Movie reviews from the perspective of a movie buff who just happens to be
a science fiction fan, science geek, software developer and musician as well.

	Where did the $320 million go? Did they spend it on real robots? Also, what genre(s) is this movie supposed to be? It's a corny jumble. READ MORE...		A fabulous piss-take on the conservative mindset, populism and the mass-media drenched modern world. Quite a sobering and SF tinged ending. READ MORE...		A pompous tedious bore with terrible pacing, pointlessly changed plots and characters and a fizzle of a climax. No revisit value. READ MORE...
	Bits of all the previous Matrix movies are blended together, watered down, stitched together and recycled. We learn nothing new and there is no revisit value. READ MORE...		It looks and sounds fabulous, but the character development is seriously imbalanced. I suspect the script was poisoned by executive interference and it could prevent this movie from becoming an SF cult classic. READ MORE...		Bond is humanised and loses his mystique. Moderately entertaining despite the stupid MacGuffin and insipid villian Rami Malek. No revisit value. READ MORE...
	Another jumbled mess with dreadful dialog, poor lighting and forgettable characters. About 10 minutes total of this movie are great. READ MORE...		If you go into this movie with the reduced expectations of just seeing a Sci-Fi romance with lots of special effects, then that's basically what you get. However, there is a susprising horror-tinged subplot that is not mentioned in any of the film's trailers. READ MORE...		Great Sci-Fi premise, nice pace and tension, but where is it supposed to take you? Is there a message we're supposed to take home? I felt like I'd been taken on a long serious ride, but arrived back home wondering what the point of the journey was. Prescience, aliens, linguistics, war, romance ... all blended and a bit directionless. READ MORE...
	What a jumbled stinking mess! What a disappointment!  This is what happens when a potentially great script is rewritten by a committee. Lord help the next one that's being made now. READ MORE...		This could have been one of the best movies ever made. All it needed was a script, a plot, some acting, some dialogue, some music and some editing. The fact that this is the biggest money making movie of all time makes me weep for the future of humanity. READ MORE...		Where did all the money go!? All they did was bascially photocopy every character and plot from the 1977 original, flip a few genders, adjust some clothing and regurgitate it as a new movie. Worst of all, the pacing was terrible. There were so many tediously DULL parts of this movie. READ MORE...
	Almost a fabulous movie ... a good try. It's like someone had a script for an intelligent Matrix-like movie set in dreamland, but decided it needed a lot more action and romance to keep the dumb audience entertained. READ MORE...		Another good try. Talk talk talk CRASH! Talk talk talk BOOM! Children and white rabbits to the lifeboats please! READ MORE...		It's an impressive big-budget SF blockbuster, but it has diverged so far from the spirit of the original Star Trek and the latter TV series that it's barely recognisable. Turning all the mixing panel knobs up to 11 doesn't make a good movie. READ MORE...
	It's pretty good when it sticks to the classic terminator plotline and SF concepts, but it wanders off into long side plots that just waste time. READ MORE...		Really good looking cornball fun in the old classic style of Irwin Allen disaster movies. But it's far too long. READ MORE...		An apocalyptic stinker. I somehow forced myself to sit through this rambling humourless mess in the hope that something surprising, funny or interesting might happpen. The result is ... I want those hours of my life refunded so I can do something useful with them, like trim my toenails. READ MORE...
	Silly enough entertainment, but like all Tarantino movies: self-indulgent, rather silly and far too long. READ MORE...		I only smiled once in the whole movie, when Bill Nighy appeared as Slartibartfast. Everything was forced and strained and all the clever intellectual jokes had been removed. I went home and listened to the original six radio shows and I laughed my arse off. READ MORE...		Dreary, sombre, lifeless and boring. All of the intellect and magic of the original story has been sucked dry out of this remake. READ MORE...
	What is this ... a heavy-handed allegory of racism, a science fiction movie or a shoot-em-up action movie? Someone should have decided before they started filming. It's a great SF premise, but it's jumbled and overlong. READ MORE...		The arrival of the Martians is great, but after that it degenerates into a tedious road-trip full of predictable characters and special effects. Strangely, although it's the end of the world, you don't see a single US military casualty. READ MORE...		Rain, snow, mud and a blue filter over everything. This boring dirge has no relation to the classic entertaining legend of King Arthur. One of the worst movies I've seen this century. READ MORE...
	Planet Terror is a grotesque roller-coaster ride of horror that follows the classic zombie flick traditions. Death Proof is a tedious, pointless, dumb, poorly acted waste of celluloid. READ MORE...
