From Sentosha and makeshift Dodgeball competitions, to ever-popular Dero!, it’s perhaps surprising not to find more of these making the jump over to Western audiences, especially given how popular and fun these are....

Ultimately this makes Set It Up too formulaic to be remembered for years to come and feels more like an enjoyable, fleeting flick rather than one with real lasting appeal....

After last week’s dramatic dash to save Soji, we slow down again this week for a trip down memory lane as Picard visits some old friends and the final fight looms on the horizon....
