Review: SURROGATES

Just like when I saw I, Robot, when I left the theater I had one thought. Great sci-fi still exists.

It doesn't have to be hot women in tight suits fighting robots, it doesn't have to be a man who can teleport. It can be somewhat simple, and like all great sci-fi, if it uses the world it presents you with to make stinging social commentary, it can be a solid movie.

Review: KNOWING

What if you knew the world is going to end and there was nothing you could do about it?

Knowing goes where no end of the world film has ever gone before, it does not try to explain every event in the movie in a deceptively logical fashion. Very few movies choose this path, afraid they will not be taken seriously. When you put your mind to it, you notice a few things: A) most popcorn movies have preposterous plots that need not to be taken seriously, B) explanation in films take up time that might be used for more important things, such as character development, and C) I really do not go to see movies so I can learn how the Earth’s magnetic sphere works.
