The Electric State Is A Terrible Sci-Fi Movie
The Electric State is terrible. A very generic plot with guessable moments at every stage only highlights how nonsensical the out-there worldbuilding becomes.

3% Is A Cut Above The Usual Percent Of Shows?
Watching 3% Has A Minor Entry Barrier Let’s get the obvious thing out of the way regarding 3% as an English speaking, American viewer: if you just press play, it’s in Portuguese and dubbed over with English actors, with the only other option being to watch it subbed. Really, though, a good story is a good…
Dystopian Overdone: Aren’t You Tired Of Evil Societies?
If you were to peg it down, The Hunger Games is where this all got started. And, from that sentence, it should be clear what I mean, but for those who do not know: we are living in a dystopian world. I don’t mean that politically. What I’m referring to is the prevalence of the…
TRAILER TALK: The Scorch Trials
It’s a good thing that The Maze Runner did well last year when it premiered worldwide, because it raised more questions than it answered. The first film adapted from the Maze Runner trilogy by James Dashner was well-received by critics and audiences and will be continued with the upcoming The Scorch Trials. You can check…
MOVIE REVIEW: Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)
Directed by George Miller. Starring Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Zoe Kravitz, Riley Keough and Rosie Hungtington-Whitely. R, 120 minutes. I first saw The Road Warrior when I was eleven years old. On a steady diet of high-octane action movies even prior to this (mostly starring Arnold Schwarzenegger), I thought I had…
WEEK OF CHAOS: “Garbage Man”
(NOTE BEFORE READING: Use the links. They’re your friends.) We begin our Week of Chaos (READ THIS) with a piece that requires little introduction. Among our oldest Friday Fiction pieces, “Garbage Man” was requested by the Editor-in-Chief of Sci-Fi Bloggers to be prepared and ready for the upcoming segment in one night. And so it was that Brandon Scott became…

BOOK REVIEW: The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
I think there might be something wrong with science fiction writers. Which is quite the statement, because I am a science fiction writer. Why do we like to end the world so much? What is so inherently appealing about destroying it? Is it because we have a grudge against society, and this is our way…
Confessions of a Sci-Fi Newbie #9 – Alfonso Cuaron’s Children of Men (2007)
BEWARE: I tried to keep it spoiler-free, but…things might’ve happened. How much is life worth? Can you measure its value in war-torn buildings, shambles of disintegrating civility, or is it easier to simply count the bodies, piled upon one another in ditches and crevices of human hope? Alfonso Cuaron’s Children of Men depicts a world…
Keyoka’s Top 10 FAVE Sci-Fi Movies
My top is always changing. These kinds of lists are hardest to do because, when attempting to squeeze the best of the best into ten numbers, or even forty or a hundred, you’re bound to leave something out. I watch so many movies, and it was tragically difficult to put them all into a list….
Retro Review: Logan’s Run (1976)
Logan’s Run (1976) from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Who: Directed by Michael Anderson (Around the World in Eighty Days (1956)), starring a very blond Michael York as the titular Logan, and the great Peter Ustinov as “Old Man” (he’s actually an important character, don’t worry). What: In the future, those still alive live in one comfortable dome city and…
Confessions of a Sci-Fi Newbie #5 – Serenity
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. As a self-proclaimed and certified Newbie, every week it is my goal to throw myself head first into all things sci-fi, specifically peering into some of the most critically acclaimed TV shows and movies! I check out the show in pure tabula rasa fashion, with typically nada knowledge about the premise and letting…
