Movies in September 2019

Hey everyone,

There are some interesting movies coming out in September! Before we go over some of the highlights did anyone get to the cinema last month and see any of the films we discussed?

It Chapter 2 is out in cinemas now, the second part of the remake of the classic horror 2 parter based on the Stephen King book looks great and has some fantastic reviews. I still need to catch the first part so I'll be able to watch them in quick succession.

Next up is Running with the Devil, staring Nicolas Cage and Laurence Fishburne who are sent to investigate who's behind the hijacking of cocaine shipments of a international crime organisation.

For sci fi fans Ad Astra will be the highlight of the month! With an unknown threat looming over the solar system an astronaut must track down his missing farther and unravel a mystery to save the planet.

We have yet another Rambo movie called Rambo: Last Blood which sees Stallone revisit his violent past on a revenge mission.

Hotel Mumbai is the true story of the awful terror attacks on the Taj Hotel in 2008. For something a lot more light hearted the Downton Abbey movie is out in September! Following the Crawley family as the queen arrives at the Downton Abbey estate.

Are you interested in any of the above movies? Is there anything else out in September that you're excited to see? Let us know in the comments below!

Hobbs and shaw was what you would expect from the trailer and cast. It was entertaining enough but don't think it will win any oscars or tax too much of the grey stuff...
Ad astra looks intriguing. Think there will be more going on than we see in the trailers.
It chapter 2 also looks good, but need to see the first part!
Think we might be going to see angel has fallen next week so will post a mini review after.

I’m looking forward to seeing It Chapter 2. I really enjoyed the first part.

@gmarkj all those Fast and Furious movies are in the same vein but enjoyable non the less! I'm going to see Ad Astra next week so I'll let you know what I think if you haven't seen it by then.

Would love to read your review of Angel Has Fallen! I really liked the first 2 movies.

You'll have to let us know what you think of part 2 @AnnieM! I'm going to try to catch part one next week so I can watch part 2 at the cinema.

As I loved Downton Abbey, I can't wait for the film. As my other half can't stand it, I expect I will be waiting for the DVD

Same for IT Chapter 2....I loved the first one (in fact anything by Stephen King)

Probably aged as much as Stallone. I'll await the reviews before spendng money to see Rambo.

Never been the slightest bit interested in Rambo. The age Stallone is now, I think it's been done to death....

The plot thickens.....

I've never watched Downton Abbey @Cleoriff but I did see the trailer for the film last time I was at the cinema and it looked quite good!

@Anonymous, @jonsie I'm definitely interested in the Rambo movie! Based on the trailer it could work well with an older Stallone.

I watched Ad Astra at the cinema last night! I kinda have mixed thoughts on it. I've shared some in the spoiler tag below for those who don't want to much detail before they watch it but I've tried to keep it spoiler free for the most part.

First the good. The film looked fantastic! The visual effects were spot on and the shots of the various planets and facilities looked brilliant. I thought the first 3rd of the film was solid with a good progression and a cool chase scene on the moon.

From there the story went a bit off the rails with an out of place action sequence and then the pace got very slow for the second half of the movie. The physics of the film were totally off considering the effort they put into making a lot of the other technology in the story realistic.

It felt more like an art house experimental film set in space rather then a solid sci fi flick and it didn't quite land right for me. I got some Apocalypse Now vibes from it too due to the use of voice overs from the main character.

I would still recommend it but be prepared as the trailers don't really give the right impression of the story. It's also getting some fantastic reviews so it might just be down to my personal taste.

I'm hoping to catch this in November so without reading the spoiler I'm not too sure I fancy it now

I'd still recommend it @jonsie for the visuals alone. Half the people I wen't with absolutely loved it and it's been getting great reviews so perhaps it's a love it or hate it kind of movie.

Good enough @Martin-O2 , I'll give it a go then

Let me know what you think @jonsie ! I'm interested in hearing others opinion of it.
