movie review

Reviewing the best science fiction movies from the past, present, and future.

Review of 'In the Shadow of the Moon'
So I saw an odd, little, strangely compelling movie on Netflix the other night, just as our clocks were slipping back an hour. Turns out that that timing, for want of a better word, was just right.

Review of 'Terminator: Dark Fate'
So here we go again. The critics panned it. The box-office in the first few days is not impressive. All manner of self-appointed prognosticators pronounce the franchise deader than an outmoded Terminator model, because that's what it is.

'Terminator: Dark Fate' Review—A Mediocre Rehash
You know those scenes in the Terminator franchise where they shoot the Terminator over and over again trying to kill it and once you think it's dead and gone for good, it just refuses to die and keeps coming back?

Review of 'Mnemophrenia'
I just watched Mnemophrenia, put up yesterday on Amazon and made last year. It's a brilliant, provocative, startlingly original movie, with no actresses and actors I've heard of, and written, directed, and produced by Eirini Konstantinidou, her first time out with a feature-length movie. I'll predict flatly that Mnemophrenia is destined to become a classic, and the first of movies made by Konstantinidou that will be similarly received.

'Alien' Review
Ridley Scott’s Alien was released in the summer of 1979 and has since become an iconic movie that has spawned an eight film franchise. It has inspired many works in the genres of horror and sci-fi across multiple forms of media. It's often described as a classic and a must-see film. As such, I was very interested in watching this movie once it came back to theaters through Fathom Events. Admittedly, I don't really gravitate towards anything that's classified as horror and I certainly never go to the theater to watch movies of this genre. However, because this movie is held in such high regard, I felt it would be best if I experienced it in the theater for my first viewing.

'Gemini Man' REVIEW—Generic and Bland
There are some movies you'll remember, such as Avengers: Endgame or Back to the Future. As in, movies so iconic and memorable that you remember their titles. This movie, on the other hand, will forever be remembered as "that movie where Will Smith fights his younger self."

'In the Shadow of the Moon' (2019)
If you kill me now… the world as you know it will end in a very short time. Yeah. Once again a movie about time traveling. Always interesting to see how they incorporated the paradox of time travel. And there’s always going to be someone who claims something isn’t right. Not that I really care about that because I still don’t know anyone who has actually traveled through time to provide proof whether changes in the past may or may not affect the future. Perhaps that would provide proof of whether the grandfather paradox is plausible or not. So, for me, it’s still pure Sci-Fi. And that results in enjoyable films such as About Time, I’ll Follow You Down or Predestination. And this Netflix Original certainly wasn’t that bad either.

My Unbiased Review of 'Total Recall' 2012, a Stunning Remake
This review does not summarize the movie. It offers an honest opinion and my personal perspective on the film. If you have not seen this movie, this review will definitely inspire you to watch it! If you have seen this movie, this review will give you a new appreciation for the film.

'Ad Astra': Is It Worth the Journey?
Luke, I am your father... Another movie about an astronaut with daddy issues—at least that’s what I came away with after seeing Ad Astra. But there’s real issues explored here, and the near future panoramic journey to the Moon, Mars and Neptune gives us enough to think about. There is one very pertinent question above all others, though. Is it worth the very introspective 123 minute journey?

'Ad Astra': A Fanboy Reviews
Ad Astra follows Brad Pitt's Roy McBride as he attempts to navigate a near-future solar system to retrieve his father from the outer reaches, stopping off at multiple human outposts along the way.

'Ad Astra' is a Movie Everyone Should See
Ad Astra, a science fiction thriller directed by James Gray, projects far into the future of space exploration. The story deals with a man, Roy Mcbride (Brad Pitt), who has to go on a mission to stop his father, Clifford Mcbride (Tommy Lee Jones) from causing catastrophic, irreversible damage to the solar system. Clifford had gone on a mission called the Lima Project, the first space mission beyond the solar system in search for extraterrestrial life powered by antimatter. Through the mission, the antimatter compartment was damaged, which caused major power surges throughout the solar system which could potentially destroy all life. Roy is then sent to Mars to plea for his dad to stop.

20 Years Out, Does 'The Matrix' Still Have You?
I don't remember the first time I saw The Matrix, but 10-year-old me was entirely too young to have seen it in theaters in 1999. I didn't get my hands on it until a few years later, in the midst of junior high. I coerced my mom into renting the VHS for me from Blockbuster so many times that we accrued a late fee or two because I kept my hands on it for so long.
