Reviewing the best science fiction movies from the past, present, and future.
Most Anticipated Science Fiction Movies in 2018
What makes a sci-fi movie sci-fi is that it uses the visual conventions of the future to ask philosophical questions about the present and the human condition in general. What does it mean to be free, to be human, or good? These are the sorts of questions explored by the best sci-fi, and by the most anticipated science fiction movies in 2018.

'Pacific Rim Uprising' Review
I'm a huge fan of robots fighting kaijus. I'm a giant fan of franchises like Godzilla, Gamera, and King Kong. I fell in love with the first Pacific Rim film when it first came out because, like the before mentioned franchises, all you really want to see are giant monstrosities beat each other up for supreme dominance.

Review: 'Pacific Rim: Uprising'. Top Story - March 2018.
While the first Pacific Rim film had over-the-top characters and was very silly in tone, it had great action, stunning visual effects, and was really fun. That was mainly thanks to Guillermo Del Toro being director.

'A Wrinkle in Time'
"Meg Murry and her little brother, Charles Wallace, have been without their scientist father, Mr. Murry, for five years, ever since he discovered a new planet and used the concept known as a tesseract to travel there. Joined by Meg's classmate, Calvin O'Keefe, and guided by the three mysterious astral travelers known as Mrs. Whatsit, Mrs. Who and Mrs. Which, the children brave a dangerous journey to a planet that possesses all of the evil in the universe." A technical, word for word definition of the summary of A Wrinkle in Time.

Best Animated Sci-Fi Movies Ever Made
Animation has given us a bundle of well-written and entrancing stories to enjoy, from the likes of The Land Before Time, to even the less known Ed Edd n' Eddy. It doesn't matter if you like the more niche community of Japanese anime, you sure do know it exists. Ignoring movies like The Incredibles and The Brave Little Toaster (absolute classics in their own right), I'd rather take a look at our wildest science fiction anime iterations taken from the likes of the most conceptual and talented films on sci-fi.

The 'Looper' Paradox: Why Cid STILL Becomes the Rainmaker!
Writer and director Rian Johnson has recently PISSED OFF a lot of Star Wars fans over his film, Star Wars: The Last Jedi. I'll write about these people later, but today, I'm gonna be talking about another one of Johnson's films, which is better than The Last Jedi, and one of my new favorite movies: Looper.

Common Man's View: 'The Cloverfield Paradox'
I call it a common man's review because I have no experience as a critic, no mastery of language to make me a great wordsmith, and no power over my own mind to break through my own opinions. These are really becoming less like reviews though and more like rants about things within movies in general. With that said, J.J Abrams is a genius and the Cloverfield series of movies is something I hope never comes to an end...and after this movie, I suspect it won't.

Common Man's View: 'Bright'
I call it a common man's review because I have no experience as a critic, no mastery of language to make me a great wordsmith, and no power over my own mind to breakthrough my own opinions. These are really becoming less like reviews though, and more like rants about things within movies in general. But hey, Will Smith, amiright?

Review of 'Alistair1918'
Alistair1918 from 2016 is charming, special, altogether superb little feature movie (on Amazon Prime) with a frame on time travel you don't find very often if at all. The Alistair in the title is a British soldier on the Western front in 1918, who gets blown into a wormhole and ends up in present-day Los Angeles. There's no action at all in France. It's all in LA, where Alistair is befriended by a wannabe documentary film maker — Poppy (played by director Annie K. McVey) — who works with her estranged and skeptical husband, a dedicated young cameraman, and eventually a French scientist (Sophie, played by Amy Motta who appeared on Mad Men) who understands time travel, in an effort to get Alistair back to 1918 and his beloved wife.

Common Man's View 'iBoy'
I call it a common man's review because I have no experience as a critic, no mastery of language to make me a great wordsmith, and no power over my own mind to breakthrough my own opinions. With that being said, I find myself quite in awe of the minds behind the great works of science fiction. Frank Herbert, Isaac Asimov, Orson Scott Card, George Lucas, The Wachowskis—what, did you think it was all old masterpieces? Every fantasy I have seems to revolve around some great scientific breakthrough-typically time travel or teleportation. iBoy though—well that would suit me just as well.
