5 Underappreciated Sci-Fi Films II
The Underappreciated Films series has been one of my all-time favorite projects. I've been looking to do another one so let's look at some more underappreciated sci-fi films!

A slow-paced drama, trying to be a SF eagerly.
Colonel, for what it means, I think my father is dead. I can fully understand that when you haven’t heard from a friend who lives a few blocks away for a long time, you get prepped and plan a visit to the person in question. Just like that. Just to find out why he or she hasn’t been in touch all this time. And to check whether everything is still alright. In most cases, you’re actually not going to experience anything exciting or breathtaking along the way. Now, extrapolate this situation to a much greater distance. From Earth to Neptune, for example. That’s an enormously long time that you are on the road. And if you’re lucky, you won’t come across any life-threatening or perilous situations either. In short, you are on a spaceship, feeling at ease and try to kill some time. Maintaining your ecosystem daily. Going through your huge pile of magazines full of crosswords that need to be solved. Or you give your spaceship a decent scrubbing every week. All sorts of things so as not to get mad out of boredom. I’m afraid that many home viewers will do the same things while watching “Ad Astra“.

My Review of 'Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers'
In this documentary: Bob Lazar: Area 51 and Flying Saucers, the filmmaker makes it apparent that Bob Lazar is an absolutely interesting person. Not only is he a brilliant person but his mind is curious and he has moral obligations.

James Reviews - 'Alita: Battle Angel'
Anime and manga adaptations have been a tricky subject for Hollywood, and when I say "tricky" I mean "they manage to make it so horrendously awful." However, after 2017s Ghost in the Shell, there are hints that they're learning and getting better at bringing the source material to the screen. With Alita: Battle Angel, it's safe to say that the age of good live-action anime movies may finally be upon us. Sure there's some melodramatic acting and villains that never become three-dimensional characters, but the action is packed with excitement and Rodriguez's style is found all over the place.

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.
