Marvel's sci-fi movies-medley FANTASTIC 4: FIRST STEPS is popcorn superheroes that blends previous F4 screen adventures with Jetsons and Lost In Space, plus many visual cribs or thematic riffs, borrowed from 60+ years of SFnal cinema. Is this remake more than the sum of its bundled inspirations?

Not read any Nesbo books, but I liked Alfredson's movie... especially for Ferguson and Gainsbourg, if not Fassbender - who always seems quite variable.

Unfairly trashed in 1990s, SUPER MARIO BROS was directed by the creators of Max Headroom, and looks nowadays very like Terry Gilliam's Jurassic Lark. One of the early genre-film adventures of interdimensional fun with amusing weirdness, especially when Fiona Shaw steals the show.

Max (son of Anthony Minghella) directs Elisabeth Moss, in SHELL, chasing #TheSubstance dollar, into lobsterama realm for a monster-movie of black-comedy. Silly and splattery, but quite funny!
