Movie Reviews

Well, I liked it.

I have been reading some of the reviews for this movie preceding me on this list. I cannot believe how many hated it or considered it a blatant rip-off of 2001 and other movies like it. Hey, good ideas are always borrowed. That's life. Get over it. It was a great movie. Great effects. Music was overly patriotic but it is set in 2020; how are we to know what the future's little details will be?If the people who hated it and considered the movie a rip-off, then they are looking too hard for something that is not there. Let's see you movie scrutinizers try to make a movie that is not "ripping-off" another movie - I'd like to see you try.And Mission To Mars dialogue was not that bad; they're supposed to be astronauts, not writers.I give it 7/10.

Sci-fi -- for the thinking spectators, that is

No laser beams. No alien attackers coming to consume Earth. No Will Smith and no Charlize Theron in sexy outfit. Not frightened yet? Read on...I saw this movie in a cinema with my girlfriend - a Physics teacher. What we both liked was how it followed laws of physics - it was perhaps the first sci-fi we saw which showed properly how space works and what vacuum is all about.I read in one review that the scene where they raise the USA flag is pathetic, when they should be running into the base to look for survivors; I disagree: Since they arrived nearly a year AFTER the incident, rushing doesn't make any sense.I liked the "puzzle" part of the movie, as well as the final moments when the truth is revealed. Some laughed at that point, but I liked it a lot.Remember how Space Odyssey plays with the idea that the intelligent life on Earth might be a product of "targetted imprinting"? Well, M2M suggests yet another possibility, and I find that extremely appealing.The cast seemed brave to me: No top-class stars, no pretty faces, but instead good actors that are believable (after all, Garry Sinise played in Apollo 13 and Jerry O'Connell played a similar role in "The Sphere").
