- DirectorGeorges MélièsStarsGeorges MélièsVictor AndréBleuette BernonA group of astronomers go on an expedition to the Moon.This movie was remarkable! For a film that's eleventy years old, I'm surprised at how fun it still is to watch. There is a reason why the Smashing Pumpkins pay tribute to it in one of their most memorable music videos, "Tonight, Tonight". I would recommend it to anyone!
- DirectorFritz LangStarsBrigitte HelmAlfred AbelGustav FröhlichIn a futuristic city sharply divided between the working class and the city planners, the son of the city's mastermind falls in love with a working-class prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.This film is in the Top 5 of most Best of Science Fiction lists; with good reason too! I just recently watched this movie and it is fantastic. With limited dialog available, being a silent film, most of the story telling had to rely on visuals. It is in this area that the movie really shines. Beautiful scenery, wonderful choreography and a well constructed story full of memorable characters make this a must watch for anyone who is a fan of movies.
- DirectorJames WhaleStarsClaude RainsGloria StuartWilliam HarriganA scientist finds a way of becoming invisible, but in doing so, he becomes murderously insane.Honestly, I wasn't impressed by this movie. I had heard good things about it, but I'm not very accustomed to the particular style of acting present in this movie. I found most of the characters over done or annoying, however I did enjoy William Harrigan as Dr. Arthur Kemp, he was the most convincing of the entire cast for me. I do look forward to reading the book now that I have seen this movie.

- DirectorFred M. WilcoxStarsWalter PidgeonAnne FrancisLeslie NielsenA starship crew in the 23rd century goes to investigate the silence of a distant planet's colony, only to find just two survivors, a powerful robot, and the deadly secret of a lost civilization.This movie was fantastic. Anyone who enjoys Science Fiction should watch this movie. I believe it was decades ahead of its time.
- DirectorDon SiegelStarsKevin McCarthyDana WynterLarry GatesA small-town doctor learns that the population of his community is being replaced by emotionless alien duplicates.
- DirectorNathan JuranStarsWilliam HopperJoan TaylorThomas Browne HenryThe first U.S. spaceship to Venus crash-lands off the coast of Sicily on its return trip. A dangerous, lizard-like creature comes with it and quickly grows gigantic.

- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsKeir DulleaGary LockwoodWilliam SylvesterAfter uncovering a mysterious artifact buried beneath the Lunar surface, a spacecraft is sent to Jupiter to find its origins: a spacecraft manned by two men and the supercomputer HAL 9000.This movie was, and still is, a visual masterpiece. There are few movies today that look as good as this one did. Having said that, I now say this: The movie could have had 100% less monkey-men and I would have been fine with that. Honestly, I think the opening scene of 2001 soured me for the rest of the movie. However, I do want to read the novel after seeing the film.
- DirectorRoger VadimStarsJane FondaJohn Phillip LawAnita PallenbergIn the 41st century, an astronaut partakes in sexy misadventures while seeking to stop an evil scientist who threatens to bring evil back into the galaxy.
- DirectorFranklin J. SchaffnerStarsCharlton HestonRoddy McDowallKim HunterAn astronaut crew crash-lands on a planet where highly intelligent non-human ape species are dominant and humans are enslaved.In the land of Science Fiction, Charlton Heston is a sage.
- DirectorStanley KubrickStarsMalcolm McDowellPatrick MageeMichael BatesIn the future, a sadistic gang leader is imprisoned and volunteers for a conduct-aversion experiment, but it doesn't go as planned.I understand that the original story was trying to cast a negative light on lawlessness, but I didn't get that impression when watching this movie; it seemed to glorify the acts. That being said, the cinematography was amazing and the story was horrifying so if that's what the director's intention was, then spot on.
- DirectorRobert WiseStarsJames OlsonArthur HillDavid WayneTop scientists work feverishly in a secret, state-of-the-art laboratory to discover what killed the citizens of a small town and how the deadly contagion can be stopped.I really enjoyed the Michael Crichton novel and am looking forward to watching this adaptation of it.
- DirectorBoris SagalStarsCharlton HestonAnthony ZerbeRosalind CashDr Robert Neville has developed an experimental vaccine which makes him the only immune survivor of a biological catastrophe. A gang of homicidal mutants blame science for their condition and attempt to kill him.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsRobert DuvallDonald PleasenceDon Pedro ColleyIn the 25th century, a time when people have designations instead of names, a man, THX 1138, and a woman, LUH 3417, rebel against their rigidly controlled society.That George Lucas movie that I hear so much about. I'm looking forward to watching it.
- DirectorDouglas TrumbullStarsBruce DernCliff PottsRon RifkinIn a future where all flora is extinct on Earth, an astronaut is given orders to destroy the last of Earth's botany, kept in a greenhouse aboard a spacecraft.
- DirectorAndrei TarkovskyStarsNatalya BondarchukDonatas BanionisJüri JärvetA psychologist is sent to a station orbiting a distant planet in order to discover what has caused the crew to go insane.
- DirectorRené LalouxStarsBarry BostwickJennifer DrakeEric BauginOn a faraway planet where blue giants rule, oppressed humanoids rebel against their machine-like leaders.
- DirectorWoody AllenStarsWoody AllenDiane KeatonJohn BeckA nerdish store owner is revived out of cryostasis into a future world to fight an oppressive government.
- DirectorRichard FleischerStarsCharlton HestonEdward G. RobinsonLeigh Taylor-YoungA nightmarish futuristic fantasy about the controlling power of big corporations and an innocent cop who stumbles on the truth.The more movies I see Charlton Heston in, the more I enjoy his acting. I got a very A Clockwork Orange feeling from this movie for some reason (the style/setting, not the story). I thought this future was very convincing and I would be interested in reading the novel "Make Room! Make Room!" to see how similar it was.
- DirectorMichael CrichtonStarsYul BrynnerRichard BenjaminJames BrolinA robot malfunction creates havoc and terror for unsuspecting vacationers at a futuristic, adult-themed amusement park.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsDan O'BannonDre PahichBrian NarelleIn the far reaches of space, a small crew, 20 years into their solitary mission, find things beginning to go hilariously wrong.
- DirectorL.Q. JonesStarsDon JohnsonJason RobardsSusanne BentonA young man and his telepathic dog wander a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
- DirectorNorman JewisonStarsJames CaanJohn HousemanMaud AdamsIn a corporate-controlled future, an ultra-violent sport known as Rollerball represents the world, and one of its powerful athletes is out to defy those who want him out of the game.
- DirectorBryan ForbesStarsKatharine RossPaula PrentissPeter MastersonJoanna Eberhart has come to the quaint little town of Stepford, Connecticut with her family, but soon discovers there lies a sinister truth in the all too perfect behavior of the female residents.I'm reading the book now. When I finish it I will watch the movie. I have a habit of doing that and I'm only disappointed in the movie about half the time. Only half? I know, right?
- DirectorMichael AndersonStarsMichael YorkJenny AgutterRichard JordanA police officer in the future uncovers the deadly secret behind a society that worships youth.
- DirectorNicolas RoegStarsDavid BowieRip TornCandy ClarkAn alien must pose as a human to save his dying planet, but a woman and greed of other men create complications.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsRichard DreyfussFrançois TruffautTeri GarrRoy Neary, an Indiana electric lineman, finds his quiet and ordinary daily life turned upside down after a close encounter with a UFO, spurring him to an obsessed cross-country quest for answers as a momentous event approaches.I love how honest this movie seems. I don't know how else to describe it. The characters all seemed like real people. I suppose every film aspires to have that said about its characters, but this one really excelled in that respect. Richard Dreyfuss really shines in this one. I believe this movie has one of the best climaxes of all time.
- DirectorGeorge LucasStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherLuke Skywalker joins forces with a Jedi Knight, a cocky pilot, a Wookiee and two droids to save the galaxy from the Empire's world-destroying battle station, while also attempting to rescue Princess Leia from the mysterious Darth Vader.They are all just so gosh darn cute.
- DirectorPhilip KaufmanStarsDonald SutherlandBrooke AdamsJeff GoldblumWhen strange seeds drift to earth from space, mysterious pods begin to grow and invade San Francisco, replicating the city's residents one body at a time.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsSigourney WeaverTom SkerrittJohn HurtThe crew of a commercial spacecraft encounters a deadly lifeform after investigating a mysterious transmission of unknown origin.This movie is claustrophobic genius!
- DirectorGeorge MillerStarsMel GibsonJoanne SamuelHugh Keays-ByrneIn a self-destructing world, a vengeful Australian policeman sets out to stop a violent motorcycle gang.I really liked this movie. I think the story was really brave, and original for its time. I thought it was paces very well in the middle parts, but the first and last scene seemed tacked on. Maybe it's just me, but the first scene was really chaotic and vague, albeit with some really cool visuals. The last scene seemed forced to me, almost like Max wasn't in character anymore. That could have been the point of the scene, but it didn't work for me. Otherwise, the movie was great; I would still recommend it to dystopian fans over 17 who want to see a really original movie. Toecutter is an amazing character/villain.
- DirectorAndrei TarkovskyStarsAlisa FreyndlikhAleksandr KaydanovskiyAnatoliy SolonitsynA guide leads two men through an area known as the Zone to find a room that grants wishes.
- DirectorKen RussellStarsWilliam HurtBlair BrownBob BalabanA psycho-physiologist experiments with drugs and a sensory-deprivation tank and has visions he believes are genetic memories.
- DirectorMike HodgesStarsSam J. JonesMelody AndersonMax von SydowA football player and his friends travel to the planet Mongo and find themselves fighting the tyranny of Ming the Merciless to save Earth.
- DirectorIrvin KershnerStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter the Rebel Alliance are overpowered by the Empire, Luke Skywalker begins his Jedi training with Yoda, while his friends are pursued across the galaxy by Darth Vader and bounty hunter Boba Fett.I always get the 5th and 6th Star Wars mixed up, probably because I always watch them together. I remember liking them, but I don't know which one I liked better. Also Star Wars seems more Fantasy based to me than Science Fiction. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellLee Van CleefErnest BorgnineIn 1997, when the U.S. president crashes into Manhattan, now a giant maximum security prison, a convicted bank robber is sent in to rescue him.I have seen one of the "Escape from" movies, but I can't remember which one. I think there was a hang glider in it somewhere and maybe some famous female singer. Time to break out the old video player.
- DirectorGeorge MillerStarsMel GibsonBruce SpenceMichael PrestonIn the post-apocalyptic Australian wasteland, a cynical drifter agrees to help a small, gasoline-rich community get rid of a horde of bandits.I really enjoyed the first Mad Max, but this one really hit the spot for me.
- DirectorPeter HyamsStarsSean ConneryFrances SternhagenPeter BoyleA federal marshal stationed at a mining colony on the Jupiter moon of Io uncovers a drug-smuggling conspiracy. He gets no help from the workers or authorities when he finds himself marked for murder.
- DirectorRidley ScottStarsHarrison FordRutger HauerSean YoungA blade runner must pursue and terminate four replicants who stole a ship in space and have returned to Earth to find their creator.I stopped watching this movie about half way through. I should probably go back and finish it.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsHenry ThomasDrew BarrymorePeter CoyoteA troubled child summons the courage to help a friendly alien escape from Earth and return to his home planet.I like to always try to find something good to comment on in a movie because you know what they say, "If you don't have anything nice to say..."
- DirectorNicholas MeyerStarsWilliam ShatnerLeonard NimoyDeForest KelleyWith the assistance of the Enterprise crew, Admiral Kirk must stop an old nemesis, Khan Noonien Singh, from using the life-generating Genesis Device as the ultimate weapon.I don't get it with this movie. I thought it was OK, but why does everyone (Star Trek fans) say it is so great? Ricardo Montalban is a good actor and William Shatner it funny, but I must be missing something. "Wheaton! Wheaton!"
- DirectorJohn CarpenterStarsKurt RussellWilford BrimleyKeith DavidA research team in Antarctica is hunted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of its victims.
- DirectorSteven LisbergerStarsJeff BridgesBruce BoxleitnerDavid WarnerA computer hacker is abducted into the digital world and forced to participate in gladiatorial games where his only chance of escape is with the help of a heroic security program.As cheesy as this movie is, I still love it. Disney has that way about their movies, don't they?
- DirectorRichard MarquandStarsMark HamillHarrison FordCarrie FisherAfter rescuing Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt, the Rebel Alliance attempt to destroy the second Death Star, while Luke struggles to help Darth Vader back from the dark side.I always get the 5th and 6th Star Wars mixed up, probably because I always watch them together. I remember liking them, but I don't know which one I liked better. Also Star Wars seems more Fantasy based to me than Science Fiction. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJames WoodsDebbie HarrySonja SmitsA programmer at a Toronto TV station that specializes in adult entertainment searches for the producers of a dangerous and bizarre broadcast.
- DirectorDavid LynchStarsKyle MacLachlanVirginia MadsenFrancesca AnnisA Duke's son leads desert warriors against the galactic emperor and his father's evil nemesis to free their desert world from the emperor's rule.A while back I started reading the book this film was based on. I plan on finishing it and then watching the movie. I've heard it's great and I've heard it's terrible. Hooray for forming your own opinion and not taking other people's word.
- DirectorAlex CoxStarsHarry Dean StantonEmilio EstevezTracey WalterA young punk, recruited by a car repo agency, finds himself in pursuit of a Chevrolet Malibu with a huge, $20,000 bounty--and something otherworldly stashed in its trunk.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonMichael BiehnA human soldier is sent from 2029 to 1984 to stop an almost indestructible cyborg killing machine, sent from the same year, which has been programmed to execute a young woman whose unborn son is the key to humanity's future salvation.Me and my brother watched this movie late at night one time when we were young. All I remember was a lot of swearing and shooting.
- DirectorRobert ZemeckisStarsMichael J. FoxChristopher LloydLea ThompsonMarty McFly, a 17-year-old high school student, is accidentally sent 30 years into the past in a time-traveling DeLorean invented by his close friend, the maverick scientist Doc Brown.Christoper Lloyd is a genius (he plays one too). I believe this movie's one downfall is the unnecessary amount of swearing.
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsJonathan PryceKim GreistRobert De NiroA bureaucrat in a dystopic society becomes an enemy of the state as he pursues the woman of his dreams.
- DirectorRon HowardStarsDon AmecheWilford BrimleyHume CronynWhen a group of trespassing seniors swim in a pool containing alien cocoons, they find themselves energized with youthful vigor.Isn't this the movie with the water? I saw part of this movie on TV one time. I didn't know it was Science Fiction though. I guess if their are aliens it's Science Fiction. -_-
- DirectorGeoff MurphyStarsBruno LawrenceAlison RoutledgePete SmithA scientist awakens to find himself alone in the world. In a desperate attempt to search for others, he finds only two who have their own agenda.
- DirectorCharles BandStarsTim ThomersonHelen HuntMichael StefaniA gruff bounty hunter travels back in time to 1980s Los Angeles to stop a twisted criminal who can transform people into zombie-like creatures.
- DirectorJoe DanteStarsEthan HawkeRiver PhoenixBobby FiteA boy obsessed with '50s sci-fi movies about aliens has a recurring dream about a blueprint of some kind, which he draws for his inventor friend. With the help of a third kid, they follow it and build themselves a spaceship. Now what?
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSigourney WeaverMichael BiehnCarrie HennDecades after surviving the Nostromo incident, Ellen Ripley is sent out to re-establish contact with a terraforming colony but finds herself battling the Alien Queen and her offspring.I loved all the Alien movies; yes even Resurrection.
- DirectorDavid CronenbergStarsJeff GoldblumGeena DavisJohn GetzA brilliant but eccentric scientist begins to transform into a giant man/fly hybrid after one of his experiments goes horribly wrong.I think this was one of the first rated R movies I ever saw and I really enjoyed it. Jeff Goldblum is an amazing actor.
- DirectorJohn McTiernanStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerCarl WeathersKevin Peter HallA team of commandos on a mission in a Central American jungle find themselves hunted by an extraterrestrial warrior.Arnold loves going Commando. Military, that is. This movie was great, except for all the potty mouthing. I guess that's what they do in the military, something about warding off fear.
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsPeter WellerNancy AllenDan O'HerlihyIn a dystopic and crime-ridden Detroit, a terminally wounded cop returns to the force as a powerful cyborg haunted by submerged memories.I don't remember liking this movie, but I was probably 8 the last time I saw it. I guess it's time to give it another watch so I can offer up a fair review.
- DirectorKatsuhiro ÔtomoStarsMitsuo IwataNozomu SasakiMami KoyamaA secret military project endangers Neo-Tokyo when it turns a biker gang member into a rampaging psychic psychopath who can only be stopped by a teenager, his gang of biker friends and a group of psychics.I remember this movie being awesome. Why haven't I watched it recently?
- DirectorJames CameronStarsEd HarrisMary Elizabeth MastrantonioMichael BiehnA civilian diving team is enlisted to search for a lost nuclear submarine and faces danger while encountering an alien aquatic species.Isn't this the movie with that thing? Yeah, I saw that one, when I was about 8. All I remember was that thing.
- DirectorShin'ya TsukamotoStarsTomorô TaguchiKei FujiwaraNobu KanaokaA businessman accidentally kills The Metal Fetishist, who gets his revenge by slowly turning the man into a grotesque hybrid of flesh and rusty metal.
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerSharon StoneMichael IronsideWhen a man goes in to have virtual vacation memories of the planet Mars implanted in his mind, an unexpected and harrowing series of events forces him to go to the planet for real - or is he?I remember liking this movie and not much else, just that I liked it. Arnold is hilarious! I am really looking forward to the new adaptation of the novel as well.
- DirectorMarc CaroJean-Pierre JeunetStarsMarie-Laure DougnacDominique PinonPascal BenezechPost-apocalyptic surrealist black comedy about the landlord of an apartment building who occasionally prepares a delicacy for his odd tenants.This is one of my favorite post-apocalyptic films of all time. I love Dominique Pinon in his portrayal of Louison. He became one of my favorite actors after seeing this movie. Directors Marc Caro and Jean-Pierre Jeunet and an unbeatable duo. I can easily recommend any of their films to anyone who enjoys cinematography and/or a good story.
- DirectorNicholas MeyerStarsWilliam ShatnerLeonard NimoyDeForest KelleyOn the eve of retirement, Kirk and McCoy are charged with assassinating the Klingon High Chancellor and imprisoned. The Enterprise crew must help them escape to thwart a conspiracy aimed at sabotaging the last best hope for peace.This was one of my favorite Star Trek movies. I usually don't like the political side of the Star Trek universe, but I thought it was handled nicely here. Also if you are as big a nerd as I am you will notice, pretty quickly that Rene Auberjonois (who later played Odo in DS9) is one of the characters in the movie. He is one of my favorite Star Trek presences, always filling up a scene with personality, when needed of course.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsArnold SchwarzeneggerLinda HamiltonEdward FurlongA cyborg, identical to the one who failed to kill Sarah Connor, must now protect her ten year old son John from an even more advanced and powerful cyborg.The only thing I remember about this movie is that Robert Patrick is awesome!
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsSam NeillLaura DernJeff GoldblumA pragmatic paleontologist touring an almost complete theme park on an island in Central America is tasked with protecting a couple of kids after a power failure causes the park's cloned dinosaurs to run loose.I'm pretty sure this movie is still amazing even though I haven't seen it since I was a teenager. "Come on then. Come on then. x12" It still makes me laugh every time I think about this movie. If you've seen it, you know what I'm talking about. XD
- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsKurt RussellJames SpaderJaye DavidsonAn interstellar teleportation device, found in Egypt, leads to a planet with humans resembling ancient Egyptians who worship the god Ra.Kurt Russell is so funny to me! I think this movie held up very well over time. The didn't overdo it on the special effects so they still look good now. I loved the villain in this movie! There is a lot of good source material in this movie, they should probably make a TV show (or five) based on it... ^_^
- DirectorMizuho NishikuboMamoru OshiiStarsAtsuko TanakaIemasa KayumiAkio ÔtsukaA cyborg policewoman and her partner hunt a mysterious and powerful hacker called the Puppet Master.This is one of the few anime I've seen and I really enjoyed it. I loved the visual style of this movie.
- DirectorTerry GilliamStarsBruce WillisMadeleine StoweBrad PittIn a future world devastated by disease, a convict is sent back in time to gather information about the man-made virus that wiped out most of the human population on the planet.This is one of my personal favorite Science Fiction movies of all time.
- DirectorRoland EmmerichStarsWill SmithBill PullmanJeff GoldblumThe aliens are coming and their goal is to invade and destroy Earth. Fighting superior technology, mankind's best weapon is the will to survive.The Randy Quaid and family story line in this movie was my favorite part. Or maybe it was Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum's bickering. Or maybe it was Brent Spiner playing a creepy nerd. Either way, I didn't really get into the White House and military side of the story. Actually that was the only reason I didn't really like the movie. Everything else was great.
- DirectorVincenzo NataliStarsNicole de BoerMaurice Dean WintDavid HewlettA group of strangers awaken to find themselves placed in a giant cube. Each one of them is gifted with a special skill and they must work together to escape an endless maze of deadly traps.Low budget films are a lot like 8-bit video games: with limited visual effects (eye-candy) you have to rely on good characters and a good story. This movie is a prime example of this being one of my favorite Science Fiction movies of its decade.
- DirectorPaul W.S. AndersonStarsLaurence FishburneSam NeillKathleen QuinlanA rescue crew is tasked with investigating the mysterious reappearance of a spaceship that had been lost for seven years.Creepy, creepy, creepy. Yes, that is my review. Also, Ghost Ship is the same movie. :P
- DirectorLuc BessonStarsBruce WillisMilla JovovichGary OldmanIn the colorful future, a cab driver unwittingly becomes the central figure in the search for a legendary cosmic weapon to keep Evil and Mr. Zorg at bay.You can usually tell how well a movie is written when people quote it all the time. This is a prime example of that phenomenon. I wouldn't mind if Bruce Willis did more Science Fiction movies, that's for sure.
- DirectorAndrew NiccolStarsEthan HawkeUma ThurmanJude LawA genetically inferior man assumes the identity of a superior one in order to pursue his lifelong dream of space travel.I think the best word to describe this move is serene. There was and overwhelming sense of calmness about this movie. I liked it. The three main characters are great together.
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsCasper Van DienDenise RichardsDina MeyerHumans, in a fascist militaristic future, wage war with giant alien bugs.Bugs and marines. That's all I remember.
- DirectorAlex ProyasStarsRufus SewellKiefer SutherlandJennifer ConnellyA man struggles with memories of his past, which include a wife he cannot remember and a nightmarish world no one else ever seems to wake up from.This movie reminds me a lot of the novel Terminal Man. The setting, mood, atmosphere, and the main character are all very reminiscent of the novel. That being said, I believe the two stories could have taken place in the same universe, which I find very intriguing. I like finding phantom siblings in the literary world and I believe these two works are just that. I love the Noir feeling of this movie and it has a really good story on top of that.
- DirectorDean ParisotStarsTim AllenSigourney WeaverAlan RickmanThe alumni cast of a space opera television series have to play their roles as the real thing when an alien race needs their help. However, they also have to defend both Earth and the alien race from a reptilian warlord.I love how this movie both pokes fun of and pays tribute to the Star Trek legacy. I think the cast and crew brilliantly handled the source material.
- DirectorLana WachowskiLilly WachowskiStarsKeanu ReevesLaurence FishburneCarrie-Anne MossWhen a beautiful stranger leads computer hacker Neo to a forbidding underworld, he discovers the shocking truth--the life he knows is the elaborate deception of an evil cyber-intelligence.Anderson in Wonderland. Wait, what?! One of my favorite Alice's Adventures in Wonderland adaptations. o_O
- DirectorRichard KellyStarsJake GyllenhaalJena MaloneMary McDonnellAfter narrowly escaping a bizarre accident, a troubled teenager is plagued by visions of a man in a large rabbit suit who manipulates him to commit a series of crimes.I loved the 80s vibe of this movie. The strangely minimalistic special effects almost made this film even more absorbing. I thought the casting was wonderful as well.
- DirectorSteven SpielbergStarsTom CruiseColin FarrellSamantha MortonJohn works with the PreCrime police which stop crimes before they take place, with the help of three 'PreCogs' who can foresee crimes. Events ensue when John finds himself framed for a future murder.I've only seen one scene in this movie and it seemed to have an interesting aesthetic. I guess I should check out the rest of the movie, huh?
- DirectorMichel GondryStarsJim CarreyKate WinsletTom WilkinsonWhen their relationship turns sour, a couple undergoes a medical procedure to have each other erased from their memories forever.Michel Gondry is a cinematic genius. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet are a joy to root for in this Science Fiction infused romantic comedy.
- DirectorShane CarruthStarsShane CarruthDavid SullivanCasey GoodenFour friends/fledgling entrepreneurs, knowing that there's something bigger and more innovative than the different error-checking devices they've built, wrestle over their new invention.
- DirectorJoss WhedonStarsNathan FillionGina TorresChiwetel EjioforThe crew of the ship Serenity try to evade an assassin sent to recapture telepath River.I loved the show, but I only really liked the movie. It seemed like it was trying too hard to be a movie sometimes. Otherwise, I think all the characters were really well conceived and complimented/contrasted each other very well.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsKeanu ReevesWinona RyderRobert Downey Jr.An undercover cop in a not-too-distant future becomes involved with a dangerous new drug and begins to lose his own identity as a result.
- DirectorAlfonso CuarónStarsJulianne MooreClive OwenChiwetel EjioforIn 2027, in a chaotic world in which women have somehow become infertile, a former activist agrees to help transport a miraculously pregnant woman to a sanctuary at sea.
- DirectorDarren AronofskyStarsHugh JackmanRachel WeiszSean Patrick ThomasAs a modern-day scientist, Tommy is struggling with mortality, desperately searching for the medical breakthrough that will save the life of his cancer-stricken wife, Izzi.The interwoven story and visuals are simply magnificent in this movie. The acting is beautiful and the director has yet another winner here.
- DirectorAndrew StantonStarsBen BurttElissa KnightJeff GarlinIn the distant future, a small waste-collecting robot inadvertently embarks on a space journey that will ultimately decide the fate of mankind.I think it is a fantastic movie!
- DirectorDuncan JonesStarsSam RockwellKevin SpaceyDominique McElligottAstronaut Sam Bell has a quintessentially personal encounter toward the end of his three-year stint on the Moon, where he, working alongside his computer, GERTY, sends back to Earth parcels of a resource that has helped diminish our planet's power problems.
- DirectorJ.J. AbramsStarsChris PineZachary QuintoSimon PeggThe brash James T. Kirk tries to live up to his father's legacy with Mr. Spock keeping him in check as a vengeful Romulan from the future creates black holes to destroy the Federation one planet at a time.I love that they recaptured the humor that made the original series so memorable. "Mr. Sulu, first you have to disengage the parking break." The special effects and lens flairs were a really well done too.
