Passenger: Blu Ray Review

Cast: Lou Liobell, Melissa Leo, Jacob Scipio
Director: André Øvredal

The latest horror movie gets its kicks on Route 666 in this creepy new movie from Troll Hunter director André Øvredal.

When young travelling couple Maddie and Tyler give up their stable life and apartment to go live on the road,they witness a horrific accident on a highway, they begin to realise they didn't leave the scene alone - as a demonic presence known as The Passenger is haunting their every move.

Passenger has a very simple premise and for some two-thirds of the film, it's an effective unsettling ride that makes great fist of the rising tension and the more-or-less two-handed pairing.

Maddie's less keen on life in a van, but sees the joy it brings Tyler. Subsequently, the film taps nicely into her rising discomfort at the van life and the fact she begins to see things gives it an edge too. Wisely, rather than have the pair bicker and disagree, the story pushes them together, rather than apart.

As the early tension builds, there are some impressively upsetting moments, including a fantastic sequence in a car park that has to be seen to be believed, but taps into every woman's feeling of unease late at night.

Unfortunately though, Passenger finds itself in need of a desire to over-explain its urban myth, its connections to a Hobo code and history, thus robbing it of some of the illusion of horror.

Things are made worse when an exposition-heavy sequence sees one character spill all the details before having their head removed from their neck.

It's at this stage that Passenger abandons all pretensions of being anything more than a schlock horror fest and betrays some of the subtler edges of the start.

It'd be wrong to say this Passemger isn't worth hitching a ride with. But at some point, you'll want to get off before it's way too late.

Hot Wheels Infinite Rush Now Available on Consoles and PC

Milestone, a leading global racing game developer, and Mattel, Inc. (NASDAQ: MAT), a leading global play and family entertainment company and owner of one of the most iconic brand portfolios in the world, announced today the launch of HOT WHEELS™ Infinite Rush, now available on PlayStation®5, XBOX Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ 2, ROG XBOX Ally, ROG XBOX Ally X, and PC via Steam, Microsoft Store, and Epic Games Store.

HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush expands the fun beyond the iconic orange tracks, immersing players in a toy-scale world designed for exploration and high-speed racing fun. Players can race, explore, collect, customise, and create as they shape their own adventure across four interconnected islands packed with races and free-roaming activities.

From the bustling streets of Wheelswood to the industrial canyons of Gearville, the natural landscapes of Tentacle Bay, and the neon-lit alleys of Drifty Temples, each island has a distinctive visual identity and blends a variety of racing challenges, unexpected obstacles, and hidden collectibles. Players can freely sky-jump between the environments as they unlock new areas and events, shaping their own journey at their own pace.  

With more than 150 vehicles available at launch, ranging from iconic Hot Wheels™ Originals to legendary real-world automotive brands, players can expand their garage by completing races, taking on special events, and defeating the racing crews across the islands as they compete to earn the Rush Master title. Four distinct vehicle classes — Drifters, Speeders, Titans, and Versatiles — offer unique handling and feature a perk system that shapes performance and playstyle, encouraging players to experiment with different setups. This way, players can build a Rush Squad ready for any challenge: a four-vehicle team featuring their preferred Hot Wheels™ from each class. With a quick-switch button, they can instantly change vehicles while exploring the islands, ensuring they always have the right ride for every activity.

Customisation is at the heart of the experience, with extensive options available through Sticker and Livery editors, including wheel customisation, boost visual effects, and personalised boost and dash sound effects.

Creativity extends beyond the garage thanks to the Track Builder, which allows players to design unique routes that blend with the game world. The adaptive ground-snapping system lets track modules follow the terrain, while action markers define virtual opponents’ behaviour, including racing lines, acceleration, and braking points. With creations shareable across supported platforms*, the Track Builder offers endless opportunities for players to create, share, and compete with the wider community.

HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush also features multiplayer options, with full cross-play* support for online challenges and local split-screen** for up to four players, giving players multiple ways to compete across competitive modes, leaderboards, and asynchronous challenges.

HOT WHEELS Infinite Rush is available now on PlayStation®5, XBOX Series X|S, Nintendo Switch™ 2, ROG XBOX Ally, ROG XBOX Ally X, and PC via Steam, Microsoft Store, and Epic Games Store.

Project Hail Mary: Blu Ray Review

Cast: Ryan Gosling, Sandra Huller
Director: Phil Lord, Christopher Miller

Based on Andy "The Martian" Weir's 2021 novel of the same name, Project Hail Mary finds Ryan Gosling as Dr Ryland Grace, Earth's last hope when the sun threatens to wipe out all human life.

Waking on board an interstellar ship, Grace realises he has no idea where he is, what he's doing and why...

In 2015, Andy Weir's The Martian made a hero out of poop-filled potatoes and Matt Damon, and in doing so, turned the science into something approachable and understandable for audiences worldwide. There's a similar effect in Project Hail Mary, a move that talks about Astrophage creatures, discusses light speed and the ending of the planet as we know it.

But while The Martian made this language second nature, a lot of Project Hail Mary spends much of its time repeating the basics of big-ideas science to viewers, ensuring that this time it feels a little didactic in places.

As the story flashes before Grace's life before waking on the ship and how he's co-opted into Project Hail Mary, there's more life to be found in the past, thanks to an intriguing relationship with Hüller's deadpan Eva Stratt than the cutesier friendship that Grace evolves with arachnid-rock creature Rocky in space.

There's a distinct feel-good factor at play here in this technically impressive crowd-pleaser that gives space the level of wonderment and awe that it deserves on screen. Both Lord and Miller have mined the humour that Gosling deployed to cosmic effect in The Nice Guys, but they've also given an impressive lens to the space world too, with moments of visual flourish that feel as compelling as any image in 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Unfortunately too long, Project Hail Mary could have easily lost some 30 minutes and dulled none of its impact and while there is a sappiness and mawkish edge that creeps into toward the end of the film, what plays out in Project Hail Mary is an impressively big-screen experience that talks of connection, collaboration and co-existence.

Held together by the charismatic Gosling glue, Project Hail Mary is a warm glow of a sci-fi film, but one that will burn you if you get too close to the sunny disposition it displays at certain moments.
