Almost entire Roland Emmerich's career was devoted to t sci-fi movies. After moving to Hollywood, he continued to develop this genre: Universal Soldier, Stargate. And now, having reached some success in science fiction and received from producers large enough budget., Emmerich took up shooting the movie, who would later will be written in cinema history as one of the most popular of the genre: The Independence Day. "The movie immediately impress by the scale and epics. If there is the alien invasion, then it should be all over the world immediately. If there are the alien saucers, then they are extremely large. The plot immediately surprises you by the presence of nearly a dozen main characters, who at first seemed to be completely unrelated. It was only towards the end they were organically become the part of the storyline. By the way, the plot is a chronicle of alien invasion, consisting of detailed descriptions of the three days before the main holiday of the United States - July 4.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you travel back in time and kill your grandmother before she will give you the birth? Right, you will never be born. That means you will never travel back in time and never will kill you grandmother. That's called "Time Paradox" or "Grandfather Paradox". There are lots of theories explicating why the paradox can be avoided. By the way there is quite exotic one: "Can-Not Because Has-Not" that presumes that no one has invented the time machine in the future, because if it'll happen we have had already knew this due to existence of arriving time travelers from the future. But how it is connected with Looper, the movie filmed by Rian Johnson in 2012? The answer is: very straight. In not-so-near future, in the year 2042, a mob hitman makes money by successfully assassinating human targets arriving from more distant future. Everything goes smoothly before he receives the new target: himself arriving from 2072… Now you understand why we had to begin with "Time Paradox". However, such a twisted storyline is only one crucial driving force of Looper. The brilliant cast is the second. A mob killer, Joe, is portrayed by two actors, and each of them is a big name in Hollywood scoreboard. The younger version of Joe is represented by Joseph Gordon-Levitt while the older one is played by Bruce Willis. If such a star cast, picturing one only character is not enough for you, we are glad to let you know about other names: Emily Blunt (The Adjustment Bureau, Young Victoria) Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs , Ashes, Carriers ) and Paul Dano (Being Flynn, Cowboys & Aliens). And after all of that, have any doubts if this film worth your time?

Do not misread the connotations in the title X-Men: First Class. "First class" is a phrase which here does not mean "the best, the finest, the most luxurious," nor does it signify "the part of the plane with complimentary cocktails and room to stretch out." Take the phrase literally. In strangely oxymoronic style, the studio's promotional materials claim X-Men: First Class "charts the epic beginning (sic) of the X-Men saga," the first group of students to graduate from Professor X's school for reluctant super-heroes. "Who knew an "epic beginning" was possible? In their salad days, Charles Xavier and Erik Lensherr, ultimately sworn mortal enemies, were the best of buds, experimenting with and testing their newly discovered powers, preparing to join other Mutants to prevent Armageddon. X-Men: First Class documents their nasty break-up. They could not be "just friends.""Although the men allegedly star in X-Men: First Class, the so-called "supporting actresses" threaten to steal the show. January Jones of "Madmen" fame plays Emma Frost, villainesse supreme, co-conspirator with Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw, criminal mastermind. More notably, Jennifer Lawrence—yes that Jennifer Lawrence, low-keyed "It Girl" from Winter's Bone and the Oscars' red carpet—plays Mystique, aka Raven Darkholme, shape-shifting mutant. By film's end, girl power may trump super-powers.

Does the Universal Soldier: Regeneration worth the great expectations? From the outset it was clear that the film will be what it turned out. The movie has many flaws, but there are advantages. First of all, though the movie was filmed somewhere in Bulgaria at a disused factory in the Chernobyl style with Russian names on the walls and on the flag of terrorists written without a single mistake, which is amazing. The second thing there is a perfectly filmed fight, whatever you say. Third, there is "not so bad" acting, especially of Dolph Lundgren. And if this is not enough there is old Van Damme, who looks almost obscene for his age. It is not necessary to continue with the sequels. The time of Universal Soldiers left behind in the nineties.
