Doom Review

Doom Review

You have to feel sorry for editor Derek Brechin who was probably given nothing but similar looking footage of Dwayne Johnson to sort out and make sense of.

The Box Review

The Box Review

The trailers completely avoid the fantastical elements of the plot, pieces that pull the viewer into space, the metaphysical, Mars, heaven, hell, and a library where portals are suddenly available.

Event Horizon Review

Event Horizon Review

Seeing Laurence Fishburne blast a possessed Sam Neil over the head with a plastic tube, and apparently doing significant damage in the process, is unintentionally comical.

Pandorum Review

Pandorum Review

If you can imagine Alien without the twisted mind of H.R. Geiger, you have the visual design of Pandorum.

Gamer Review

Gamer Review

District 9 Review

Human behavior in District 9 is deplorable.

Star Trek (2009) Review

Star Trek (2009) Review

Star Trek does not have a subtitle, settling on a basic, to-the-point naming scheme for this franchise prequel. However, one specific potential subtitle pops-up numerous times during this otherwise fantastic sci-fi piece: Star Trek: Revenge of the Lens Flares.
No, it is not the remaining Romulan’s that cause the biggest threat to the crew of the [...]
