Never mind the Big Bang, for many the social upheaval and the meeting of a few bored young men, two special women, and one radical entrepreneur, set alight, and arguably changed the world, in a way that made the Big Bang seem quite dull in comparison.

It is a tale of divided generations, the ones that have been fortunate, blessed even, to find themselves in a time when cinematic adaptions of their favourite Marvel characters has by and large been positive, the reception for example of the transfer to television with some of what may be considered minor hitters from the long list of heroes and villains finding themselves to be just as  rightly adored as the perpetual is a symbol of the staying power of the dominance that Marvel has over its rivals in creating the hero for our time.

Cast: Peter Capaldi, Jenna Coleman, Donald Sumpter, Ken Bones, Clare Higgins, Maisie Williams, T’Nia Miller, Malachi Kirby, Linda Broughton, Martin T. Sherman, Jami Reid-Quarrell, Nicholas Briggs, Ross Mullan.

Living for a few thousand years would be enough for anybody of sound mind and disposition to start feeling the pressure of existence. When that person has been held captive, held hostage in a diabolical prison by the very people he saved, for over four billion years, it’s really not a surprise that the mind might fracture, that the one thing that kept the mind truly occupied during that time was the death of a much trusted and loved companion; it really is only to be certain that the mind is Hell Bent on revenge.

The hidden, those that seek asylum and keep themselves out of sight down a maze or concealed nest of alleyways and secret hideouts, a place where the unnoticed go about their business and a place where even The Doctor doubts their existence. Into such a street comes the best of traps, the finest of well laid out plans to deceive The Doctor and which to ensnare him and make those around him accept their own final destiny and Face The Raven.

How would it be if you could be immortal? That every single ripple of Humanity’s suffering for ever would in some way touch your heart and then corrode it, tarnish it against the pain and eventually leave you cold and as unfeeling a rock in the baked and merciless deserts. Immortality comes at a price, life is something that no longer becomes precious and the cost to the soul can be devastating.

The Falling, Film Review. Picturehouse@F.A.C.T, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 5/10

Cast: Maisie Williams, Maxine Peake, Florence Pugh, Anna Burett, Greta Scacchi, Rose Caton, Lauren McCrostie, Katie Ann Knight, Evie Hooten, Monica Dolan, Mathew Baynton, Morfydd Clark, Joe Cole.

The Falling is full of style, intrigue; a cast dominated by wonderful actresses and full of potential and yet, despite all this, leaves the cinema goer feeling flatter than an uncooked pancake sitting in a café, untouched, alone and as indigestible as a school meal in the 1970s.
