HOME CINEMA CHOICE SEPTEMBER 2019


On the Top Gun:
Maverick trailer...

I like Oblivion [Tom Cruise's
previous movie with director
Joseph Kosinski], but had
reservations for this. Then I saw
the Sony Venice camera mounted
in the jet for the cockpit shot...
I am in for 3D IMAX Laser day one.
Mike Wadkins
This would be great in 3D. The
conversion of the fi rst movie in
3D was done really well.
Geoff Collins
I feel the need, the need for speed!
Mark Tymm

What you're watching
on your home cinema...
I've been on what
I call a 'John Carpenter
odyssey.' Working my
way through all his
movies in release order. I'm up to
They Live.
Lee Bourne
Continuing to work my way
through Deadwood: The Complete
Series, which has sat in its deluxe
format Blu-ray on my shelf,
unwatched for over a decade until
last weekend. It’s fantastic, lives
up to the hype, and I really should
have watched it earlier. Also going
to crack open Jack Ryan: Season 1
on Blu-ray.
Ian Smith
The Hobbit trilogy in 3D. It's
fantastic, and it gets better
towards the end. And Pan is
reference 3D material! So what if
the story/acting is a bit wacky?
Theo Coetzee
Captain Marvel 3D.
Alex Russell

She'll be back
Terminator: Dark Fate arrives in multiplexes October

not know the movie marks the comeback of Linda
Hamilton/Sarah Connor. Check out Paramount's

The force is strong with Spotify
Streaming platform Spotify has launched a series of
curated playlists within a new 'Disney Hub.' Aimed at
'fans of all ages', there's the expected collection of
warbling Princess songs, but both the Marvel movie
scores and Star Wars compositions get their own
chance to shine.

The car's not the star
Remember the 1980s Dungeons & Dragons cartoon?
Someone at Renault clearly does, as it's improbably
inspired the car maker's advert for its Kwid mini SUV.
This doesn't make us want to buy a car, but does
suggest a live-action reboot of the cult 'toon could
be tremendous fun....
