Elysium
Good 17 Points 2013

Matt Damon is the new Million Dollar Man – techno-augmented savior of the downtrodden earthbound people as the oppressive rich benefit from technology in the skies above. Is this a socialist propaganda film or a sci fi movie? Perhaps both. In any case, the result entertains in big-action-sequen…

Ender's Game
Good 83 Points 2013

Nice try, but Ender’s Game is barely a winner. Perhaps Orson Scott Card was right in saying his lauded SciFi novel is unfilmable.

BrianSez and other fans of Card’s novel and its sequels may like it better than a newbie like me. I ha…

Enemy Mine
Perfect 2 Points 1985

An incredible film, Lou Gossett Jr as the alien is great, Dennis Quaid plays off him very well
a great example of give and take by two highly under rated actors.
A must watch for young actors looking for scene study

Equilibrium
Great 48 Points 2002

Reminiscent of 1984 and Blade Runner, but with the modern action effects of the Matrix. Equilibrium delivers a futuristic totalitarian society riddled with internal struggles of the coolest killer around: Christian Bale. Not too cheesy despite a couple of close calls (daily doses of “Prozium…

Very Good 9 Points 1971

Considering the ending of Beneath the Planet of the Apes was kind of…well…let me just put it this way: it wasn’t exactly a cliff hanger. In fact, it left little to no room for a sequel at all. However, when screenwriter Paul Dehn recieved a message from producer Arthur P. Jacobs saying "Apes …

Great 80 Points 2004

Few love stories are so exquisitely tortured as the one in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind. Jim Carrey’s sad sack wants to forget his quirky lover, played winningly by Kate Winslet. Turns out there is a quack who offers a mind-wash. Perfect!

Except it’s not.

However it does set u…

Europa Report
Great 83 Points 2013

Whoa, we’ve got ourselves a great new SciFi gem, an instaclassic along the lines of Gravity. It’s imperfect sure, but Europa Report’s mashup of that new benchmark’s workaday realism, Prometheus’s something’s-out-there sensationalism an…

Ex Machina
Really Great 83 Points 2015

Ex Machina deserves the fulsome praise it has received from professional and amateur critics alike. Intellectually intriguing and erotically provocative, it unsheathes surprises and turnabouts to the very end. However, it does have a glaring flaw, one that deserves attention before further exam…

Extinction
OK 17 Points 2018

Michael Pena and crew grind out a made for Netflix Sci Fi thriller with a twist. It mostly comes across as any war flick except in the final 3rd of the movie when it reveals a decent plot twist that finally makes the movie interesting.
