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

'Mute' (2018)
Why the hell can’t he talk anyway?It’s complicated.It’s his mother’s fault.He needs surgery.It’s against her beliefs. Fortunately, Alexander Skarsgård isn’t, by nature, a voiceless person. It would have been a strange sight, him appearing in The Legend of Tarzan, swinging around with his mouth wide open, but no sound that cuts through the jungle so everyone could hear that well-known primal cry. In Mute, he’s such a person with no sound leaving his mouth. And that because of a painful confrontation with the propeller of a motorboat (I suppose). What remains is a guy with the body of Tarzan and whose communication capacity is similar to that of Tarzan. Pretty flawed.

Ready Player One Movie Review
Released: 28th March 2018 (UK) Length: 140 Minutes Certificate: 12A Director: Steven Spielberg Since their beginnings half a decade ago, gaming has risen to become a fledgling part of pop culture, but it’s rare to see a major film release tribute them so absolutely. Spielberg, a fan of the medium himself, has now turned his attention to Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, a love letter to geek culture from the eighties to the present.

Review: 'Ready Player One'
I have been waiting a long time for this film. No, I have not read the book. I'm talking about the first Steven Spielberg film with a blockbuster sensibility for several years.

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.

"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 Most Touching Sci-Fi You've Never Seen
Enemy Mine should be praised for its focus on character, especially considering it was made in a post-Star Wars world where everyone was cranking out sci-fi spectacles.

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.

Alex Garland's 'Annihilation': A Masterpiece?
Film trailers can be a fickle bitch nowadays. Some can be too revealing while others are entirely misleading—which is why I decided to avoid most of the marketing for
