Movie Review: 'Tesla' Gets Experimental
There are numerous references to the life and work of Nikola Tesla all over the pop culture landscape. Whether directors are portraying Tesla’s life caught between the twin towers of Edison and Westinghouse, The Current War, or comic book writers are having Tesla fight Superman, it’s fair to say that Tesla’s work captured many an imagination. Director Michael Almereyda is merely the latest in a long line who fancied telling Tesla’s tale.
Sean PatrickPublished 4 years ago in FuturismMy Review of "Vivarium"
Vivarium already looks weird in the trailers but that's what kind of attracted me to this movie. It looked totally strange and yet very intriguing and that's really how the movie plays. The movie plays around with concepts and makes you question what you watched by the end of the movie. There's a lot of ways to interpret this movie so here's my take.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in FuturismDocumentary Review: 'I Want to Believe'
Having previously watched Darcy Weir's Beyond The Spectrum, I had already been introduced to some aspects of the Ufology community that were previously unknown to me. Thus, many of the topics covered in J. Horton's documentary I Want to Believe were familiar. With Beyond The Spectrum having already piqued my curiosity in regards to Ufology and the possibility that we aren't alone in this universe, I Want to Believe elaborates on many of the topics discussed within Weir's docuseries. And while it has its share of points where audience interest might begin to fade, I Want to Believe manages to avoid hitting as many slow spells as Beyond The Spectrum.
Trevor WellsPublished 4 years ago in FuturismMy Review of "Ad Astra"
Ad Astra didn't seem that interesting in its trailer. It basically explained to us that there's an astronaut that's sent on a mission to find his long lost father. What I didn't realize is that they wanted to keep much of the details under wraps because there's so much more to this movie than just that. There's the journey of his self discovery. It's an interesting story but not exactly a movie for everyone.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in FuturismDocumentary Review: Darcy Weir's 'Beyond The Spectrum'
For ages, the existence of aliens has been a highly debated topic, within the scientific community and beyond. Personally, I'm a bit ambivalent about the possibility. While I'm sure there are plenty of things out there in the universe that we don't know about yet, the idea of aliens still rubs me as too far-fetched to be a reality. But despite my viewpoint, I decided to give director Darcy Weir's Beyond The Spectrum series a watch by checking out the four documentaries (all of which are currently available to watch on Tubi) that center on the topic of aliens. Let's see if Weir can make a believer out of me!
Trevor WellsPublished 4 years ago in FuturismMy Review of "Dune (1984)"
Dune has showed up on my Netflix suggestions so many times that I gave in and watched it. I was in for a heck of a show. It was confusing, mesmerizing, captivating, and it took me a little while to process what I just watched by the end of the movie. I have to remember that this movie had come out in 1984 so I can't really judge it to the levels of special effects we have today.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in FuturismSource Code - Netflix review
Explain film What is the multiverse? As a theory related to quantum mechanics, parallel universes, string theory, and the tunnel, she is so cluttered that if you spend decades to research, you will not necessarily understand it (laugh), If you only need to understand to watch movies, you can make a brief statement as follows, in every moment, every possibility in our choice will create a parallel world. Because we are living in 3-dimensional space and 1-dimensional non-reversible time, we only have a choice of infinite possibilities and create a unique reality, while in other possibilities there will be other "we" and have nothing to do with it.
A Filmmaker's Guide to the 60 Things You Should Know About "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)
In the Uptown Theatre, Washington D.C on the 2nd of April, 1968 - Stanley Kubrick premiered the epic space film, "2001:A Space Odyssey" (1968). It is clear that this film is one of the greatest films ever made with most people citing it as one of the greatest examples of the Greek/Shakespearean Tragedy in space. It is a brilliant film and a true cinematic experience to watch. Personally, I've seen it a few times and even after watching it a few times, it is still just as overwhelming as it has always been.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in FuturismA Filmmaker's Review: "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968)
For years, it has been considered as the epitome of Sci-Fi/Epic Drama and has won multiple accolades in the legacy of its release. At 52 years since it was first seen by a mass audience, there are many things in this era still that we can learn from "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968). I have watched this film twice over the past ten to fifteen years and I want to show you why.
Annie KapurPublished 4 years ago in FuturismMy Review of "The Climber aka L'ascension"
From the trailer I saw on Netflix L'ascension or The Climb seemed like a fun movie to watch. I needed something kind of mellow because I've been watching a lot of intense sci-fi movies. This movie was exactly what I needed.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in FuturismMy Review of "Psychokinesis"
I was perusing the Netflix library for some Sci-Fi movies and the title Psychokinesis showed up. The trailer looked pretty funny but it was all in Korean. Whatever. I thought I'd give it a try anyways and I'm actually really happy I gave it a chance.
Brian AnonymousPublished 4 years ago in FuturismMy Review of "Time Trap"
This whole weekend I've been binging on what Netflix has to offer in terms of science fiction movies. I'm actually surprised at the amount of films they had available. Especially since they were interesting concepts of movies.
