Not many would have expected Gunn’s Guardians to be the hit that they have been, but it’s a surprise that has sensationally won the hearts of comic book fans that have remained beating ever since their first appearance in 2014. Gunn gathers his team together with Chris Pratt, Dave Bautista, Bradley Cooper, Vin Diesel, Karen […]

Avatar: The Way of Water – Review
It’s been thirteen years since James Cameron first invited us into the world of Pandora, and a lot has happened in that time between. Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) remained in Pandora after protecting its people against his own. He is now the chief of the Omaticaya tribe (I had to google that) with Neytiri (Zoe […]
Clay VS Classic: Avatar (2009)
In 2009, James Cameron’s ambitious sci-fi epic finally saw its release after many years of preparation and fine-tuning and now, with even more time passing, that movie gets its long-awaited sequel. Avatar was rewarded for its technical brilliance not only with Oscars, but with an honour that it obnoxiously refuses to be budged from, by […]
The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special – Review
When you see the words Holiday Special it’s hard not to be instantly reminded of another of Disney’s acquired products. Star Wars’ baffling, bizarre and very off topic Holiday Special is one that many people wish to forget. Released in ’78 and before Disney bought the rights to its properties but seemingly still want no […]
The Adam Project – Review
Netflix’s latest dip into the sci-fi genre presents us with two inevitable decisions in the film industry. One being a time-travel element that seems to be the top thing at the moment, and the other being the inclusion of Ryan Reynolds, which as we know is a sure-fire way of reeling in interest. The Adam […]
The Matrix: Resurrections – Review
It was over twenty years ago when Keanu Reeves chose the red pill, and took us down a rabbit hole of science fiction intrigue with the Wachowski twins at the helm. After two highly disappointing sequels, it seemed as though the Matrix franchise was riding on the success of its timeless 1999 opener. Reeves and […]
Ghostbusters: Afterlife – Review
The idea of bringing this franchise back from the dead was met with immediate concern for those brought up on the original series. In 2016 that’s exactly what they did, but turning it into a female led rethread of an adored classic caused long running fans of the franchise to come out with their pitchforks. […]
Dune (2021) – Review
If there was ever a director that would be more fitting to tackle Frank Herbert’s sci-fi classic in the modern age, it would have to be Denis Villeneuve. The director’s portfolio has only gone from strength to strength, and his ability to create masterful work on such a grand scale makes him the perfect candidate […]
The Tomorrow War – Review
From his days as the funny man in Parks and Recreation to being at the top of the list when an action hero is needed, Chris Pratt has quickly cemented himself as Hollywood’s first choice action man. And once again he finds himself centre stage in Amazon Prime exclusive, The Tomorrow War. The world watches […]
Bliss – Review
I was personally intrigued by what writer/director Mike Cahill had to say with his latest sci-fi picture Bliss. Especially when the trailer dropped it seemed to present a certain lure and would perhaps provide something different, in a time when I believe we so desperately need it. As the film started unraveling its high concept […]
