Titanic (1997)

 

 

 

89% – 7.97/10 (187 reviews)

A mostly unqualified triumph for James Cameron, who offers a dizzying blend of spectacular visuals and old-fashioned melodrama.

James Cameron’s Avatar (2009)

 

 

82% – 7.42/10 (305 reviews)

It might be more impressive on a technical level than as a piece of storytelling, but Avatar reaffirms James Cameron’s singular gift for imaginative, absorbing filmmaking.

76% – 6.16/10 (32 reviews)

Solaris (2002)

66% – 6.51/10 (206 reviews)

Slow-moving, cerebral, and ambiguous, Solaris is not a movie for everyone, but it offers intriguing issues to ponder.

Dick Tracy (1990)

63% – 5.67/10 (48 reviews)

Dick Tracy is stylish, unique, and an undeniable technical triumph, but it ultimately struggles to rise above its two-dimensional artificiality.

Alita: Battle Angel (2019)

60% – 5.98/10 (291 reviews)

Alita: Battle Angel‘s story struggles to keep up with its special effects, but fans of futuristic sci-fi action may still find themselves more than sufficiently entertained.
