“The Project X” .. an adventure in the heart of the pyramids
Although the season’s films were released in the Egyptian theaters several days ago without waiting until the night of Eid, which allowed the eager to watch them immediately, they will not become available in the Gulf countries except with the first days of Eid al -Adha.
The first and most awaited Arab movie is “The Project X”, which is an action film directed by Peter Mimi and was written by Ahmed Hosni, starring Karim Abdel Aziz, Iyad Nassar, Yasmine Sabry, Ahmed Ghazi and Issam El -Sakka. It is one of the most prominent summer season films, especially with what is known about Peter Mimi’s works that usually succeed commercially and achieve high revenues.
The hero of the work is Youssef (Karim Abdel Aziz), an archaeologist accused of killing his wife, but he is leaving the psychiatric hospital by a criminal (Iyad Nassar) to lead a team with the aim of finding a secret room within the Great Pyramid, which forced them to go into many interesting and unexpected adventures.
The work is distinguished by impressive visual effects, attractive cinematic image, and good implementation of the scenes of the movement, and that it is a weakening of the plot and the superficial women’s presence, so that it becomes sad to waste a budget of this size on a humiliating plot. However, work was able to achieve more than 29 million Egyptian pounds during the first week of its offer, which makes us in front of a new work that may join the list of the highest Egyptian films profit.
“Restart” .. Laughter at the account of the content
While “The Project X” is betting on excitement and adventures, Tamer Hosni prefers mixing comedy with romance in his movie “Restart”, which was previously postponed twice, during which the “star of the generation” came back to cooperate with here the ascetic after their previous experience in the movie “I love you”, which achieved high revenues but was not desirable by critics.
The film revolves around a simple young man who dreams of marrying his impressive girlfriend, which is immersed on social media platforms, and in an attempt to earn money, they decide to resort to the culture of “trend” and search for fame in any possible way, even if this was done with fake tricks or underestimated experiences.
Despite the importance of the work message, it is no longer fresh, as it was previously dealt with by other works, such as the movie “House of Ruby” and the series “The Highest Watch”. Does Tamer Hosni add a new or another depth of the issue?
“Restart”, written by Ayman Bahjat Qamar, directed by Sarah Wafik, starring Tamer Hosni, Hana Al -Zahid, Basem Samra, Muhammad Tharwat, Issam El -Sakka, and Mimi Jamal.

For lovers of excitement films, you can enjoy the movie “Final Distinence: Blaudlains”, which came to awaken horror from his slumber. It is the sixth part of the series, which was the last appearance on the big screen in 2011.
As usual, the chain, during the work, we follow a group of heroes who face death in ways that combine ambiguity and terror in the hope of being able to escape from it. Although the audience’s assessments of work varied between looting and affirmative, critics expressed their approval of this part and its technically superiority over the previous parts.
With this diversity between the local and the global, and between laughter and blood, it is confirmed that this year’s holiday cinema provides a heavy meal that is difficult to classify within one template.
