The last feature film, so far, from animation icon Don Bluth, co-directed by Gary Goldman, the ambitious Titan A.E. sought to build a massive Star Wars-esque universe in the world of feature animation. Audiences balked, but the results are exciting, with sparkling dialogue and unexpected turns courtesy of writers Ben Edlund (The Tick), John August ...
Steven Soderbergh’s remake of Andrei Tarkovsky’s Solaris might not stand up to the sprawling original, but for a condensed version of a trippy, thoughtful sci-fi narrative, it’s impressively complete. George Clooneystars as a grieving psychologist sent to investigate a faraway space station, in which the crew members all refuse to come home. When h...
It’s bizarre to imagine that Treasure Planet, one of Disney animation’s last great 2D masterpieces, was such a monumental flop on its original release. Perhaps people still had/have trouble accepting animation as an action-packed thrill ride. Perhaps “steampunk” was still too esoteric back in 2002 to be understood by the mainstream. But whatever th...
Jon Favreau’s first foray into pop filmmaking, and the film that got him the gig directing Iron Man, is this wonderfully creative adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg’s Zathura. Ostensibly a companion piece to Jumanji, the story once again revolves around bored children playing a board game that unexpectedly flings into larger-than-life adventure. Exce...
The sun is dying, and the only way to reignite it is to send a team into space and hurl a nuclear bomb into it. In the hands of a mainstream Hollywood filmmaker, Sunshine would probably have been dumb as hell, but director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire) and writer Alex Garland (Ex Machina) aren’t nearly that boring. They fill Sunshine with big i...

There’s only one robot left, his name is WALL-E, and all he really cares about is that he’s very, very alone. Until one day, another robot lands on Earth,...
The Star Trek universe got even bigger with J.J. Abrams’ impressive 2009 reboot, which smartly created an alternate reality, preserving all the precious continuity from the original shows and movies while striking out in an all-new direction. A perfectly cast crew - featuring Chris Pine, Zoe Saldana, Zachary Quinto, Simon Pegg, John Cho and Anton Y...
The debut feature from Duncan Jonesis a quirky, lonely sci-fi story about Sam (Sam Rockwell), a miner who’s running a space station on the moon all by himself, with only an artificially intelligent smiley face to keep him company. The ennui is overpowering and vaguely funny, until he makes a shocking discovery that puts everything about his mission...
Christian Alvari’s Pandorum is one of the most criminally underseen and underappreciated sci-fi thrillers of the century (so far). The film starsDennis Quaid and Ben Fosteras astronauts who wake up in the middle of hypersleep, in a cavernous spaceship that needs fixing. The sudden removal from hibernation leaves them without memories and possibly s...
It’s hard to make deeply personal films on a gigantic budget, but that’s just what Gravity is. Sandra Bullock stars Ryan Stone, as a rookie astronaut who gets sent soaring into space when a debris field obliterates her ship and her co-pilot, played by George Clooney. Breathtakingly realized by director Alfonso Cuaron(who won an Oscar for this), muc...
