Speculative Fiction Friday

Speculative Fiction Saturday: Almost Human

November 23, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

o ALMOST HUMAN 570

I usually don't review TV series on Speculative Fiction Saturday, and I think it is simply because there is there are probably not too much of them. I reviewed Continuum a while ago, and I should probably get around to writing on my take on Doctor Who. Many sci-fi shows have a big budget, and they often don't find their audience before the money runs out. Take shows like … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Saturday: Almost Human

Speculative Fiction Friday: Cloud Atlas

MV5BMTczMTgxMjc4NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNjM5MTA2OA@@. V1 SX214

I have mentioned several times on Speculative Fiction Friday that I am very tired of excellent films being ignored due to the amount of speculative fiction elements in them like Big Fish and today's film, Cloud Atlas. Today, I realized that my mother will never enjoy some of my favorite films because they have been slapped with the sci-fi/fantasy label. However, I think … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Cloud Atlas

Speculative Fiction Friday Inception: Yeah, I figure I should

Inception Poster inception 2010 13368481 1029 1500

I figured that it was about time that I wrote an article on a relatively recent film that has now become a classic. Inception is one of those films that is speculative fiction, but it tones down a lot of speculative fiction elements for the sake of its story so much that there are times when I forget it is supposed to be speculative fiction. Not that the film doesn't have a … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday Inception: Yeah, I figure I should

Speculative Fiction Friday: Star Trek, Into Darkness

June 14, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

star trek into darkness 1

I realize that I don't review speculative films that are recent, and I suppose that whatever hype this film has will soon be discontinued by whatever new summer movie that is coming out, which will be that new Superman flick. I'm going to start this article by just saying that I didn't really like this film. This isn't to say that I absolutely hated this film, any more … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Star Trek, Into Darkness

Speculative Fiction Friday: The Cabin in the Woods

June 7, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

cabin in the woods

Most people would call The Cabin in the Woods a horror film, but there is enough far out elements to classify it as speculative fiction. I realize that is a spoiler, but I would have to say that The Cabin in the Woods is more a parody of horror films. As a Christian, I don't think I can really recommend horror movies. In many cases, I put them on a level a little above … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: The Cabin in the Woods

Speculative Fiction Friday: Idiocracy

May 24, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

idiocracy

Idiocracy is one of those films that uses a lot of conventions seen in most speculative fiction films, but I wouldn't necessarily give it a label of speculative fiction. Granted, it has special effects, takes place in the future, but it is a successful satire of where we could be headed. I must say that I disagree with the basic premise of Idiocracy. At the beginning, … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Idiocracy

Speculative Fiction Friday: Pi

April 19, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

pi poster

One of the reasons why I like watching speculative fiction films is that they are often not afraid to be different. I wouldn't say that Pi is speculative fiction, but it is certainly one of the most unique films that I have seen. The film is by Darren Aronofsky, who has made a lot interesting films over the years. I have not seen Requiem for a Dream, which I believe is a … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Pi

Speculative Fiction Friday: Looper

March 16, 2013 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I've seen a lot of time travel movies before, and they usually boil down to "we have to stop some bad event that happened in the past so we can save our future, which is actually the present". You have to suspend your disbelief a lot to believe in time travel, and you had to do it even more in Looper. Looper is based on the belief that time travel is here, but it won't be … [Read more...] about Speculative Fiction Friday: Looper
