As we move further into the summer movie season, one of the biggest films (in more ways than one) still before us is Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim.' This latest featurette explores the more thought-provoking sci-fi of the movie. You know, the actual logistics of the human-piloted giant robots who fight the…

The latest trailer for Guillermo del Toro's 'Pacific Rim' is being referred to as its "official main" trailer. If that's the case, were those first two spectacular previews we got just teasers? I suppose you could easily make that case when compared with this one, which boasts a metric ton of new footage. It's an…

For a long time, we've been hearing about 'Riddick,' the third cinematic adventure featuring Vin Diesel's character from 'Pitch Black.' It was relegated to whispers, however, for quite a while and it seemed that perhaps it was a dead…

Most of the time, when sci-fi movies are terrifying it's because of some ravenous alien creature that sneaks aboard a human spaceship or on whose home planet our heroes find themselves. 'Gravity' on the other hand, is terrifying for the worst-case, but very possible, scenario it puts forth. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron…

In July, a large contingent of movie-goers will be introduced to actor Michael Shannon. He'll be playing the iconic villain General Zod in…

A couple of weeks ago, the first inklings of Christopher Nolan's next directing project hit the web. Of course, 'The Dark…

The movie featured at last year's Comic-Con that generated the most excitement for me was easily 'Elysium.' Directed by Neill Blomkamp ('District 9'), 'Elysium' takes place in a distant future wherein the Earth is so ruined…

Of all the post-apocalyptic films being released in 2013, I'm looking forward to Joseph Kosinski's 'Oblivion' the most. Tom Cruise plays a drone operator assigned to eliminate the last of an alien race on Earth some sixty years after its…

Ever have one of those days when you feel like you're fading away? That's certainly a problem facing the hero of the sci-fi story 'The Shrinking Man.' He is near simultaneously exposed to radiation and insecticide, a combination that causes him to, you guessed it, shrink. The story was…

For a while now, we've been hearing about Brad Bird's super secret Disney project, and still we have very few details to go on. We do know that it will be some sort of sci-fi film, and that …

And, the plot thickens...even without knowing the plot. For a while now we've been hearing about Brad Bird's mysterious project '1952.' Bird has been…

If you aren't familiar with Korean director Bong Joon-ho, correct this oversight at once. Seek out 'The Host,' 'Mother,' and/or 'Memories of a…

As much as the concept for M. Night Shyamalan's new film 'After Earth' intrigues me, and it does, there is just no getting around the fact that it is indeed directed by M. Night Shyamalan. I like the idea of a father and son (in this case played by …

For quite some time now, we've seen teaser posters and set images from the upcoming sci-fi actioner 'Riddick.' This was to be the third time actor …

Late last week, we saw the epic teaser poster for Joesph Kosinski's 'Oblivion,' and now, true to the theme of the day, we have the first trailer for this post-apocalyptic sci-fi actioner. If the poster had me intrigued, the trailer has me hooked. …

This is going to be the day of the sci-fi, post-Earth future movies. First up we have the international trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's 'After Earth,' which also happens to be the first one we've seen. 'After Earth' revolves around a father and son exploration team (…

Tom Cruise seems to have somewhere in the neighborhood of eight projects lined up over the next couple years. One such project is Joseph Kosinski's 'Oblivion.' The movie takes place in a distant future and revolves around a drone…

The thing about Tom Tykwer's/The Wachowskis' 'Cloud Atlas' is that there is so much to the film that it seems impossible to spoil. That may be why Warner Brothers opted to drop that five-minute trailer back in July. However, though it…

Continuing the trend of re-imagined literary classics, fairy tales, and historical figures, prepare yourselves for the ultimate whale tale. Lynne Ramsay (…
