Equally brainy and terrifying, Annihilation has all the makings of a modern science fiction classic.IMDB Rating: 7.8, Rotten Tomatoes:
87%Rogue One: A Star Wars storyAs the first Star Wars anthology film, Rogue One had some pretty lofty expectations to live up to
Rather than try to replicate the formula that made The Force Awakens such a smashing success, director Gareth Edwards delivered a proper war
film, one that had more in common with Saving Private Ryan than The Empire Strikes Back
Remember in A New Hope when the Rebellion got its hands on the Death Star plans that would lead to victory at the end of that film Rogue One
is about the group that stole those plans
TomorrowA terrific science fiction war film starring Tom Cruise, Edge of Tomorrow plays like a cross between Halo and Groundhog Day, where
the Cruiser is thrown directly into an alien war only to die almost immediately and then forced to repeat the day over and over, becoming a
little more battle-hardened each time
Joining him is Emily Blunt, playing a tough-as-nails soldier who helps Cruise figure out a way to close this never-ending time loop and end
the war for good
Backed by a terrific script and some fine chemistry between Cruise and Blunt, Edge of Tomorrow is a fantastic special effect extravaganza
that should please both sci-fi and action fans.IMDB Rating: 7.9, Rotten Tomatoes: 91%District 9The film that put both director Neill
Blomkamp (Elysium) and star Sharlto Copley (Powers) on the international stage, District 9 is an ingenious science fiction Apartheid
allegory that puts marooned aliens in South African concentration camps
An anti-alien pencil pusher (Copley) has his whole world turned upside down when he is sprayed with some kind of liquid that is slowly
turning him into an alien, and now he has to team up with one of the "prawns" he so despises if he has any hope of turning back to normal
Hilarious, action-packed and filled with flinch-worthy body horror moments, District 9 is an instant classic that rightfully earned a best
picture nomination at the Oscars.IMDB Rating: 8.0, Rotten Tomatoes: 90%Midnight SpecialThe kind of smart science fiction film that Steven
Spielberg used to make in his 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' heyday, Midnight Special continually offers a sense of wonder as its
story unfolds
from both the US government and a cult after it's discovered that the boy has otherworldly powers
Along for the ride are Alton's mother Sarah (Kirsten Dunst) and Roy's close friend Lucas (Joel Edgerton)
With surprises around every corner, you never really know where Midnight Special is going, though what you can expect are some truly
terrific performances and a mind-blowing finale
they've occurred More importantly, what would you do if you were due to be sentenced over a murder you haven't committed yet That is the
premise of Steven Spielberg's spectacular sci-fi film, Minority Report
Loosely based on the Philip K
Dick story of the same name, the film sees Tom Cruise play the head of a futuristic 'Precrime' Division tasked with stopping murderers from
carrying out their violent actions
They can do this thanks to the psychic abilities of three siblings known as 'Precogs'
But what happens when this trio of soothsayers predicts a murder carried about by Cruise himself Spoiler alert, he runs! A visually stunning
film that's filled with ingenious and forward-thinking technological ideas that will likely become a reality in years to come, Minority
struggled to stay relevant, The Terminator remains as interesting and unique as it was 33 years ago
An undisputed classic of intense, unrelenting action, The Terminator kickstarted the career of uber-director James Cameron, who would go on
to direct such classic blockbusters as Aliens, Titanic, Avatar and, of course, Terminator 2L Judgment Day
return to the screen for the Star Wars franchise, The Force Awakens sees the characters we love from the original trilogy, like Han Solo,
Chewbacca and Leia, set off another adventure with a new generation of wonderful characters
Ironically, for a series set among the stars, Director J.J
real locations and sets, as well as puppets and actors in costume, to recreate the spirit of Episodes IV through VI
Featuring thrilling action, incredible special effects and terrific performances, The Force Awakens is the best Star Wars film in over 30
film, Children of Men, but what an incredible follow-up! With Gravity, he sure did stick the landing (ahem) and hit this one right out of
orbit (I'll let myself out)
This nail-bitingly intense film, in which Sandra Bullock's character must use her wits to survive in space after a catastrophic shuttle
done." A perfect marriage of drama and special effects, Gravity is an absolute classic.IMDB Rating: 7.8, Rotten Tomatoes:
