Gravity (2013)
don't let go
the movie is actually quite nice, and science fiction movies are rare as it is.
so i am not going to bash one lightly.
also i don't write many reviews, only if the movie really makes me by containing some blatant big obvious good or bad thing.
this one scene totally kills the movie for me. clooney fell victim to some virtual non existing gravity. hence the name of the movie?
i wouldn't say anything about some small unimportant error, every movie has them. but this is a major plot point, it's plain unacceptable to base that on such an obvious error.
Masters of Science Fiction (2007)
very, very poor outer limits rip-off
they did obviously not choose the stories for their content, but for their ability to be filmed in not much more than one room and without any special effects.
virtually every outer limits episode is more interesting than any of these.
also every science fiction short story i ever read (and they are not a few) was better than these episodes.
grabbing any random science fiction anthology and converting it into to a mini series of this kind would have given a much much better result.
what was stephen hawking thinking? i consider him intelligent. probably mo-ney mo-ney mo-ney.
Los cronocrímenes (2007)
Why the hell did he do that?
i am a fan of sci-fi in general, but not of horror. sadly enough, they often come combined and i need to live with that. i like puzzling time travel movies. although this one has all the ingredients, it is not one of them.
in short, this guy is lured into a time machine and gets sent back in time. this scientist explains to him, that he basically has to make sure his younger self also has to go into the time machine to set things right. so far so good.
but the way he goes at that has no logic at all. his original trip to the time machine is triggered by him seeing a naked woman in the woods. so i expect to find out through the eyes of his older self, why the woman was there in the fist place. but guess what! he just grabs her and forces her to get naked! wtf?!
