Knowing review
| September 25, 2010 | Posted by Martin under International SF |
There is a certain category of movies that hit the cinemas without me knowing about its existence. Deja Vu (2006) was one of those, that when I got to see it, thought was actually pretty good. Knowing is another one. It is about an astronomy teacher who does not believe in faith, but stumbles over information about future events when his son brings home a paper, written in 1950. Suddenly he finds himself in the middle predestined events, trying to find out what is going to happen, if he can stop it and questioning his attitude towards destiny itself. more!
Soylent Green review
| August 8, 2010 | Posted by Martin under International SF |
Some films have such spectacular endings that there is a great chance you already know how the movie ends before you’ve seen it. One of the most famous among science fiction movies, is the when Luke Skywalker gets knowledge about who’s behind Darth Vader’s mask in Star Wars – Return of the Jedi (1983), but another one that you may know about, is the ending in Soylent Green. If you don’t, I wont spoil anything for you with this review, but at least you should know what my basis for it is, that I knew the ending before I saw the movie. more!
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!
