Christopher Nolan, Wally Pfister, Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman… The big names attached to this film as well as the potentially great story all promised a pretty awesome movie. The movie, however, did not live...

When I saw the first preview of this film, it appealed to me as a sci-fi thriller fan. I had every intention of going to the theaters to see it, but alas, I waited too long. Meanwhile, Gravity won several...

2010-Present, Action, Adventure, Movie Reviews, Science Fiction

Oblivion (2013): Visually Stunning but Without Content or Originality

Manon de Reeper
February 11, 2014
2010-Present, Action, Adventure, Movie Reviews, Science Fiction
Oblivion was a movie I’d been looking forward to as I'm a huge (dystopian) sci-fi fan. Unfortunately, it was quite a disappointment. Rarely have I seen a movie as unoriginal as this one. In Oblivion,...

In Elysium, the world has gone to shit. It is heavily polluted and poverty has risen to extremely high levels - the ghettos stretch as far as you can see. This is where the poor working class lives. The rich...

Movie Reviews, Oldies (1950-1989), Science Fiction, Thriller
The following contains spoilers! Most people I tell about THX 1138 have never heard of it before. When I tell them it was George Lucas' first feature-length film, they look at me dumbfounded. Though, if...
