The 2016 summer movie season was a bust because Hollywood’s go-to formulas stopped working
The summer 2016 movie season was a disappointment by almost any measure. As is now required for the hottest months, Hollywood treated audiences to yet another plodding procession of sequels and remakes, franchise starters and extenders, reboots and reimaginings, too few of which provided even the most basic cinematic pleasures: romance, excitement, escapism, comedy, spectacles worth projecting on a 50-foot screen. Most summer movie seasons are built on formulaic productions, but this one felt worse somehow — as if the old formulas suddenly no longer worked.

Video on: the cinema in David Bowie
David Bowie slumps in an armchair and flicks on a wall of TV screens. He adjusts the sound with a mixer placed on a nearby drinks table next to a tray of liquor bottles and glasses; ignores the pleas of his lover to turn off the TVs and talk to her. Cartoon explosions, an Elvis movie, Mutiny on the Bounty, nature documentaries. Bowie's face approximates pleasure and interest as if these are emotions he has heard about somewhere. Animated horses snicker and flicker and a gecko munches a fly. A fighter pilot prepares for attack. Bowie's smile becomes a rictus. He writhes in his chair but can't look away. "Get out of my mind, all of you!"

Netflix’s sci-fi surprise release The Cloverfield Paradox isn’t as original as its marketing gimmick
Like characters in one of those zombie movies where no one says “zombie,” the crew of the Cloverfield space station—a big metal psilocybin mushroom orbiting near-future Earth—doesn’t know what it’s in for, having left our planet without ever having seen a single sci-fi horror movie: not Alien, not Event Horizon, and definitely nothing about science gone wrong. Not that they haven’t heard (and dismissed) the possibility that experiments with supercharged particle accelerators could lead to inter-dimensional mixups beyond human understanding. (When don’t they?) But narrative is a science, too, and the warning could just as well...
