By stepping up his A-game, Maki shows that with the right tools, you can turn your creative passion into the soundtrack of a generation.

MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE review: A fun, action-packed version of the 80s animated series that fans, old and new, will enjoy!

 By: Edgar Allan E. Yu

I had an absolute blast watching the new MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE! As a longtime fan of the original TV series from my childhood, I admit I went in with low expectations, especially after being disappointed by the recent animated reboots. But this movie completely exceeded those doubts and delivered an experience that was both thrilling and heartfelt.

The cinematography, costumes, and set design are truly impressive, capturing the essence of the original series while elevating it to a whole new level. The film balances humor and heart perfectly, making it enjoyable for fans old and new. The fight scenes are nothing short of spectacular, packed with energy and creativity that keep you engage with the characters. The sound design by Daniel Pemberton with electric guitar work by Brian May of Queen, brought me back to the 80s sci-fi and fantasy films. 

Nicholas Galitzine shines in the dual role of Adam and the heroic He-Man, bringing a relatable charm to the character. Camila Mendes as Teela is not only stunning but also brings strength and depth to her role. Jared Leto’s portrayal of Skeletor is pitch-perfect—this might just be his most fun and memorable role yet. Director Travis Knight, known for Bumblebee, masterfully maintains the campy, quirky vibe of the original show while raising the bar with intense, well-choreographed action sequences. Watching the film feels like seeing the beloved cartoon come to life in the best way possible.

This movie was clearly made with fans in mind, but it also opens the door wide for new generations of action and fantasy lovers. Don’t miss the mid-credits and post-credit scenes—there are three of them, and they set up what promises to be an exciting sequel. Now I'm on my way to a third screening !

This Pride Month, Ayala Malls Cinemas brings bold, cinematic storytelling this Pride Month starting June 10 with the acclaimed film from visionary director Luca Guadagnino (Call Me by Your Name, and Challengers), “QUEER,” based on the novel by William S. Burroughs. In 2024, the film made its mark as an Official Competition entry at the 81st Venice International Film Festival, where it received a 9-minute standing ovation, proving its emotional impact and artistic acclaim.

Starring Daniel Craig as William Lee and Drew Starkey as Eugene Allerton, alongside Lesley Manville, Jason Schwartzman, Henrique Zaga, and Omar Apollo, “QUEER” is set in 1950s Mexico City and follows William, an American expatriate living in isolation within a small foreign community. His life shifts when he meets Eugene, a young student who awakens in him a powerful and unexpected sense of connection: one that challenges solitude, desire, and the possibility of love itself.

In adapting William S. Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical and unfinished novel, Luca Guadagnino has described the story as one rooted in tenderness rather than detachment, emphasizing that Burroughs’ work reveals a side beneath its complex writing, with a quieter emotional landscape beneath its literary mythology. In this vision, love is not defined by distance or impossibility, but by the attempt, even though it’s imperfect and fragile, to reach one another.

Get to know the forces of evil led by the nefarious Skeletor in “Masters of the Universe”

 COLUMBIA PICTURES

New featurette available!

Jared Leto stars as Skeletor in Masters of the Universe

In Masters of the Universe Eternia has fallen under the the forces of Skeletor, and it’s up to He-Man, who has returned from his Earthly exile, to fight back. He is not alone, as fighting by his side are other heroes of Eternia determined to take back their planet, but Skeletor also has his allies. In the newest “Forces of Evil” vignette, the filmmakers put the spotlight on the skull-faced tyrant, and the villainous warriors under his rule.

Watch the “Forces of Evil” vignette: https://youtu.be/nvi64wX5YkQ

“Skeletor, on his surface, seems like he just wants power and he's willing to do whatever it takes, but it's what's lacking in him that makes him want that power,” says producer Jason Blumenthal. “And what's lacking in him is what's inside of Adam. I’d call it a moral compass. You either have one or you don't. And if you don't, you are evil.”

The filmmakers tapped Jared Leto to voice the iconic villain, with the actor being a massive He-Man fan bringing a solid knowledge of the character into his performance. He understands that as menacing as Skeletor is, there’s still a lot of fun to be had in the role. . “We were shooting a scene and I was laughing so hard that he brought me to tears,” director Travis Knight says of Leto. “He will make these choices that you don't see coming and that really does help to make Skeletor distinctive. He's just an extraordinarily memorable villain.”

Alison Brie plays Evil-Lyn in Masters of the Universe

Evil-Lyn, played by Alison Brie, is a cunning enchantress that serves as Skeletor’s right hand. For Brie, getting into character needed just the right mix of menace and surprisingly, comedy. “I think the most exciting thing to me about this iteration of He-Man is the sense of humor,” Brie says. “Skeletor and Evil-Lyn had a really funny rapport in the original series. Some of the iterations since then have been more serious, and I like that this movie has a meta quality. It's able to laugh at itself, but also deliver for the fans and take itself seriously when it needs to.” 

There’s also the turbulent relationship between Evil-Lyn and Skeletor, which can be pretty toxic in Brie’s opinion. “She vacillates between sort of loving Skeletor, and idolizing him, and being very excited for him to get the power, but secretly she wants to have all the power,” Brie says. “She knows how to press his buttons, but she's also there to build him up. She notoriously has no loyalty to Skeletor. She likes to pretend that she does, but we all know the power dynamic between Evil-Lyn and Skeletor is super volatile.”

Another fighter in Skeletor’s roster of villains is the cyborg Trap Jaw, an intimidating mish-mash of parts with an even nastier bite. There is quite a bit of prosthetic work to be a part of Skeletor’s army, and for actor Sam C. Wilson, it’s part of the process of embodying the role. “The way that I play him, he's a really gruesome kind of guy,” Wilson says. “His jaw hurts his head, so he's got a headache and none of it is very comfortable. With the amazing work that the prosthetics team has done, I can make this guy feel eerie and strange.”

6-foot-9 bodybuilder and 2018’s World’s Strongest Man Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson credits He-Man as an inspiration for his journey as a strongman, and is stoked to be a part of Masters of the Universe. He plays Goat Man, a demonic figure with massive horns on his head. “All of us were at some point influenced by these characters, which were so popular back in the day,” Björnsson says. “I grew up with the generation that had He-Man, and being able to be a part of this was just an honor for me.”

Ayala Malls Cinemas unleashes a new tale of terror with the exclusive release of “Obsession”

 

Arrives in the PH May 27 with Early Access Screenings on May 23

Ayala Malls Cinemas expands its roster of curated, world-class exclusive titles with critically acclaimed, original horror film Obsession. The movie is directed by a new voice in horror, Curry Barker, who went viral for his 2024 found footage horror film Milk & Serial. Obsession is a story of a hopeless romantic, who in a desperate bid to capture the heart of the girl he likes, makes a wish on a kitschy “One Wish Willow” toy. He finds himself getting exactly what he needs, but soon discovers that wishes can come with a dark, sinister price.

Director Baker shares his motivation for weaving this dark story for the big screen. “With Obsession, I wanted to tell a story about how far someone’s fixation on another person can go. At what point does something we call love stop being love? And beyond that, what does the word “love” even mean?” 

Baker also wants his film to leave a lasting impression on the viewers, stating, “I want people leaving the theater still talking - arguing over how they felt, what they would have done differently, and whether what they saw was love or obsession.”
