Hotel Artemis

Crims in peril and a sarcastic nurse.

(Edit) 09/03/2023

This is a film about a hospital that is known only to criminals, who pay for thier treatment by way of a subscription.

Jodie Foster is the nurse who just drips sarcasm with every sentence muttered. And, Dave Batistuta is her sidekick, who gets all the worst jobs.

This is set in a dystopian future and riots are breaking out, which leads to a foreboding atmosphere throughout the film.

The lighting in the hotel hospital is quite dim which also adds to the atmosphere.

The criminals are all nasty and you feel nothing for them.

There is a story behind Jodie Fosters character that slowly develops throughout the film.

When put together this adds up to a satisfying if rather querky movie which deserves a couple of viewings.

The Thing

Fantastic in 4k

(Edit) 17/03/2022

This film looks absolutely fantastic in 4k. The detail in the images is so good that you feel like you are on the film set with the actors.

This is definitely John Carpenter's best film. It has a top notch cast, great acting and lots of big explosions.

What a great alien amongst us film this is.

The HDR colour grading and shadow detail is so good that you can see all the frozen water droplets on the Norwegian ice station building.

I just wish that such care is taken with every 4k transfer.

If you have a 4k tv and disc player, what are you waiting for. Rent this now.
