The Fate of the Furious (2017) -
While I still firmly believe that "cinematic experiences" like D-BOX are just gimmicky cash grabs, this film was a lot of fun in D-BOX. Popcorn flicks like this with a lot of action sequences are perfect for that format.
I still don't understand how this series went from stealing DVD players to superhero level ops, but it's an entertaining ride if you're willing to go along with it. It's over-the-top, and completely ridiculous at times, but I think it somehow really works for what this franchise has turned into.
I did find Vin Diesel a bit boring in this, especially in comparison to his more interesting co-stars. Dwayne Johnson is basically the Hulk in this film, and Jason Statham gets to stretch his Transporter legs again, which is always a pleasure to watch. It's been a long time since I walked out of the theatre with a smile on my face, so this was a rather pleasant surprise. Or maybe the seat moving around and shaking so much just scrambled my brains.
