Created from entirely archival footage, some previously unreleased, about the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon – led by commander Neil Armstrong and pilots Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. I love space – Ad Astra is my favourite film – but this film didn’t really hit the right buttons for me. Apollo 11… Apollo 11 – kids’ review! Read More
Spies In Disguise – kids’ review! 4 stars
I thought Spies in Disguise was exciting and very funny. I saw it at half term with my brother and my friends. It’s about a top spy called Lance Sterling who is turned into a pigeon by Walter, a really clever teenage boy who makes amazing gadgets but doesn’t want to kill anyone. I was… Spies In Disguise – kids’ review! Read More
Sonic the Hedgehog – kids’ review! 5 stars
The first thing I said to my mum after watching Sonic the Hedgehog was “That was AMAZING! Five stars!” My favourite character was Sonic because he was the fastest thing in the world. He did look like a blue cuddly toy. You can tell by his big eyes how he’s feeling. The base of the… Sonic the Hedgehog – kids’ review! Read More
Dolittle – kids’ review! 4 stars
I was only bored a tiny, tiny bit when I went to see Dolittle with my mum, and the time went quite quickly. I thought the film was very funny, especially when Plimpton (Kumail Nanjiani), an ostrich, is upset and says his dad was right, and he should have been an omelette. His frenemy, Yoshi… Dolittle – kids’ review! Read More
Cats – kids’ review! 1 stars
This film is a U which means anyone can see it even little kids. It is a little bit scary though because of the cat costumes. I saw the trailer before and I thought the cats would be in a house a lot of the time but when I saw the film they weren’t. It… Cats – kids’ review! Read More
A Reindeer’s Journey – kids’ review! 4.5 stars
I wanted to give this 9.9 but mum said it had to be out of five stars. The start is brilliant, the rocks in the snow are made to look like a reindeer’s head. I’ve actually seen reindeer in Finland. Last year I went to Lapland to meet the real Father Christmas and our hotel… A Reindeer’s Journey – kids’ review! Read More
The Aeronauts – kids’ review! 4.5 stars
The Aeronauts is set in 1862 in England when Queen Victoria rules, and it’s amazing to think that in 100 years’ time people would be walking on the moon. A balloonist called Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones) and a scientist called James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) go up in her balloon, and break the world altitude record…. The Aeronauts – kids’ review!

Nest – kids’ review! (short film – London Film Festival 2019) Short Film 4.5 stars
There’s a big bird with pink feathers that wants to be friends with a little bird and its friends. It chases the little bird to make the little bird like him but the little bird gets scared. Then the big bird makes a lovely nest on the ground and the little bird and its friends… Nest – kids’ review! (short film – London Film Festival 2019) Read More
Good Heart – kids’ review! (short film – London Film Festival 2019) Short Film 4.5 stars
At the start I didn’t understand what was happening but then I realised. The pictures look like they’ve been drawn with crayons. It’s from Russia but it doesn’t matter because the family in it just grunt. There is a family of Stone Age people and when the boy goes to collect apples he comes back… Good Heart – kids’ review!

Jerich0 – kids’ review! (short film – London Film Festival 2019) Short Film 5 stars
This is my favourite of all the short films I’ve watched this week. It’s about a robot lizard and it’s only one minute long. When I heard “Jericho” I thought that sounds like a lovely name and I think the lizard might be called Jericho. It starts off not much sad. The robot lizard crawls… Jerich0 – kids’ review!

The Penguin Who Couldn’t Swim – kids’ review! (short film – London Film Festival 2019) Short Film 4 stars
This film is five and a half minutes long. There’s a penguin who can’t swim because he has a short wing. Nobody speaks but that doesn’t matter. There isn’t much detail in their faces. Sometimes you can only see their eyes but you can still tell how they are feeling. He watches his friends swimming… The Penguin Who Couldn’t Swim – kids’ review!

Ad Astra (kids’ review!) 5 stars
My mum reviews a lot of films but she didn’t know what antimatter was so after we saw Ad Astra at the cinema I had to explain it to her. Antimatter is the opposite of matter. It explodes when it touches matter which is why they want to use it to power spacecraft. NASA have… Ad Astra (kids’ review!) Read More
