Predestination is a 97 minutes sci-fi thriller with a twist that will discuss you. But just look at it scientifically and it will be better =D
Inevitability and destiny are at the root of this mind-twisting adaptation of Robert Heinlein’s. A complicated story, often boggling and frequently challenging, sci-fi drama dealing with the self, identity, gender and, of course, the paradox of time travel. It's a lot to fit in to one unique movie but Heinlein did it and it's very well constructed.
Predestination takes temporal paradoxes to an entirely new level. I don't want to reveal the gold of the movie but what I can say is that it gave me a little bit of a bad disposition, but very worth it. Still, it’s the kind of movie that will get audiences talking, trying to find the “beginning” of the story and piecing together—or tearing apart—the logic of it.
The final 15 minutes, sadly, feel a bit rushed. And the final reveals come at a frantic pace that clashes with the earlier relatively slower and meticulous pace.
For me it's a 8/10. I would recommend you to see it.
Lucy is a sci-fi thriller of 89 minutes that fantasises about unlocking 100 percent of the brain's potential and expects viewers to be using just 2 or 3 percent of their own grey matter =)
The idea is some what interesting but the making is just wrong, it should be different in a lot of different aspects and leaves us (viewers) with a bunch of questions about in one scene she can do this but on the other she can't?!!?
Besson's script offers neither the well-drawn character dynamics nor the clear motivations of a decent comic book origin story.
Helpfully, Besson mixed Lucy's story and an academic lecture in Paris where a researcher has been hypothesising about the very thing that is happening to her, making remarkably specific predictions about what might happen if humans were able to use more than the 10 percent we currently use (a myth) of the magnificent supercomputers in our heads. His ideas, like some of the film's other early scenes, are illustrated with cutaways to nature footage suggesting the ways in which all of Earth's creatures are interconnected, governed by the same laws. Think Besson doing The Tree of Life =D
I would go in a different path and reach the same enlightenment than Besson. But I would say it's a 6/10 just a bit above average because of the actors and great basic idea.
Interstellar is a 169 minutes Sci-Fi movie which I went to see at the cinema because it was promising =) Most great action movies I love to go and see them at the cinema, in my opinion they are the best movies you can see there because they will just make you stay alert (and not sleep through, because paying money to sleep through something is not a good choice) and the emotions are amplified.
In Resume: Cooper belongs to a lost generation; a former engineer and test pilot, he expected to become an astronaut, but dire economic conditions forced the closure of NASA and the abandonment of the space program. His precocious 10-year-old daughter shares her father's long-ago enthusiasm.
The path to the new planet is through a wormhole near Saturn. The movie has plenty of technical dialogue and physical demonstrations devoted to how the astronauts will slip through this envelope in space and emerge in a different galaxy near another planet that might support life as we know it.
Christopher Nolan aims for the stars in this brainy and gargantuan sci-fi epic story where the humankind will one day need to migrate from Earth to some other planet we can call home. This gargantuan enterprise brushes up against science facts, or at least intelligent speculation, as much as it can in an effort to make the idea of leaving and returning to our solar system as dramatically plausible as possible.
I love the message that circulates throughout the movie that however dark it seems to be or become and even if the light is slowly dying in one place, a reasonable light through a window might appear and be found as long as we try and try. There's no rage here, just a healthy belief in mid-20th century-style Yankee gumption and a can-do attitude.
I'm not a fan of Anne Hathaway but of course Matthew McConaughey had a great performance he is without a doubt a great actor. And in this movie he has again a star performance.
I loved the movie and recommend it to everyone, I dare to say it was one of the best from this year and I give it a 10/10. These types of movies go to my pile to re-watch and re-watch =D
Edge of Tomorrow has all that I love in a movie: a bucket full of Action and a load of Sci-fi in the mix. Love time travelling related movies and theories.
Edge of Tomorrow plays out a familiar alien invasion apocalypse drama in a way that, through repetition, allows humanity to learn from its mistakes.
It's a 113 minute movie that was based on a well-regarded novel by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, the clever script by Christopher McQuarrie, Jez and John-Henry Butterworth not only plays with time and the way technology could be used to upgrade human capabilities, but takes a relatively playful attitude toward the familiar battle tropes.
I do not know if any of you guys saw the movie: Groundhog Day, I loved that movie. Edge of Tomorrow is like Groundhog Day but with Aliens and Pain =D
I give this movie a 10/10 but boyfriend would say it's a 8/10 so opinions my vary weather you like the combo (Action + Sci-fy) or not.
Haven is based on Stephen King's: The Colorado Kid Drama Mystery and turn it into a Science Fiction story. While there are similarities to the book and other King works are referenced, the show is surprisingly original.
Audrey Parker is an FBI agent, who gets a tip that one of her fugitives has been spotted in the small town of Haven Maine. She is a terrific agent, because she knows nothing of who she is or where she came from, but puts everything into her work and it has become her whole life. Once she gets to Haven, she realises that something about this town isn't quite right, but she has no idea what she's in store for.
A lot of Syfy's original shows are on there way out, but Haven is more grounded and has quickly build up a mass of followers, me one of them =D It is already on it's fifth season.
Haven is amazing, it's just one of these addictive shows that draws you in right from the very first episode. Every episode is better than the one before it and it's just one of those shows you never want to stop watching. I would classify it on a scale 1-10 being a 9.7
It is one of the best shows I have seen and I really can't recommend it enough!!
Extant is a futuristic Sci-fi/Thriller about a astronaut which after being in space for about a year, comes home and now is trying to reconnect with her family. She experienced a set of events at space that ultimately change the course of human history.
It has a duration of 45 minutes but it involves you so much that it seems less. It's a very vague series and has a lot that it can work with.
My boyfriend said that it started good and now it's slowing down. My opinion is a bit different because I thing it started captivating us with the alien part and branched out to be a totally different thing. I'm very curious to see more and if it is going to grow in a good direction or not. Most of the series that have a lot of different ways to vary, chose the wrong path... in my opinion.
It's great to have this kind of series out in the Summer because most of the series are "paused" and we have space to see one more =D
I recommend this series to everyone... I already recommended it to some of my close friends =D And they are loving it. I would give it a 9/10.
I love me some robots, always!!!
