The Lawnmower Man isn’t the most popular sci-fi film ever made in the 90s. It’s certainly a weird one. Yet, it’s strangely relevant to 2022 and the wonders of modern technology. The Lawnmower Man is about Jobe …

The internet is all about the best ever or the worst ever, even normally. During awards season it’s even more pronounced. Even on MovieBabble. But not everything can be a terrifying low or a dizzying …

When reading about Cowboys & Aliens, you would think it was perhaps one of the most ridiculous movies made in 2011. Then again, watching it may make you think that, too. Yet, it’s one of …

Occupation: Rainfall comes to us from the mind of writer/director Luke Sparke and is the sequel to Sparke’s previous film, Occupation. Picking up two years after aliens have landed on Earth, a group of Aussie …

What Does Hollywood Have Against 2049? 2049 and three weeks after what is referred to as “The Event”, humanity faces extinction, except for the extravagantly named Augustine Lofthouse (George Clooney), who has remained at his …

As the uncertainty of 2020 continues, there is one thing that we can be certain of, and that’s that we have another Christopher Nolan hit on our hands. A film that has seemingly united the …

Have you ever tried holding your breath during underwater scenes in movies to see if you would have survived? Well, that’s what I did. After doing this challenge, I’ve come to realize that I would …

For as long as I can remember, I always wanted to go to space. To be outside our reach. To see the world from this outsider perspective. To feel the presence of our population and …

Galaxy Quest represents a relic from a by-gone era: one where spoofs and parodies were produced far more frequently. Gone are the days where we could see Charlie Sheen or Leslie Nielsen appearing in a …

Journey back to the seventies, to an era of cinema where moviemakers wanted to make sure you knew you were watching a movie by giving their productions titles like Superman: The Movie and Star Trek: …

I can’t believe it’s only been 10 years since Avatar (2009) came out. I remember the first time I saw it I was absolutely blown away by the special effects. The work that had gone into each …

Blade Runner (1982) sure had a bleak view of what November 2019 would look like. Then again, that’s what neo-noir science fiction tends to do. Thankfully, Ridley Scott’s dark version of the future is far from …

Horror movies wouldn’t be the same without horrifying monsters to chase the protagonists. Godzilla would be nothing without the giant radioactive lizard. What is King Kong without, well, King Kong? Throughout history, humans have created …

Over twenty years ago, Dark City, Alex Proyas’ follow-up to The Crow, dropped into theaters only to be quietly, ignominiously shuffled out. On its opening weekend, Dark City came in fourth, beaten by not only …

It seems like every day a random movie is celebrating a random anniversary. As nice as it is to be reminded of Jet Li’s The One, there is no need to acknowledge its 17-year anniversary. …

I’ve always described Moon as being a bit of a hidden gem. There’s a sweet simplicity to it, and as far as sci-fi movies go it’s relatively down to Earth (which somewhat contradicts the movie’s …

I haven’t been shy on the podcast about my excitement regarding this film. The Planet of the Apes franchise is one I admire greatly and when I discovered that the director of Rise of the Planet of the Apes …

I’ve always been a massive fan of the sci-fi genre. There are so many ways to tell wholly unique stories, whether they be on a massive scale like Inception or something that is the exact opposite, …

Excellent! It’s been 30 years since strange things were afoot at the Circle-K in San Dimas. Bill and Ted have reached a milestone anniversary and it’s time we gave them their due. No, this won’t …

Most science fiction fans are familiar with this famous scene: astronaut Dave Bowman propels himself into an emergency chamber to board his ship, Discovery One. The advanced, and conscious, 9000 computer Hal has killed every …

The science fiction genre is all over the place. On one hand, you can have massive, brainless epics like Independence Day, but on the other, there’s room for slow, introspective mind trips like Under the Skin or even 2018’s Annihilation. …

I had a bit of a moment this week when I saw that The Truman Show (1998) is turning 20. In your 40s, a song or a movie you thought was 10 years old turns …

Unfortunately, the first teaser for The Predator came out to mixed reviews, but the occasion does make for a good opportunity to look back at this franchise and see what to expect this fall in the newest …

Whether its Curious George, King Kong, or Caesar, Hollywood seems to have a fascination with apes. In 1968, Charlton Heston helped usher in the next stage of this craze with Planet of the Apes. Fifty …

It’s been a stagnant five to six months since the release of Denis Villeneuve‘s Blade Runner 2049. It’s quite evident that its impact has only reached a small esoteric union of film fans. It hurts …

After the resounding reviews of Annihilation, it’s was time to look back and review a sci-fi classic. Alien is often considered to be one of the great science fiction and horror films. But Aliens went out in a …
