It is one of the key series of modern television science fiction, which picks up the baton from classic episodic productions such as ‘The Twilight Zone’ and gives a bath of modernity and criticism to our sometimes alienating relationship with technology. On this occasion, he does not cut a hair and partially redirects his criticism in an unexpected direction: the streaming platforms themselves.

The highest-grossing film of recent times has been hard pressed before reaching streaming, but after a few months on pay-per-view it has ended up landing on the platform of its production company. After years of development, James Cameron manages to replicate the huge success of the first ‘Avatar’ with the continuation of the story of the Sully family, now turned into nomads who arrive at a tribe of Na’avi who have developed a civilization near the water.

Last night in Soho
The latest film by Edgar Wright, director of ‘Scott Pilgrim Against the World’, ‘Zombies Party’ or ‘Fatal Weapon’ went somewhat unnoticed when it was released in theaters, perhaps because of the director’s departure from the usual themes and style.
