I am a sucker for Science Fiction.  Sam Rockwell looks like he’s giving the best performance of his career in Moon, directed by Duncan Jones.

Synopsis:

Moon follows Sam Bell, an astronaut assigned by Lunar Industries to a three-year mission mining Helium 3 on the moon, the earth’s new energy source. As his contract comes to an end and Sam’s health starts to deteriorate, painful headaches, hallucinations and a lack of focus lead to an almost fatal accident. While recuperating, Sam meets a younger, angrier version of himself, who claims to be there to fulfill the same three- year contract Sam started all those years ago

Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman vs Sci Fi Mutants!

Category : News, Random Videos

Check out the first 5 minutes of Mutant Chronicles brought to us by Hulu.

Synopsis:

In the year 2707, war rages between earth’s four giant corporations as they battle over the planet’s dwindling resources. In an era marked by warfare and social regression, the earth is on the verge of ruin, destruction is everywhere; battles explode on every ravaged continent. Amidst heavy combat, an errant shell shatters an ancient buried seal releasing a horrific mutant army from its eternal prison deep within the earth. As the mutant scourge threatens human extinction, a single squad of soldiers descends into the earth to fulfill the ages-old prophesy of the Mutant Chronicles and save mankind.

Loosely based on the RPG by the same name, Mutant Chronicles is directed by Simon Hunter and written by Philip Eisner with an ensemble cast including Thomas Jane, Ron Perlman, Devon Aoki, Sean Pertwee, Benno Fürmann, Anna Walton, Tom Wu, Steve Toussaint, Luis Echegaray, and John Malkovich.

Movie Trailer: Pandorum

Category : Trailers

I’m told this is a cross between Event Horizon and I Am Legend.  Not sure if that’s a good thing or not.  But, I’m a sucker for “Horror In Space” So, I’m looking forward to checking this out.

Pandorum opens on September 4 and is directed by Christian Alvert (whose previous effort Antikörper (Antibodies) has been on my list to check out.)

Plot Synopsis:

From the creators of the Resident Evil film franchise comes Pandorum, a terrifying thriller in which two crew members wake up on an abandoned spacecraft with no idea who they are, how long they’ve been asleep, or what their mission is. The two soon discover they’re actually not alone — and the reality of their situation is more horrifying than they could have imagined.

Images Surface of Guillermo Del Toro Produced, “Splice”

Category : News

splice-1

Guillermo del Toro is the man.  Recently I found out he’s producing a really interesting sounding Science Fiction film called Splice .  Kind of an Alien meets Frankenstein type story, but these images turned my head in a huge way.

Directed by Vincenzo Natali (Cube) and starring Adrien Brody and Sarah Polley, Splice is the story of two rogue scientists who decide to take genetic splicing to the next level.  Basically, all hell then breaks loose.

Alien Raiders

Rating: ★★★½☆ 

Directed By: Ben Rock

Starring: Carlos BernardMathew St. Patrick

Plot Synopsis:

It’s the end of yet another night at Hastings Supermarket, an idyllic family grocery store in Buck Lake, Arizona. But the normal monotony of rounding up shopping carts and settling out the cash drawers is broken at 11:07pm, just before closing when a group of masked and armed-to-the-teeth militants invades the store, immediately killing several of the employees and shoppers and holding the rest hostage.

Though the hostage-takers at first appear to be robbers or terrorists, they reveal themselves to be a cadre of rogue scientists that has discovered and tracked an alien infestation to this store on this night, and they are determined to find out which of the survivors are extraterrestrials and end the invasion at any cost. (Trailer Addict)

Review:

So, the award for the lamest title of a good movie goes to … Alien Raiders.  I mean, seriously, this is where studio intervention is a bad thing.  Originally titled Supermarket (I know, not much of a better title), Alien Raiders is a movie that is way better than the title suggests.  When I first heard of this movie, I was thinking it would be a low-grade Sci Fi Channel original crap-fest.  But, then I started hearing some good things and decided to check it out.  Alien Raiders has no right to be as good as it is.  It’s a blast.
