Just a few years after the massive success of Jurassic Park, another Michael Crichton sci-fi disaster novel was adapted. Unfortunately, the legacy of Sphere is far inferior to the dinosaur movie. But this week we're celebrating the mostly forgotten underwater thriller, with its great cast and thrilling and creative use of the unknown and the unseen.

The massively popular video game series finally got its very faithful movie adaptation in 2016. Unfortunately for the fans, the movie failed to bring in enough at the box office to greenlight a sequel. This week we revisit this one off effort and determine what it got right! We also ponder the finer differences between orcs and ogres.

While not too technically impressive by today's standards, the photorealistic animation in FINAL FANTASY was groundbreaking in 2001. Despite praise for its visuals, the movie failed to find its audience, even among fans of the video game franchise. This week we revisit the film to find everything it does right, and see what managed to age well.

We're kicking off our third video games month with one of the most notorious adaptations: 2005's DOOM starring The Rock and Karl Urban. Sure, it takes plenty of liberties with the source material, but there's still some positives to be had... right?
