Independent Cinema writes: Moving slightly away from the romantic main plots for which we’ve come to know Stephenie Meyer, The Host delivers a politically-charged science fiction film, that still manages to get muddled up by complicated relationships. Meandering from scene to scene, pushing the runtime to an excruciating 125 minutes, Andrew Niccol manages to craft a world that one could get lost in. The unfortunate reality is that the script is so stilted and shallow that it is really hard to get into a world that is blocked off by inane dialogue and sub-par acting from most of its cast. Whatever political message the film might be trying to send about communism and rebellions, is lost in the romantic ramblings that plagued the Twilight series, and will seemingly plague all of Stephenie Meyer’s work for the foreseeable future.
Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has just released, and there's a lot to unpack about it.
Based on Adele Parks' novel, director Jeff Fisher's The Image of You positions itself as a sexy thriller movie dripping with intrigue and family deception, but it's largely a non-event.

I really want to see it just because of the mixed reviews its getting.
Too bad this film has consistent low reviews and unsatisfying remarks.
