12 Years a Slave is one of those films

5 second plot: Solomon Northup, a free black man living in New York is kidnapped in 1841 and sold as a slave. He has to deny who he really is in order to survive. The things he has to endure are gruesome beyond imagination.

5 second review: The horrible injustice is almost unbearable to watch. It's unbelievable that human beings where capable of doing these horrific things to other human beings. To put it in other words: this film really got to me. It's not the most cheerful film to watch, but it's a must see. A lesson in history.

Thor: The Dark World is great fun

5 second plot: The Dark Elves are back after a couple thousand of years and want to release some evil red blob when the 9 worlds align, thus destroying the universe. Thor comes to the rescue. His human friends come to his aid.

5 second review: Now that's what I call a fun movie. Sure, not everything adds up (or adds up way too simple), but in return we get spectacular fights and a whole bunch of great laughs. The first movie was too serious (and too plastic), this one is more relaxed. I loved it.

Our Universe is really... big

5 second plot: 50 minutes of watching pretty pictures of our solar system mostly and a bit beyond that.

5 second review: As an adult it is nice to get the overview again from time to time. Well, I think it is anyway. The movie is okay, but it's nothing new. They could had made it more exiting with a bit more 'real' and up to speed data about recent space exploration and things to come (like the moon station).

5 second plot: Rick goes out looking for food with Carol. He confronts her with the fact that she can't go back, since Tyreese will kill her. They run into new people. But the newbies don't make it. The other group (that ran into the herd) finds the medicine but they have a though job getting out in one piece.

5 second review: This was a welcome change: two groups going out, running into crazy stuff, finding new people, seeing nature take over the world,... Nice.

Last Vegas is not very funny

5 second plot: A bunch of old timers get together in Las Vegas because one of them is getting married. With a woman (less than) half his age. And well, they party like it's 1959.

5 second review: I laughed a couple of times. But most of the time I didn't. In the first couple of minutes he asks the girl to marry him at a friend's funeral. That's sadly not funny. And there are plenty of moments like these in the movie.

IMDb score: 6,8/10
Our score: 4/10

About Time is beautiful

5 second plot: Tim finds out that the male side of his family can travel through time (for real). He uses this ability to get himself a girlfriend. And after that he tries to make the world a better place. But it's not as easy as you would think.

5 second review: If you want to impress your girlfriend, this is the movie you want to watch with her. It's a charming, funny, lovely, beautiful, moving story that figures out a way to avoid bad vibes and focuses on the good things in life. And it gets quite complicated. As time travelling often does.

IMDb score: 7,8/10

The Impaler is a cool title for a movie

5 second plot: A group of friends go to Dracula's castle in Transylvania because one of them had a strange dream about it. They don't actually want to go but he practically drags them out there. Once they arrive, they are welcomed with open arms. But of course: shit hits the fan really fast.

5 second review: I was already bored out of my mind by the begin credits. This is one of those poorly made movies that just pisses you off. They try every trick in the book, but it looks so home made, it's just too sad to watch.

IMDb score: 4,3/10

Ender's Game does not go easy on the kids

5 second plot: Earth was attacked by an alien race and humanity was nearly wiped out. But somehow we killed the fuckers. So now it's revenge time. The military is training the smartest kids to take the battle to the home planet of the aliens. I'm not sure why they need kids, but there is an explanation somewhere in the movie.

5 second review:  I don't like the adult - kid relations, they are weird. But I really like the sci-fi in this movie. It's pretty spectacular. The way the alien race 'swarms' is amazing. And what I like the most is the moral of the tale. 'The way we win matters.' True that.

IMDb score: 7,2/10

The Walking Dead Season 4 Episode 3: Isolation

5 second plot: More and more people are getting sick. And they get real sick really fast. So a team is assembled to go and get antibiotics. But it's a long trip. Meanwhile all the sick people are quarantined. And everyone else does his or her best to help one way or another. Not always the right way though.

5 second review: This episode is filled with lots of cool zombie stuff. We get too see a zombie with moss on it and we also get to see a big herd. Sadly, also the rescue team runs into this herd.

IMDb score: 8,2//10

All Is Lost requires some patience

5 second plot: Robert Redford is alone in the middle of the Indian Ocean and his boat gets hit by a floating container. Now there is a big hole in the boat and his communication equipment is broken. And that's not the end of his problems. About 99 of them. But at least, the b**ch ain't one.

5 second review: I have definitely proven to myself that I do not have the patience for movies like these. It's one guy, there is no talking and there is too little going on. Time seemed to start going slower and slower between the action sequences. It's probably just me, because most people really seem to like this movie.
