Archive (2020) 78% 4/5 EDIT “The clock is clearly ticking and for all of science fiction's visual cues, there's a nerve-rattling tension to Archive that owes more to horror.” – SciFiNow Jul 16, 2021 Full Review Reunion (2020) 91% 3/5 EDIT “Whether this spectre is grief, guilt, a ghost, or all three, is largely open to interpretation, and Reunion is at its most elegant when it explores the nature of memory and trauma.” – SciFiNow Mar 26, 2021 Full Review Possessor: Uncut (2020) 94% 5/5 EDIT “A line of absolute intent threads every image, sound or scene together to create a lattice of double, triple meanings that the viewer is tasked with untangling and then untangling some more.” – SciFiNow Feb 12, 2021 Full Review Relic (2020) 92% 3/5 EDIT “A beautifully disturbing and atmospheric film that has a lot to say, but says it a little too quickly and rather too loudly for its lessons to truly linger.” – SciFiNow Jan 8, 2021 Full Review Robot & Frank (2012) 87% 3/5 EDIT “Genuinely funny and, by its closing chapter, heart-wrenching, [Jake] Schreier and [Christopher D.] Ford's debut feature is simultaneously one of the most safely uncontroversial and idiosyncratically lovely small scale sci-fi movies in a while.” – SciFiNow Sep 19, 2017 Full Review Room 237 (2012) 94% 3/5 EDIT “The presentation is all fairly straight-faced and largely without comment, with only mischievous uses of accompanying footage serving as a deadpan riposte to some of the more obviously insane theories.” – SciFiNow Sep 19, 2017 Full Review Dredd (2012) 80% 4/5 EDIT “Like George Orwell's 1984 for fans of Jason Statham's The Transporter” – SciFiNow Sep 19, 2017 Full Review Lovely Molly (2011) 46% 4/5 EDIT “There's a pleasing cyclical neatness to Lovely Molly.” – SciFiNow Sep 19, 2017 Full Review The Devil Inside (2012) 6% 2/5 EDIT “Without much of a storyline to carry it on, all we're left with is a barrage of meaningless encounters, migraine-inducing camera-work and populated by characters in which you lack any real emotional investment.” – SciFiNow Sep 19, 2017 Full Review Prometheus (2012) 73% 4/5 EDIT “Prometheus is a mesmerising collision of theological angst, going further than Alien in beating on HP Lovecraft's tentacle doorknocker.” – SciFiNow Nov 9, 2016 Full Review The Wolverine (2013) 71% 4/5 EDIT “[Jackman has] grown into the role - carrying around a rough hemp sack of weariness, regret, determination and anger with each twitch of his scowl or line around his eyes.” – SciFiNow Jul 14, 2015 Full Review X-Men: First Class (2011) 86% 3/5 EDIT “That it comes with a real sense of charm, warmth and fun -- long since strangers to this particular franchise -- is a bonus.” – SciFiNow Jul 13, 2015 Full Review Marvel's the Avengers (2012) 91% 4/5 EDIT “[Marvel's The Avengers] is such a pure and unadulterated comic-book movie that it will bring you to tears.” – SciFiNow Jul 7, 2015 Full Review
