OVERVIEW – Science Fiction Movies
1. ‘The Adam Project’ (Shawn Levy, 2022)
A time traveler from the year 2050 ( Ryan Reynolds ) has set out on a rescue mission to find Laura ( Zoe Saldana ), the woman he loves. She got lost in the space-time continuum under mysterious circumstances, and never returned. However, the engine fails, and when Adam’s ship breaks down, he spirals down to Earth in the year 2022. By then, he’ll head to the only place he knows of from that time: his house. Finally explained, this is how time travel works in ‘The Adam Project’.
2. ‘Annihilation’ (Alex Garland, 2018)
Area X is a mysterious place controlled by a powerful unknown force. To find out what happened to her husband, injured on an expedition to that strange place, a biologist will lead a new group of brave men to the area. Written and directed by Alex Garland, nominated for an Oscar for the screenplay for ‘ Ex Machina ‘ (2015), it adapts the first of the three installments of the successful ‘Southern Reach’ saga, by Jeff VanderMeer. A tough, intoxicating and delicious hard science fiction story that, like ‘ Under the Skin ‘ (Jonathan Glazer, 2013) a couple of years earlier, manages to permeate the viewer permanently.
3. ‘Blade Runner 2049’ (Denis Villeneuve, 2017)
Sequel to ‘Blade Runner’ (1982), considered one of the masterpieces of the science fiction genre directed by Ridley Scott who, on this occasion, will act as producer, ceding the direction of the film to Canadian Denis Villeneuve. It’s not a flawless movie (some script decisions, for example, are unusually whimsical), but it is an extraordinary movie. The dialogue in Scott’s film transcends nostalgia and the need to give continuity to the story .
4. ‘Okja’ (Bong Jon-hoo, 2017)
In the not too distant future, the meat industry will be in deep trouble and will need a questionable super pig program to remedy it. But aren’t we already reaching that point? Are we not turning a blind eye to a food system with a lot of shadows? Despite its futuristic tone, we should pay attention to it. It is not exactly Bong Joon-ho’s best film, before he had given us jewels like ‘Memories of Murder’ (2003), ‘The Host’ (2006), ‘Mother’ (2009), ‘Snowpiercer’ ( 2013) and then went international with ‘Parasites’ (2019), but this is on Netflix.
5. ‘Life (Life)’ (Daniel Espinosa, 2017)
In their search for extraterrestrial life on Mars, a crew from the International Space Station will discover that what could be one of the greatest breakthroughs in human history is, at the same time, evidence of a form of life more intelligent than expected. What would be expected. There is nothing new, neither in form nor in substance, but ‘Life’ is far from being a failed movie . Perhaps the mistake is to demand originality from works that do not have innovation as their fundamental purpose. Precisely, the best lies in its cunning simplicity.
6. ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’ (Jon Watts, 2017)
A young Peter Parker begins to experience his newfound identity as the superhero Spider-Man. Under the watchful eye of his supervisor, Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.), Peter tries to maintain a normal life, but the new villain, Vulture (Michael Keaton), breaks into his daily routine and, with him, the most important thing in Peter’s life, falls apart. will be threatened. Third character reboot in less than fifteen years and, even so, a complete critical and public success, how is it possible? Does it deserve to be seen despite everything? How powerful are the marvelite hordes? ‘Spider-Man: Homecoming’, the best and worst of the last spider-man.
7. ‘Of love and monsters’ (Michael Matthews, 2020)
The film tells the story of an apocalypse like any other: in this case, a meteorite was about to crash into the planet, so the plan was devised to explode it before the collision, with the result that the chemical remains they fell on the population causing the birth of monsters that ended up destroying 95% of the population. Seven years later, Joel (Dylan O’Brien) has decided to stop being the weak link in his community and go in search of his high school sweetheart, Aimee (Jessica Henwick), from whom he had to separate the day that everything is twisted.
The story tells of how the world we know can be turned upside down , and yet there is still room to find an equally fulfilling new way of living. It talks about how we should stop clinging to the idea of an ideal life under the codes of the past and start building an ideal life with those of the present. Even if that includes a giant snail or some flying jellyfish.
8. ‘Don’t look up’ (Adam McKay, 2021)
Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) makes a startling discovery: a huge comet is about to collide with Earth. The problem? That nobody seems to care. Film along the lines of other McKay works , such as ‘The Big Short’ and ‘The Vice of Power’, a satire on catastrophes full of bad slime that allowed us to discover the great chemistry between DiCaprio and Lawrence. If you haven’t seen it yet and you’re wondering if ‘Don’t Look Up’ is worth it , you’re already taking time.
9. ‘Lucy’ (Luc Besson, 2014)
Johansson plays a woman forced to work as a (drug) mule who gains supernatural powers when the drug bag ruptures and narcotics come into contact with her body. So, she becomes a killing machine, with a prodigious memory and lightning speed. An accessory plot, an exotic setting, a villain with a pedigree (the South Korean Choi Min-sik in his first film in the West) and a leading lady, a highly dedicated Scarlett Johansson, born to kill, complete a devastating start, high-voltage escapist cinema that he makes it so that neither the feeling of déjà vu nor his Einsteinian gags matter.
10. ‘The Mitchells against the machines’ (Michael Rianda, Jeff Rowe, 2021)
The Mitchell family’s road trip is interrupted by a technological insurrection that threatens humanity; the robopocalypse is coming! It might be ironic to watch a movie on Netflix about how a real-life connection is better than Wi-Fi, but we’ll forgive that, since ‘The Mitchells vs. the Machines’ is damn good .
