Movie of the week: buy “Circle of Fire: The Revolt”, with John Boyega, for R $ 9.90!

Every Thursday Apple chooses a Movie of the week at the iTunes Store, whose purchase (even in 4K / HDR, depending on production) R $ 9.90. The title selected this time was “Circle of Fire: The Revolt”, with John Boyega.

Check out his trailer:

Here is the synopsis of the film:

John Boyega (“Star Wars” series) is the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a promising Jaeger pilot, whose legendary father gave his own life to guarantee the victory of humanity against the monstrous “Kaiju”. Now an even more frightening alien threat has emerged in the world and Jake has been called back into action by his former co-pilot, Lambert (Scott Eastwood), and a 15-year-old hacker Jaeger, Amara (Cailee Spaeny). Created to become the most powerful defense force to walk on earth, they live a new and spectacular adventure, of monumental proportions.

As usual, our reader Renato Alan Promenzio [@tripalavra], who is a movie buff, also sent us a personalized comment about the film:

I know that sequences are complicated, save for rare exceptions – and in this case it was no different. The first film in the franchise was interesting, this one not so much, even if it brings back memories of “Spectreman”, “Jaspion”, among others with their final robot battles vs. monsters. The script is shallow, nothing new is presented to us, the cast is reasonable and the result, along the same lines. My recommendation is that if you like the genre or you miss the Japanese series that marked generations, go for it! In addition, wait for next week’s film.
