The journey becomes a tool for them to confront each other and their issues. They fight with each other, they understand each other's point of views, they get to know things about each other that they never knew. It's a journey of fun, realisation, values and confusion where happiness does prevail.

Fantastic Four

Fantastic Four (stylized as Fant4stic) is a 2015 superhero film based on the Marvel Comics superhero team of the same name. It is the third theatrical Fantastic Four film to be distributed by 20th Century Fox, and a reboot of the Fantastic Four film franchise. Directed by Josh Trank, with a screenplay by Jeremy Slater, Simon Kinberg and Trank, the film stars Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Kate Mara, Jamie Bell, Toby Kebbell, Reg E. Cathey, and Tim Blake Nelson. In Fantastic Four, the team must learn to harness abilities gained from an alternate universe to save Earth from a friend turned enemy.
In this iteration of Fantastic Four, the five main characters are brought together to work on a teleportation device. When a venture into the Negative Zone goes horribly wrong, they are all transformed - Reed Richards (Miles Teller) stretches his limits as Mr. Fantastic, Sue Storm (Kate Mara) fades from view as Invisible Girl, Johnny Storm (Michael B. Jordan) heats up as The Human Torch, Ben Grimm (Jamie Bell in full motion capture glory) gets prickly as the Thing, and Victor Von Doom (Toby Kebbell) lives up to his name as Dr. Doom. After the humans have become superhumans, the story doesn't do much except contriving a way for the four heroes to fight as a team against evil megalomaniac Doom, whose modest goal is to suck our planet into a black hole.  Where are The Avengers when you need them? Oh yeah, different universe.

The Gift

The Gift is a 2015 American psychological thriller film written, produced, and directed by Joel Edgerton, making his directorial debut. The film stars Jason Bateman, Rebecca Hall, and Edgerton.

Simon doesn’t recognize Gordo (Joel Edgerton) at first, but after a seemingly coincidental series of encounters and mysterious gifts prove troubling, a horrifying secret from their past is uncovered after nearly 20 years. As Robyn learns the unsettling truth about what happened between Simon and Gordo, she starts to question: how well do we really know the people closest to us, and are past bygones ever really bygones?
