SCI-FI FLIX

11/07/2010 (TELEVISION)

I caught this on TV the other night and decided to watch it. I saw this years back and I remembered that it was good.

It is quite interesting and from what I know I think it is also a novel. If this is a novel then I have no doubt the book was better and after watching the film, I can tell that it's got to be a great read.

An alright choice for the "I have nothing better to do" occasions.

A for Action! I just love the way "The Incredible Hulk" brings havoc with demolishing destructive catastrophe that always widens my freakin' eyeballs out my socket while I try to hold my jaw from hitting the ground! I know it's not a good idea to get him angry, ...but we love it when he's mad, may he never find the cure!

I hope for another "Hulk" flick cause that was pure awesome. I know this is different from the first "live action" one that came out before this one did and if I'm right, this version is leaning more towards the TV series whereas the first that had "Eric Bana" as the "Hulk" was based on the "comics". A lot of people thought this was the sequel to the "Hulk" that had "Eric Bana" as the "Hulk", but it's not. This is a different movie altogether.

I am looking forward to seeing the "Hulk" take on the "Avengers" and waste them! I don't know how much they are going to change in the story but if you've seen the original rumble between "The Hulk" and "The Avengers" then you know that "Hulk" ripped them all up! "HULK SMASH!!"

HULK SMASH! I'm a "Hulk' fan so of course I got a kick out of this flick.

"Hulk" beats everyone! How do you beat the "Hulk?" You don't. Because you can't.

This was interesting, The"Hulk" meets very worthy opponents that fills this flick with destructive action. "Am I sick for enjoying the 'Hulk' pounding someone's head into the ground?"

"Planet Hulk" is a plus for me. I liked the story, I liked the action and I was pretty happy with the ending. Hmmm, I wonder if "Hulk" will have kids?

This is the third Predator movie and I enjoyed it. I still think part 1 was better with "Arnie" and "Predator 2" with "Glover" was not too bad but this "Predators" was no disappointment either, "Adrien Brody?" ...well done!

I wouldn't of minded if it was a little longer, it felt short for me but otherwise a fairly average sci-fi. I wasn't really affected with suspense and I guess that's just the result of the predictable situations in this story. There was just no surprises for me but anyhow i liked it none-the-less.

The third Predator movie was in my opinion a satisfactory conclusion and there may be a fourth installment judging by the way it finished, or not.

24/10/2010 (AVI FILE)

An "Infection Holocaust" that kept me interested as I began to wonder the next step for this terrible outbreak and outcome.

It definitely hit me on a mental level which I like... movies that do that take me for a ride and I was feeling the darkness and discomfort of a bad, nasty situation that kept me second guessing things.

I got a kick out of this terror flick and it is a plus for horror junkies in my opinion.

30/10/2010 (AVI FILE)

Now this is what I'm talking about, "The Infected" that sprint! Yeah that's right, none of that "arms stretched out" walking like a turtle stuff. You wanna live you better be fast cause these freaks sprint for gold!

A fantastic follow up from the first part with again a believable reason for a "Re-infection" to continuate the "Infection" holocaust. Still gritty, not pretty in a terror filled city.

A decent horror choice that extracts fear making this film a memorable and unforgettable scare flick of its kind. Terribly terrific.

15/11/2010 (ONLINE)

It's been a "Resident Evil" week for me! I just finished watching the entire saga beginning with this one. I must admit that back in the day I played the games and didn't like this movie because it was hardly like the game. This time round I decided to watch it not as an adaptation of the game, but just simply as a movie... and I enjoyed it more I must say.

It does take a wee bit to kick off but when it did and things started to unfold the interest was indeed kindled, although predictable. It's pretty awesome sci-fi rather than a horror and the action is not too bad either, actually quite entertaining.

Zombie hounds? That was pretty cool, I'd like to see some Zombie Lions, Tigers and Gorillas aye, try running from that! Anyway, it was a decent watch for me but I still say the game is more fun!!

17/11/2010 (DVD)

Here we go again and this time, let's take it to the streets! A pretty good sequel with more action and mayhem than the first. The infection from the first flick has now spread to the city and now we have a nice "Zombie Apocalypse" in our hands.

Again I'd like to say that it is more "sci-fi" than horror but it is still a good enough watch for me and my liking and I enjoyed it. "Milla Jovovich" rocks it up and we have a pretty cool hybrid-like hero who swings blades, shoots the guns and rides a motor cycle while doing it.

I like this flick more now as a movie rather than an adaptation of the R.E. games and seeing it right after the first R.E. flick is quite a good watch. Now it's time for "R.E: Extinction", let's go!

23/11/2010 (AVI FILE)

Again not so scary since it's mostly day time and it still seems like a "Sci-fi" flick to me. Anyhow, I still enjoyed this movie and it is a lot better than the previous two that was released earlier. At least for me this movie collection has gotten better so far unlike the many trilogies and sagas that went backwards with disappointment.

An awesome dose of action and a kick-butt chick with super sonic powers! Zombie birds? that's a good one but I'm still waiting for my Zombie lions and guerrillas! A pretty decent follow up from "R.E: Apocalypse" and a nice conclusion that lets us know there's more!

Again I watched it as a movie on it's own rather than an adaptation of the game and it was yet another treat for my spare time. Now, bring on Part 4!!

25/11/2010 (CINEMAS/3D)

This is the latest R.E. flick and it's in eye popping 3D! I personally don't have any issues with 3D flicks but only those cheap as ones where you ask at the end of the film, "where was the 3D?" with disappointment. The 3D on this was awesome and I loved the blood spattering on my glasses as bullets flew towards me!

I do say that "R.E: Extiction" was a little better in the story telling department but otherwise this episode is seriously butt kicking and I still say that it is more Sci-fi than horror once again.

Finally there is a character from the game and by the way it ended there may be more episodes. From what I recognized it seems that they'll be a little more like the games next time. By the way, did anyone notice the music? It was the same tune for "Kick-Ass" when "Big-Daddy" burnt down the warehouse.

13/11/2010 (DVD)

I loved the way this movie looks and I was amazed with the fighting sequences. I never saw the anime that this was adapted from but I might check it out now because it was difficult to understand and weirdly strange, perhaps the anime may help me understand it a little better.

My interest was slow but gradual, slow though... very slow. I was about to sleep but then it starts taking off, however I was still lost and didn't quite get what was happening, but it looked amazing and this could do well in 3D.

I think checking out the anime first before viewing this may enhance your experience because it is quite a hard one to follow, but the fights are cool though.

A very strange but interesting watch. The performances are outstanding by both adults and children and what a weirdly but fantastic world. It was like a silver-screen flick with updated visual effects which made this film feel unusual and different. Wow.

The setting is art, I mean the ideas and the artistry compliments the story giving it depth and darkness. What had me drawn was the background, it was very darkly, futuristic for its time and Gothic yet the people were from the 1950's so it seemed, very cool indeed. It's probably not everyone's cup of tea but it's definitely the type of tea that has an unusual blend that one learns to enjoy.

The special effects were not overly done but it just had the right amount for taste and the clones just look so real, like they were real individuals rather than camera tricks, just so cool. It's definitely a strange one in my opinion but no doubt a watchable feature. I did notice that "Hell Boy" speaks in tongues? Did not know that.

03/01/2011 (TELEVISION)

A very cool film! I saw this when I was younger and couldn't fully understand it, but seeing it now is like wow, that was an awesome movie. It's really complicated and sophisticated in ideas but the way it was simplified so that the average mind could grasp was well told indeed, I really get it now.

A nice blend of suspense and a perfect choice for a sci-fi hit. The ideas for what it could look like in 2040 or something just looked believable and made sense. There was just so many cool things in this flick and I enjoyed sitting through this one.

When the twists began, the movie had my undivided attention and I wanted to see why and how these things were occurring, questions began to surface as I peered on to find out. An enjoyable sci-fi suspense thriller flick and a good sit for those boring nights.

28/05/2011 (DVD)

A good night time flick. It's not boring but I did think it would be more entertaining. Anyhow it did turn out to have an interesting conclusion which you can work out before it happens.

A bizarre, deviant liking of alien/mutant sexual nature puzzled me, shouldn't I be disgusted? I guess I wanted to see results like a supernatural baby, who knows? Maybe I just liked it.

A watchable sci-fi that didn't bore me.

27/07/2011 (DVD)

Bewildered at first! The bewildered weirdness kicks but and for was very puzzling. Sometimes I felt like "what the heck is going on?" And then I would settle down to see the strange results produced from the unexplainable theories that in the end all made sense!

Very "Twilight Zone"-ish and according to what I know, the original story "Button, Button!" was written by "Richard Matherson" who wrote "I Am Legend" and several "Twilight Zone" episodes which explains the psychological wrenching.

A well done film adaptation for a short-story! Thinking that this team was able to produce a full length movie out of a short-story article from a "Playboy" magazine from 1970... Impressive.

01/08/2011 (DVD)

THE ACTION IS CRAZY! I must admit though I had seen this once before and initially would of gave it a lessor score because I was so confused and lost. The second watch however was so much better because now I just had to fill in the gaps which sealed a less-frustrating experience in my sitting.

I decided to be 10 years old and not go to serial-land for this trip so I could see this the way I wished when I was a kid. I remember conversing with family and friends about Transformers and how it would be cool to see it in live action. Well this. Was. Crazy.

I was absolutely entertained, well maybe not the first time round but adjusting my mentality the second time round definitely transformed my opinion. An A-grade action phenomonon.
