Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)
Rating: ★★★★½
Jun 25, 2010Alien Duplication and Takeover
An excellent remake of the Cold War classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The original has now been smartly retooled for the 1970s and slots right into the Me Generation era with paranoia perfectly intact

Rating: ★★★
Mar 22, 2001Michael Crichton Adaptation/Sexual Harassment Thriller/Virtual Reality
It is telling that the only film made about workplace sexual harassment up to this point is one that painted the male as a victim. This adaptation of a Michael Crichton book came mired in controversy

Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within (2001)
Rating: ★★★★
Jul 15, 2001Anime/Alien Soul Devourers
Despite being made by the same company, this has absolutely nothing to do with the Final Fantasy videogame. It is a visually stunning work of anime that takes place on an epic scale set after Earth has been invaded by spirit beings

The Hunger Games (2012)

The Hunger Games (2012)
Rating: ★★½
Mar 29, 2012Future Televised Human Hunting
A Young Adult box-office hit that does little more than competently shuffle around ideas from other SF films. Jennifer Lawrence makes an impressive showing but the film also soft-pedals the moral reality of its scenario

Rating: ★★½
Nov 23, 2013Future Televised Human Hunting/Social Revolution
The first sequel to the box-office juggernaut. The surprise is that it spends defies most of the things that made the first film, not to mention has made one of the year's biggest box-office hits into a parable for Marxist revolution

Rating: ★★★
Sep 19, 2014Serial Killer Thriller
Modest serial killer thriller – imagine one of the numerous Silence of the Lambs copies crossbred with Fargo. The film's quiet pace soon segues into an absorbing thriller plot, while Christopher Heyerdahl gives a fine performance as the killer

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 (2014)
Rating: ★★
Nov 22, 2014Future Social Revolution
The third The Hunger Games film starts in with a more brooding complexity but with the book being split in two parts, the story feels more thinly drawn and comes to an abrupt end just when it starts to get interesting

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (2015)
Rating: ★★½
Nov 28, 2015Future Social Revolution
The finale of the saga comes with a tough, gritty edge that make it the best directed of the series. On the other hand, it builds well only to arrive at an ending that goes oddly sideways and throws sympathies to the wind

Dec 14, 2019Mission to the Outer Reaches of the Solar System
In the same vein as Gravity and The Martian, this depicts spaceflight with scrupulous scientific regard. Essentially Apocalypse Now in space with Brad Pitt on a mission to Neptune to find his father who has gone rogue
