Project X
"It will happen in 14 days, it will happen in 14 days." "The West will be destroyed in 14 days" This is the desperate cry of secret agent Hagen Arnold as he is sending a message to his superiors. Agent Hagen is on his way back to the U.S when he is attacked by a fellow agent who injects a serum that erases his memory. Hagen was on a mission to obtain intelligence on the region of the world know as Sino-Asia. He was assigned to gather intelligence about a population bomb that was being developed by the enemy and determine the threat to the West. However he is double crossed by a traitor and rendered unconscious upon arrival to the West. Now it is up to a group of scientist to probe his memory and unlock the information the military needs. This is the beginning of the 1968 movie Project X produced by William Castle and based on a set of novels by U.K. author L.P. Davies. The movie stars Christopher George as Hagen Arnold, Monte Markham as Gregory Galilea, and Greta Baldwin as Karen Summers. Other cast members include Henry Jones as Dr. Crowther, Harold Gould as Col. Holt, and Lee Delano as Dr. Tony Verity.

'Annihilation' Review
Very little was known about Annihilation when previews started to be shown before other movies. Even going into the theater to see it, I was not fully sure what the movie was about. However, there were several things in the preview that had me curious, so I decided to give it a try.

Ready Player One Movie Review
Released: 28th March 2018 (UK) Length: 140 Minutes Certificate: 12A Director: Steven Spielberg Since their beginnings half a decade ago, gaming has risen to become a fledgling part of pop culture, but it’s rare to see a major film release tribute them so absolutely. Spielberg, a fan of the medium himself, has now turned his attention to Ernest Cline’s Ready Player One, a love letter to geek culture from the eighties to the present.

What makes a sci-fi movie sci-fi is that it uses the visual conventions of the future to ask philosophical questions about the present and the human condition in general. What does it mean to be free, to be human, or good? These are the sorts of questions explored by the best sci-fi, and by the most anticipated science fiction movies in 2018.

'Pacific Rim Uprising' Review
I'm a huge fan of robots fighting kaijus. I'm a giant fan of franchises like Godzilla, Gamera, and King Kong. I fell in love with the first Pacific Rim film when it first came out because, like the before mentioned franchises, all you really want to see are giant monstrosities beat each other up for supreme dominance.

Review: 'Pacific Rim: Uprising'. Top Story - March 2018.
While the first Pacific Rim film had over-the-top characters and was very silly in tone, it had great action, stunning visual effects, and was really fun. That was mainly thanks to Guillermo Del Toro being director.

Best Animated Sci-Fi Movies Ever Made
Animation has given us a bundle of well-written and entrancing stories to enjoy, from the likes of The Land Before Time, to even the less known Ed Edd n' Eddy. It doesn't matter if you like the more niche community of Japanese anime, you sure do know it exists. Ignoring movies like The Incredibles and The Brave Little Toaster (absolute classics in their own right), I'd rather take a look at our wildest science fiction anime iterations taken from the likes of the most conceptual and talented films on sci-fi.
