In the last couple of years, Marvel comic book movies have significantly declined in quality, and unfortunately, this film is no exception. If you are expecting something special from the finale of the Venom trilogy, I fear it will disappoint you.
In this installment, Eddie has lost everything; he has nothing but his connection with Venom. But then a new cosmic villain, Null, appears, and he needs to obtain the Codex, which is inside Eddie and Venom due to their unique symbiosis. Our heroes' task is to survive and reach New York because Eddie has some incriminating evidence that he wants to use to restore his reputation. Meanwhile, they are being pursued not only by Null but also by the police, agents from Area 51, and God knows who else.
It's unclear how the filmmakers envisioned this story, but as I recall the scenes after watching the film, only a few clip-like moments stand out, and there is no cohesive picture of the plot.
There are literally four action scenes in the film, one of which lasts only a few seconds. And most importantly, two of them occur in the dark. As a result, you are watching a black symbiote against a black background. I believe this was done intentionally to mask the quality of the CGI. In the dark, you simply cannot see the poor CGI. Many have noted the decline in the quality of effects in Marvel films before, and it is evident here as well.
It turns out that the most enjoyable scene in the film was almost entirely shown in one of the trailers, where a traveling family picks up Eddie and Venom and drives them to Vegas. It feels like a breath of fresh air-just some casual hangout with heartfelt conversations, even if they are a bit strange. But sooner or later, all good things come to an end, and we are brought back to reality where Eddie is still a loser who has lost everything. And Venom, who, even in the face of death, continues to behave like a child, becomes tiring.
The finale, in turn, feels inevitable and logical, thus failing to evoke any strong emotions. Everything that happens in the second half of the film is too obvious. There is a feeling that very little time was spent on developing the story and its conclusion. The end of a trilogy should be bright and memorable, not what we ended up with. Mixed emotions from watching the film, but mostly negative.
In conclusion: unfortunately, the finale of the Venom story did not turn out as everyone expected. It is unclear what will happen to the character next, although many wanted to see him as a rival to Spider-Man in one of the future films, and there were even hints about this in the post-credits scene, only for everything to be rolled back, forgotten, and flushed down the toilet. Clearly, this is not the worst Marvel comic book movie, but it is far from the best. If you have watched the previous films, I think it's worth seeing the conclusion of the story, but sadly, do not have high hopes.

I have previously described the release schedule of Disney projects for Star Wars, where they alternate between total failure and success. This time, it's a success. A magnificent animated series based on Star Wars. The action takes place in a galaxy far, far away, but due to certain events, everything gets turned upside down. The main character has to save the galaxy because he is the one to blame for it all. Along the way, we meet many familiar heroes such as Palpatine, Leia, Jar Jar, Luke, Han, and others.
The plot is quite good for such a cartoon; it is very easy to watch, with episodes lasting about 20 minutes flying by in a single breath. However, I found the series to be a bit too short. If it had two more episodes filled with even more references and jokes about Lego and Star Wars, it would have been better. Personally, I felt it lacked depth, but I think they did this to avoid overloading the series with fan service and possibly left room for a couple more seasons, as the foundation for continuation is excellent.
For some reason, the series was not received as warmly here as it was abroad. Perhaps it was because people were expecting a full Lego movie, but the trailer made it clear that this is more episodic. Also, the series gifted us some wonderful Lego sets featuring the Millennium Falcon, and just for that, it deserves an extra point.
In conclusion: an excellent, fun Lego cartoon based on Star Wars for one evening. It is available in good Russian voiceover, already laid out in the green store. However, it can also be watched in the original version, as Mark Hamill voiced his part there.

If there used to be three categories of films: good, bad, and mediocre but watchable, now the last option can be replaced with "fine for streaming." Because this is literally typical streaming fare. It's perfect for a light evening movie that doesn't burden you in any way.
The plot is quite simple. An advanced AI appears out of nowhere, chooses the main character as the most ordinary representative of humanity, and wants to observe her. The decisions she makes over the next three days will determine the AI's choice: to save humanity, destroy it, or simply enslave it by taking complete control.
In my opinion, the screenwriters touched on the theme of AI very superficially and did not explore it at all. The film is originally titled "Superintelligence," and the only aspect of super intelligence it showcases is that it can control all technology, imitate a popular talk show host, and monitor a strange couple with relationship issues. The main problem is that Carol's boyfriend is leaving for Europe to work in just a couple of days, and they need to reconcile somehow. Without spoilers, the problem of choice presented in the film seems to lack meaning and feels pulled out of thin air. Its solution is literally right on the surface. Because of this, I personally felt no drama at the end.
On the plus side, I want to highlight the really good character that suited Melissa McCarthy. Usually, she plays tough, masculine characters with corresponding humor. In this case, she appears quite organic, and it's genuinely pleasant to watch her on screen.
In the end: even though the film is called "Artificial Intelligence," it is not about modern technology at all, but about human relationships. So if you're looking for a film about technology and AI, this is definitely not the one. As I said at the very beginning, it's a genuine average film that is worth watching if you just want to take a break from thinking, or if you've already watched everything else and are too lazy to search further, and this film happens to catch your eye.
