Liam wakes from a car crash with no memory of who he is. As he makes his way into town to look for help, he finds only dead bodies, all with strange pale eyes. Liam’s first assessment is that a virus is present in the air, but he soon discovers the horrible truth: anyone who comes within a 50-foot radius of him dies instantly.

A very well-made sci-fi drama keeps the tension until the very end, and then, when the mystery has to be unfolded and many other movies fail, this one delivers an…

An ambitious young executive is sent to retrieve his company’s CEO from an idyllic but mysterious “wellness center” at a remote location in the Swiss Alps but soon suspects that the spa’s miraculous treatments are not what they seem.

Better than expected. Cinematography and camera work are amazing, acting is great and the story... While entertaining enough, it could have been more developed.

Light years from Earth, 26 years after being abducted, Peter Quill finds himself the prime target of a manhunt after discovering an orb wanted by Ronan the Accuser.

If I’m about to watch a mainstream sci-fi movie, I wish it to be like this one. Funny, good-looking, and not too many clichés.

80’s pop icon Gilles Gabriel is about to make a comeback in the French music scene, until he accidentally hits Ranu, a slightly nutty accountant, when out driving one day. Both are horrified to realise that Gilles died in the crash, and that his spirit now lives in Ranu’s head! The kooky accountant’s life soon becomes chaos!

Modern cinema where the Frenchmen exceeded the bounds of their typical movies. It could be said that the main actor did most of the work, but I always like to…

A seductive alien prowls the streets of Glasgow in search of prey: unsuspecting men who fall under her spell.

The more I think of it, the better it is. The director chose a plain domestic style that tests your patience, but then absolutely pays off. The movie is originally…

Based on the classic novel by Orson Scott Card, Ender’s Game is the story of the Earth’s most gifted children training to defend their homeplanet in the space wars of the future.

One of these movies, accidentally seen on TV. It’s clever, emotional, well-acted (especially the kid), and has an amazing melancholic animation scene.

In an alternate universe where twinned worlds have opposite gravities, a young man battles interplanetary prejudice and the laws of physics in his quest to reunite with the long-lost girl of his dreams in this visually stunning romantic adventure that poses the question: what if love was stronger than gravity?

A romance in an upside down world. I enjoyed cinematography and idea in this one. If only this movie would be a little more polished, I’d have given it the…

I’ve seen people saying how The Matrix is better, but I have to say yes and no. It is better for action. I noticed this movie tried to be Matrix…
