A version of this review originally appeared on CineChat. Though Wonder Woman 1984 came out in 2020, like many based in the UK I was unable to see it upon its initial release.

Sharknado 4: The 4th Awakens
I have always loved the Sharknado franchise. It’ s beautifully, charmingly hilarious.

Star Trek Beyond
The second sequel and the last movie of this month is Star Trek Beyond.
