Inception review
| July 23, 2010 | Posted by Martin under International SF |
Every now and then you see a movie that just seems to be THE movie of that genre and theme. There ain’t much of an idea to make another movie like it as it will only feel like a copy. For me, the best example of this was The Matrix from 1999, but yesterday I saw the Swedish sneak premiere of Inception and was totally blown away in the same way as I was when I saw The Matrix. The story is hard to describe and I would almost suggest to stop reading this and see the movie instead, but mainly it is about people with the ability to tap in and participate in the dreams of others. more!
Hardwired review
| July 22, 2010 | Posted by Martin under International SF |
At cyberpunkreview.com I stumbled over this movie called Hardwired (2009). The term is hacker slang for inserting hard data directly into a program and that is kind of what the movie is centred around. Luke Gibson, an ex-soldier and soon to be father, living in a dystopic future, becomes brain damaged in a car accident, where he also loses his wife. He has no health insurance, but the Hope Corporation gives him a new chance by giving him a brain implant for free. Shortly after waking up he starts having commercial, personalized hallucinations and are subjected to great amounts of pain. A rebel group, which know about the Hope Corporations secret plans, manage to hack his implant and together they set out to bring down the corporation. more!
