Disney has catapulted Star Wars back onto the hot discussion train as there is rarely…
Schlagwort: Star Wars
In what can only be described as a surprising turn of events Disney has acquired Lucasfilm. What is even more interesting that they have also announced that Star Wars: Episode VII is slated for a 2015 release – along with the rumored Justice League and Avengers 2 this will make for one hell of a crowded summer.
Ridley Scott has returned to the Alien franchise after a long string of not so exciting projects. With Prometheus interviews and trailers there is the promise of a return to science fiction in the vein of Blade Runner and the original Alien.
But is Prometheus a return to form?
For the 35th anniversary of the original Star Wars (May 25th 1977) I have decided to post a review I wanted to write months ago but never found the time to do it. The Star Wars documentary The People vs. George Lucas.
A new trailer for the polished up version of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes back by Adywan has been released. The trailer is similar to the first one but with a few new surprises:

Source Code is a sci-fi movie
And by sci-fi, I mean real sci-fi not a fantasy story with some spaceships in it (Star Wars), not a fantasy story with some machine guns (Avatar), not a fast paced space western (Star Trek XI)…
Source Code is a sci-fi film meaning that it uses technology as a means of conflict and eventually reflects on our own fears of mortality by using overexagerated technological concepts (and a lot of creativity).
Because I was late to the movie and missed the first 8 minutes and because it was in french I was at first not really sure what was going on, having only read that it is about trying to prevent an explosion in a train – but I guess like most movies of this genre confusion at the beginning is intended since those movies are meant to be watched a second time to see all the hints that were already placed at the beginning.
