Based on a Carl Sagan novel this movie is pure perfection, even Matthew McConaughey was really good in his role as a man of cloth (yeah right). Robert Zemeckis showed that after Forrest Gump he can still make great serious movies. With relatively big budget this movie could afford awesome special effects, that survived the [...]

And here is the big movie from 2010, I checked it out recently and wanted to see it for a second time, to write a better and more balanced review. The hype that this movie produced is similar to Black Swan nowadays, and I think that all those reviews are written by people still under [...]

With the upcoming remake (or reboot, redraw whatever the fuck they call it) of this movie, it is prime time to check out the original movie starring the irreplaceable Sylvester Stallone ( I mean that in a funny context) and Max von Sydow (not funny, he is great). I think that they could have use [...]

This movie was so close to the so bad that it is good category that it is unbelievable… The only thing that saved it was a big budget, and the fact that it is about an alien invasion, and those are the only two elements that I found interesting and worth watching. The script is [...]

Ahhh, the eighties, a beautiful decade that yielded many great movies, and this is one of them. I have seen it a long time ago and since then it had a special place in my heart. It in many ways transcends its script and creates a universe of its own, that only the movies from [...]

This Swiss science fiction movie is one step from perfection, but it shows that even that one step is too much if its too big. Everything is done very well, the atmosphere, the special effects, and the whole vibe of the spaceship. Than you would think it is the acting that is bad, but that [...]

Based on a short story by Richard Matheson, this very original thriller/science fiction movie is really strange. Although the story is excellent, and by that I mean the box thing the rest is pretty usual, this movie could not hold a decent pace. And it fails to deliver the expected amounts of suspense and vibe. Acting [...]

Many will argue that John Carpenter started to lose it with this flick, and that is true to some extent. There a lot of inconsistencies that plague the movie, and that are plain overlooked. For me the most annoying thing was something that I could not quite define, and than it hit, its the camera. [...]

I think that only the latest Screamers movie was something that I hated and is based on stories of Philip K. Dick (A Scanner Darkly, Impostor, Screamers, Total Recall,Blade Runner). Directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise and Max von Sydow, this movie could not fail. Well I guess that big budget and great [...]

You knew that this day would come, and it came. Huh, I did not see Avatar in 3d, or in a theater or under the influence of drugs, and I guess that influenced my review greatly. First of all I must separate two aspects of this movie, one is the special effects and the second [...]

Directed by famous (and now ultra popular Tim Burton) this movie is highly underrated. I guess everyone expecting something more in line of his classic movies, and not this type of parody. So before you check it out, you might wanna check out some of the hype sixties, seventies and even eighties cheesy movies of [...]

Galaxy Quest is a movie about Star Trek and their fans. It is really funny and I liked how they derived humor both from the series and the real life events. So, cast of the cult TV show (that is almost the same as Star Trek) is a strange group of individuals, each with his [...]

Another great adaptation of another great post apocalyptic novel. This time there is no room for humor (like in A Boy And His Dog), or anything hopeful. Only thing that remains is the gray sky and the gray shades of people. The demolished cities and vast emptiness of the land are the scenery. A father [...]

I have not seen this good science fiction movie in a long time. I was a bit lazy and have not seen it for a couple of months because I taught it would be boring, but after i saw it, I realized how wrong I was. Granted, the movie is by general public opinion considered [...]

This forgotten blast from the past you must not miss. It served as an inspiration for the developers of the Fallout video games, and if you played them it will be that much better for you. I just love that post apocalyptic vibe, everything destroyed and the few groups of survivors fighting for what is [...]

First of, this is not a manga cartoon, the style of animation somewhat resembles them but that is due to a lack of money in production. This is a classical Alien ripoff flick. On some strange planet, miners discover a strange object that later on gets picked up by a space ship that needs to [...]

Another Darren Aronofsky masterpiece that redefined science fiction. With three stories that intersect but still are set in different times he really managed to make a work of art, with very strange and  abstract scenes with breathtaking beauty. All three stories follow mans quest for eternal love and immortality, a common theme in myths and movies. [...]

This mixture of Alien, Dead Space Downfall and other movies regarding infections on a remote space station is somewhat good. The effects are great, and the production values are good also, but the story is heard a thousand times before, and a couple of plot twists you can sense at the beginning of the flick. [...]

First things first, this is a low budget, poorly constructed and directed movie. Special effects are  lame, people are randomly hitting keyboard buttons half of movie, and there are some acting problems. Those are the bad things, but there is one thing that is so good that it overshadows all that crap and that is [...]

I guess this should be the Blade Runner of this decade, and they almost pulled it off. Although it is based on a comic, this movie incorporates some original elements. And the word original should be taken with some consideration in this movie, since apart from few ideas that are original it uses the classical [...]
