Sci-Fi movie set in a fictional world, where aliens have become refugees confined to District 9, a refugee camp in South Africa.

The extraterrestrial race have been forced to live in a slum-like environment on Earth for the years since their arrival. Suddenly they find a kindred spirit in Wikus (Sharlto Copley) a government agent that after being exposed to their biotechnology flees into District 9.

District 9 is based on Alive in Joburg, (which you can watch for free when you click through!)- it's a short film produced by Neill Blomkamp.

There are several versions of the District 9 trailer on the net, and I have the new unblurred District 9 trailer with alien subtitles.

A spoiler free review.

The opening credit montage to depict the "early years" (which did have some similarities with the superior opening credits of Watchmen) started the action and adrenalin pumping which I am happy to say continued mostly right through to the end of the movie.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine is the second blockbuster fantasy sci-fi comic book to movie crossover this year., with a balance of special effects, visuals, storytelling and character development, like Hugh Hackmans muscles, were strong and I would have liked a bit more time getting to know Deadpool (played by Ryan Reynolds)

In the fight between Mother Nature and Man, who will win?

Director Ransom Riggs has produced yet another amazing short.
It brings to mind the quote from the sci-fi classic movie War Games  when Joshua said: 

"A strange game.  The only winning move is not to play.  How about a nice game of chess?"

The movie trailer for MOON looks like your classic good quality science fiction artistic movie. Quality acting, ideas music and visuals.

The tagline:

MOON
950,000 miles from home
the hardest thing to face...
is yourself.

MOON is an independent sci-fi movie directed by Duncan Jones (AKA David Bowie’s son – Zowie Bowie) staring Sam Rockwell, and has a bit of a 2001 feel, not afraid to have periods of silence from time to time.  As you would if you were stuck on the moon by yourself for 3 years.

Amazing 3D animated short film trailer invites you to Meet Meline.

Two years of intense work on the independent film by Sebastien Laban have produced something that would make DreamWorks and Pixar stand up and take notice. Complementing the stunning artwork and visuals, are the official music of Meet Meline composed by Guillaume Roussel.

I was captivated by the teaser/trailer of the Sci-Fi Fantasy 6 minute short film, where a little girl searches for a mysterious little creature.
You can really feel the warmth and dedication they have invested in making this, as it transforms into spine tingling magic.

 I have noticed that the Sci-Fi Channel / Network has had less and less science fiction over the years. - ie: Showing wrestling and the like.

What the hell?

So you could call them the "Sci-Fi Less" channel

But now they have yet again changed the logo artwork and the spelling as well.
It is now spelt SyFy which would have to be be pronounced like this:

So I guess with even less Sci-Fi, that makes them now truly the syfy-less channel.

Hmmm... syphilis     nice one...

I think the executives that came up with that one really have captured the contribution that they have given to the Sci-Fi community...

Yes, I have registered www.syencefyction.com  and pointed it here - at least now THAT can have some real science fiction, not just Syence Fyction.
What the hell is Syence Fyction anyway??

There are many science fiction shows that feature a teleport or transporter device of some description.

Basically a device to disassemble an object or person and then reassemble them at some great distance away.

Have you have ever wondered if the science fiction stories of nanotechnology turning the world into a mass of “grey-goo” will ever come to pass?

Unfortunately the answer is yes.

Especially with this excellent artistic training cartoon on how to achieve just that sci-fi dystopian end.

If you have been laughed at by your peers, picked on at school, and humiliated in front of the opposite sex, then this how to be amazing video is just for you.

So nerd up, get out your notepad, sharpen that HB pencil, click through to the cartoon and start taking notes.
