Having seen many Wolf type movies from the Wolf Man featuring in the 1987 classic 'The Monster Squad' or from the early 80s classic 'American Werewolf in London' or fast forward to a personal favourite of mine from 2010 'The Wolf Man' starring Anthony Hopkins & Benico Del Toro in a late 19th Century gothic story with an impressive transformation of the creatures of the night...

We now have a NEW movie, a remake of the classic Universal Monster movies of the late 1930s / 40th...

For starters, the premise and story of this movie is very good, set in the wildness of the endless depths of forest in Oregon.

A tight nit family consisting of Charlotte, Ginger & Blake... A return home leads to the story becoming an awakening for Blake, a gripping night time movie with the howling of a monster not so far from their potential dreaded fait...

The only flaw, was the transformation in to the dreaded creature that look more like a disfigured beast with a hairloss problem..

The action and the close ups made up for the not so convincing Wolf but the intensity was really good and how the action played close to home, decent enough watch at most.

I've watched all the different adaptations of Star Wars spin offs on Disney, to which I've enjoyed them all.

But this time round, we have a cast of school kids living every day life on a planet fat far away...

From the moment I started watching I totally loved it, a series that focuses solely on playful kids who seek adventure.

The plot I thought was brilliant, kids lost in space seaking their way home and navigating the depths of space and outmaneuvering everything from space pirates and robots!

As a kid from the 80s and a love of Amblin movies, this really played out like those classic movies... A heart warming, at times action packed adventure.

I thoroughly enjoyed, perfect 30 min episodes wih each episode varied in story telling, hoping for more misadventures with the kids seaking to go further beyond the stars!

I never realised this was actually based on a true story that made it more the worth while to watch.

I never realised Nissan GT Academy gave kids a chance to complete in virtual races to win the chance to drive for Nissan in 'F1' style tornaments.

I thoght the main lead actor was really good, goes to show if you aim high you can win big.

Great supporting cast from Orlando Bloom working for Nissan or David Harbour previous metal head turned mechanic as his go to man, also brings complexity with his knowledge of high octane racing can equally leave you vulnerable to a fatal crash.

Its a movie that inspires to go further and in life to put your foot down, enjoyed!
