A fresh take on the superhero story, Freaks offers a low-budget, no-frills character drama rooted in sci-fi mythologizing that never feels small. Lexy Kolker delivers a hell of a breakout performance as Chloe, a young girl with powerful gifts who's spent her life trapped in a house with her father, raised to be terrified of the world outside. But w...
Don’t believe the ads that Ad Astra is some kind of space thriller. Yes, there are moon pirates and other action scenes in the abyss of space, but the film is more like a mashup of 2001: A Space Odyssey and Apocalypse Now. The film follows astronaut Roy McBride (Brad Pitt giving one of the best performances of his career), a man closed off from his...
We've been waiting a long time for another good Terminator movie, but thankfully director Tim Miller finally delivered with Terminator: Dark Fate, a sequel that gets back to basics, focusing on solid character arcs punctuated by killer action beats, and sticking faithfully to the playbook of James Cameron's genre-defining first two films. Without a...

About halfway through the Robert Rodriguez manga adaptation Alita: Battle Angel, Rodriguez alumnus Jeff Fahey is introduced as McTeague, a grizzled warrior who is the master of a group cyborg dogs whom he loves very much. It is at this point precisely that Alita: Battle Angelmade the click in my brain from “a curious, satisfyingly atypical experime...
After the breakout success of Happy Death Day Blumhouse and filmmaker Christopher Landon could have been content to copy the same format that made their first film such a hit but instead they decided to take chances and spin the franchise in a new, sci-fi heavy direction. They may hot have been justly rewarded at the box office, but they ended up w...
Jim Mickle's sci-fi crime thriller somehow slipped under the radar this year despite being on Netflix and being a generally engrossing, well-executed science fiction tale. Boyd Holbrook stars as a police officer who stumbles into horrendous series of crimes and winds up locked in the cat-and-mouse change that will define decades of his life... and ...
I don’t need Spider-Man: Far from Home to become a sci-fi leaning action film. I don’t need it to interact with the ramifications of Avengers: Endgame or any other MCU movie. Heck, I don’t need Peter Parker to ever don his Spidey suit and swing around. It’s because at the core of Spider-Man: Far from Home, like the previous Jon Watts/Tom Holland so...
A lovely, lonely, and avant-garde descent into apocalyptic grief, Starfish is the feature directorial debut from Ghostlight frontman A.T. White, aka Al White, that's beautifully shot, experimental and meditative. Halloween and Runaways standout Virginia Gardner stars as Aubrey, a woman who wakes up alone in a post-apocalyptic landscape after her be...
