from the second Star Wars trilogy, concluding Anakin Skywalker's journey to find the Dark Side of the Force. The script doesn't hold up to closer scrutiny, but it's still a good movie. For those not too thrilled with the series' "space opera" theme, pay attention to the important political subplot.

Star Wars: Attack of the Clones
The second movie of the second Star Wars trilogy - and the second movie chronologically - 'Attack of the Clones' presents several advances compared to the previous movie, but still falls short of the 1970s and 1980s trilogy. On the other hand, for those who enjoy action and breathtaking sequences, the movie does not skimp on this aspect. For fans of the saga, of course, the importance is something else: it is here that Anakin Skywalker's errors begin, which will lead the Jedi to the Dark Side of the Force.

Star Wars: A New Hope
This is one of the greatest movie classics of all time, a film responsible for permanently shaping the term "blockbuster" and launching a multimillion dollar franchise. Forty years after its release, we can still watch the feature film with new perceptions - from the practical effects of the time, to John Williams' iconic soundtrack, the philosophical debates that mythology brings us, or just the innocent look of hope that George Lucas brings in this first story.

Hellboy: The Crooked Man
Hellboy: The Crooked Man is the fourth attempt to bring the "red one" to the big screen — two of which were well-received, directed by Guillermo del Toro. In this one, director Brian Taylor works closely with Mike Mignola, the character's creator, to make a smaller film: clearly, there’s a lower budget, reducing the space Hellboy occupies. It’s a more contained and less megalomaniac film, heavily inspired by folk horror. At the same time, it is also a much stranger film than the previous ones: Hellboy is more disillusioned, not believing in life, and somewhat more passive. This may be the weakest adaptation of the four, mainly due to the lack of money to make something good — the digitally created spider and raccoon look like they’re from a 2000s video game. Still, Hellboy: The Crooked Man is a good attempt that aims to change the tone of the franchise and show that there is something interesting out there.

Dry Ground Burning
Just released from prison, Léa returns home to the Brasilia favela of Sol Nascente and joins up with her half-sister Chitara, the fearless leader of an all-female gang that steals and refines oil from underground pipes and sells gasoline to a clandestine network of motorcyclists. Living in constant opposition to Jair Bolsonaro’s fiercely authoritarian and militarized government, Chitara’s women claim the streets for themselves as a declaration of radical political resistance on behalf of ex-cons and the oppressed.

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson returns to Middle-earth with the first of three films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's enduring masterpiece. Set in Middle-earth 60 years before the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, the adventure follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of dwarves on a journey into wild, treacherous lands swarming with beasts of every ilk. Although their goal lies to the East, they must first escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever...Gollum. Alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo gains possession of Gollum's "precious" -- a simple, gold ring tied to the fate of all Middle-earth.

Borderlands
Borderlands is a movie that was talked about for a long time but seemed to never get off the ground—the success of the video game was enticing, but the curse surrounding video game-based movies seemed heavier. That was until, in a rather unlikely turn of events, filmmaker Eli Roth (Hostel) took the lead on the project. In fact, "unlikely" is an adjective that works well for this title: not only is it surprising that it got off the ground, but much of the cast seems out of place here (especially Cate Blanchett and Jamie Lee Curtis). The story, after all, is outrageous: a group of mercenaries must rescue the daughter of a powerful man while there's a race to find a treasure on a planet at the edge of the galaxy. Fun, though exaggerated in its tone, the movie oscillates between a children's audience and science fiction for Star Wars fans at every moment, never quite knowing which side to lean towards. Still, it should entertain those looking for an unpretentious and laid-back space opera, without worrying about creating very complex worlds and universes—besides all the surprise with Blanchett, in her most bizarre role to date.
