Not ideal to watch this for the first time on an aeroplane, but Pandora still looked beautiful. It’s a good movie, but more a familiar story wrapped in a different setting than anything groundbreaking.
Tense and atmospheric - Andrew Scott does a fine job in his portrayal of Stagg; in fact the whole casting is a job well done.
Remains a fantastically fun and fine introduction to time travel movie. This is rightly a classic 80s movie, but there are some significant plot holes; especially when Marty returns to 1985.

My first time at Monster Jam, which took place at Zurich’s Hallenstadion. The format consists of four events, with the audience judging the drivers through a web app. Just after the interval, there was also a motorbike event featuring plenty of airtime.
It was thoroughly entertaining, and the time flew by. Grave Digger was the overall winner, but Sparkle Smash provided the best visual moment of the day when it showered the arena with confetti.
Complimentary earplugs were provided, and the fumes weren’t particularly noticeable despite the event taking place indoors. I’m not sure whether another show would feel too similar, but it was definitely worth experiencing at least once.
