Alien: Covenant (2017)
A very solid Alien film, initially misunderstood and underrated as usual.
Pretty great unless you want something out of it that isn't there. One of the few interesting movies in a long time, because it doesn't just do exactly what you want it to, and doesn't compromise to make it more appealing to today's audiences. It feels like Ridley Scott was able to direct without any comments from the studio. This movie will make one think about creation in the world of Alien. Excellent for what it was meant to be, maybe a bad experience if you're a really narrow minded movie goer who wants to be taken for a ride you've been on before.
Channel Zero (2016)
The BEST horror anthology possible for today
Wow, this is by far the most exciting thing since Stranger Things.
The best part is where the story is derived from: Creepypastas
Horror stories from the internet. There couldn't be any richer place to draw story from these days. Brilliant idea making this series, likely inspired in wake of Black Mirror.
In an age where we are seemingly just given regular dosages of memberberries (per South Park), which usually means we can't get any good interesting new original stories into production, here is another anomaly.
Similarly tied to the 80's like Stranger Things, it will keep those addicted to memberberries happy, but it is such a well put together pilot with such a creepy story that any fan of mystery, horror or sci-fi from any age group will be able to appreciate this.
Please, let this become as big as it rightfully should be. 10/10
Update # 1: 10/19
I just want to say after seeing episode 2, that this is VERY special cast and crew. I am already sad because I am sure the cast will only be in season 1, but the crew will likely ensure all future seasons will be great as well.
*tiny spoiler alert, not specific though.
An example of the wonderful production is in a scene where A man is seeing something that is not real in a field, and just as it looks like he is beginning to unexpectedly fall very quickly, the scene changes immediately to a loud knock at the door. This ends up being more chilling than you might expect, and it was very likely carefully executed to perfection as is much of what you will see here. There is no shortage of little things to keep you spooked out and fortunately the ideas found here are very refreshing and new as is the series as a whole. In another scene there is a strange gust of wind you can see at night outside of the mothers house, creepy. In another scene, I am not going to lie.. I was legitimately scared and couldn't wait for it to end, it was nothing gross or gory either, just TERRIFYING.
Siberia (2013)
People's quick to judge attitude, why they are missing this great intense LOST type show
This is by far the best show on t.v. right now. Under the dome is second, but this show is at least twice as entertaining and as this show is taking off into awesome new territory every episode , the dome is getting less and less interesting by the confining nature of a dome show.
Siberia is getting absolutely outstanding in the 7th and 8th episodes. I could tell watching the first episode that this show was going to take a while for anything to happen, and that is okay.
In Lost, their is the plane crash to start things off crazy, and the action really fizzles out for a while, till things shift dramatically later on.
In Siberia, you have to recognize the potential without being sucked in by any major event like a plane crash. However as the show unfolds, and with the cameras having an explanation for being there, this show has a very much more real feel to it.
The show feels much more real than an average show, granted that it like most shows is not to be taken as anything but a scripted drama. It feels more real than Lost, or really any show. That is the beauty of it.
Found footage type movies are sometimes done to where it really adds to the experience and this is basically why the show is INiTIALLY a reality show.
Just think instead of whatever unbelievable event brought the Lost members to the island that there is rather a realistic origin for why these people are stranded in a really cool looking place with cameras.
Most people I have mentioned the show to have quickly said its FAKE!!! Not knowing how ridiculous that is. It's like telling me The Walking Dead is Fake!!! or that Lost was fake. Of. Course it is fake... And that is why it is nothing like Survivor or any of those types of shows(which I believe are fake anyway).
That's why..
It is amazing in the same light as LOST and tonight (tiny spoiler) when some of the group members found a house and broke into it... It was every bit like The Walking Dead's finer moments, just as intense, but more believable or realistic by the nature of the show, although it is not to be mistaken for attempting to be real.
Don't tell me this is a 6 when nothing else on t.v. can even compare.
It is one the most entertaining shows I have ever seen.
Just don't be that fool who keeps saying this is FAKE!! Hahahaha cause that is hilarious, and I am adding you people to my comedy act.
Europa Report (2013)
I think any sci fi fan will think this is good stuff.
I loved the movie, mostly because it dealt with topics that I am very interested in. Space exploration is just.. Awesome. I think this movie was aimed in a very great direction and was executed well; however, in areas it seemed to show that it was lacking power of a bigger budget. At other times that is not the case at all, As there are many great visual scenes, and a fantastic conclusion.
I think the acting was very unexpectedly good, not a single person was a bit unbelievable or annoying or anything like that.
The story is great, and is very much intelligently woven with modern theories and discoveries in science.
There is one thing I will say in a somewhat negative vein. There are certain kinds of scenes that I wish they did way more of, like outside on the planet. Not that they don't do it enough, but you can never have enough of that.
I highly recommend this to any sci fi/ space fanatics
It is one of my favorite movies in the last couple years.
Hope you enjoy it.
Defiance (2013)
Best thing ever to come from SyFy and just great overall.
Wow. From the moment Irisa ( the orange haired girl ) began to sing I knew that this was going to be special.. Everything about this show is class. I have seen basically every Sci-fi series and this is among the best ever made. Far better than something like Revolution or Falling Skies. Although this show is a completely unique new thing including an intertwined video game, it seems to be the SYFY channels retaliation to nearly every network releasing new, large budget and overall very successful sci fi shows of their own within the last three years. When walking dead and game of thrones began to dominate, nearly every channel began to take steps to retaliate and we are really starting to reap the benefits. Thank God for the recent emergence of good quality science fiction television and film.
The show is way better than the previews make it look so just watch it and see if you don't agree with my first two sentences right away.
