Thor: Ragnarok

Taika Waititi · 2017

Thor: Ragnarok (2017), directed by Taika Waititi, is the third Thor film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It follows Thor’s exile to the alien planet Sakaar, his gladiatorial duel with the Hulk, and his return to Asgard to stop Hela’s conquest. With vibrant cinematography by Javier Aguirresarobe, a synth-driven score by Mark Mothersbaugh, and performances led by Chris Hemsworth, Cate Blanchett, and Tessa Thompson, the film prioritises wit, pace, and visual invention over mythic solemnity. It grossed $854 million worldwide and received praise for its direction and energy, though some critics found its themes underdeveloped and its finale visually overwhelming.

Isle of Dogs

Wes Anderson · 2018

A dictatorial mayor exiles every dog in the fictional Japanese city of Megasaki to Trash Island over a manufactured flu outbreak, and his own twelve-year-old ward hijacks a plane to find his banished bodyguard dog among them. Wes Anderson's second stop-motion feature, drawing openly on Akira Kurosawa and Hayao Miyazaki, pairs meticulous handcrafted puppetry with a plot about political corruption and canine loyalty, while drawing sustained criticism for how it handles the Japanese setting and characters within it.

Jurassic Park

Steven Spielberg · 1993

Steven Spielberg's 1993 adaptation of Michael Crichton's novel follows a Costa Rican dinosaur park that collapses once its systems, and its owner's judgement, both fail during a single act of sabotage. Combining Stan Winston's animatronics with Industrial Light & Magic's early computer-generated dinosaurs on a budget reported as either $56 or $63 million, it grossed over $914 million on its original release, briefly the highest-grossing film ever made, and won three Academy Awards for its sound and visual effects.
