  1. Planes
    The film feels second-rate in every sense, from the quality of its animation to its C-list voice cast.
  2. The Lucky One
    At this point, Sparksian romances unfold via their own preordained formula, and measures of their merits largely hinge on how well each can bend the cookie-cutter.
  3. Random Acts of Violence
    For all of its ostensible thoughtfulness, in trying to describe “real art,” Random Acts of Violence ultimately doesn’t describe anything at all.
  4. Krystal
    The gravity of Krystal's situation is undermined at every turn by the filmmakers' excessively broad, comedic strokes.
  5. The Dirt
    Like most biopics, The Dirt crams so many events into its narrative as to compromise the sense that these are real characters in the here and now.
  6. Snowmen
    I'm not sure what part of Snowmen doesn't scream completely inappropriate, sentimental Manichean drivel.
  7. Bonsai People: The Vision of Muhammad Yunus
    In the end, it feels unavoidably dull, as there isn't much thematic ambiguity to be found in the assertion that humans deserve life that's defined by more than indentured servitude.
  8. Tai Chi Hero
    Stephen Fung's pop-up graphics and jazzy fight scenes feel part of an unwieldy mix in which the director just throws whatever half-baked conceits up on the screen he feels like.
  9. How to Plan an Orgy in a Small Town
    The ingenuity of writer-director Jeremy LaLonde's film ends with its title.
  10. Ava
    Ava isn’t only banal, but also, in its half-hearted stabs at novel ideas, seemingly content with its banality.
  11. Him
    The film leaves you wishing that the aspirational way the sport is presented in real life had been read for filth.
  12. Phantom Halo
    A genre mishmash cobbled together from the refuse of disparate visual and narrative modes.
  13. Bubble & Squeak
    Evan Twohy’s attempt to smuggle some sincerity into this largely absurdist tale shows that he isn’t especially committed to coherence.
  14. Mile 22
    When Mark Wahlberg's Silva isn't wielding run-on sentences as military-grade weapons, he barks out derivative commands and asinine statements that make him sound like a 13-year-old playing Call of Duty.
  15. Angels Crest
    Angels Crest opens with the laughter of children at play, but that's the only hint of happiness you'll find in this unflinchingly manipulative and pointless morality play.
  16. Jack Goes Home
    The film veers almost at random from ghost story to family drama to erotic thriller to black comedy.
  17. Submergence
    Submergence's globetrotting only succeeds at exposing the hollowness of the characters at the film's center.
  18. Entourage
    If ever there was a movie equivalent of dad bod, Entourage is it.
  19. Run with the Hunted
    Some of the film’s narrative threads are frustratingly unresolved, while others are wrapped up in arbitrary fashion.
  20. Terminator Genisys
    Terminator Genisys feels like being trapped in a conversation with a child breathlessly recounting the highlights of the preceding movies.
  21. Gemini Man
    Whatever new technology facilitated its genesis, the film is just another assembly-line reproduction.
  22. The Green Inferno
    The savagery here is rooted in retrograde myths that might have been easier to stomach had the cannibalism been positioned as a fantastical unleashing of retribution.
  23. Men in Black: International
    The film wastes its charismatic leads in a parade of wacky CG creations whose occasional novelty is drowned out by its incessance.
  24. All Eyez on Me
    The tension between verisimilitude and economy of storytelling dictates everything in All Eyez on Me.
  25. The Vatican Tapes
    Like technological innovation itself, the film seems overwhelmed by the reach of all its techo-cultural parts.
  26. One Spoon of Chocolate
    The slower it moves, the more obvious One Spoon of Chocolate’s deficiencies become.
  27. Ouija
    The film consistently settles for the cheapest shock devices and the most shopworn totems of our current neo-gothic moment in the genre.
  28. No Escape
    The only way that this film could be any more racist is if the Dwyer family holed up with Lillian Gish and waited for the Klan to save them.
  29. The November Man
    Roger Donaldson embellishes an already overly plotty scenario with hollowly attractive genre superfluities.
  30. Flight Risk
    Given that Mel Gibson makes little attempt to instill any sense of physicality to this dispiritingly paint-by-numbers affair, it becomes easy to understand the marketing of the film’s 4DX theatrical option as an act of overcompensation.
