Science Movie Reviews

Don't buy this movie thinking that it will be some real thriller with a lot of blood and guts. It was released by Pulsepounders, a Canadian film company which produces family film horror.

Thouroughly entrenched in the PG range, this is more Goosebumps than Scream and that's a good thing for parents with kids into the horror genre.

A teenage boy uses his wits and the support of his family to save his town from a coven of Vampires. The special effects aren't great, the costumes aren't either, but it serves its purpose of edge-of-the-seat, while at the same time still safe, entertainment a parent can safely let their child watch without worrying it will warp them.

I've never even heard of this movie, and it's already on DVD! What's up with that!

While clearly assembled for little more than pocket change, this bizarre combination of black humor and science fiction is its own category of high art. Superb acting, camera work, and effects easily help the viewer over the occasional "huh?" in the wandering storyline. This obviously disturbed filmmaker should be persuaded to make at least one more.

what else can i say but.....perfection. My faith in sci-fi was damaged with movies like terminator (1&2) The alien series and other horrid movies like predator. But low and behold a blessing comes in the form of CYBER TRACKER. This is the best movie i have ever seen, I will never understand why it was not nominated for oscar(s) It could have won in any catergory drama, comedy, action, and romance. Don the dragon Wilson gives possibly the best performence since John gertyue in Killer clowns from outer space. From the looks of it GOD himself did the special effects, not since Toxic avenger 4 have i seen effects like these. They were 2 say the least captivating. Not to mention the score James horner knows nothing about music compared to this guy. I dont know what else to say, you have to check his gem out for your self. and if you have time check out CYBER TRACKER2, CYBERNATOR(which is included in the great sci-fi double pack with cybercity) and cyborgcop please e-mail me back with your own personal reviews oh yeah it's a great country when you can get BIRD ON A WIRE, CYBERTRACKER, AND LEORNARD PART 6 ON DVD, BUT CANT GET STARWARS INDIANA JONES, FORREST GUMP, OR JURASSIC PARK AMONG OTHER CLASSICS THANX ALOT MR. LUCAS AND MR SPEILBERG COCK

It would require a better writer than I to do justice to this indie gem. But without question it's the kind of film u can fall in love with. I love this movie!

In the year 2018, a poet named Liam finishes writing a new kind of "bible", and becomes a future prophet. He journeys back to the remants of civilization to reveal his work to the world.

This is the one where Gamera fights a monster with a knife for a head and throwing stars shooting from its temple. I hope this version shows the Gamera gymnastic scene. This one, Gamera Vs Gaos and Gamera Vs Jaiger are my favorites because they threw out believe-ability out the door and concentrated on childish monster fighting.

I have both these movies and Mission to Mars is obviously the better one. It's interesting to see these two placed in a two-pack. Mission to Mars is a reasonably intelligent and moderately-paced adventure tale while Armageddon is a flashy, dazzling, and fast-paced thriller. Admittedly, it's a dumb movie, but that doesn't make it any less enjoyable.

In Monster-A-Go-Go a space capsule returns to earth, crashing off-course. When it is located, the pilot is missing. Meanwhile a giant with bad skin is slowly shambling towards a city and everyone who comes near him drops dead from radiation poisoning. Could the giant really be the astronaut? And will the army remember that it has weapons such as sniper rifles capable of killing people from a distance before the film ends?

The best thing about Monster-A-Go-Go is its title, there is a gratuitous dance club scene, and the monster (played by a real giant) looks great (but you rarely get to see him). The more scientifically advanced viewer will find some amusement in the claim that the monster is becoming increasingly radioactive, causing his radius of danger to increase, when by definition any object which is radioactive becomes less dangerous over time (otherwise it cannot be giving off radiation!!) And there is a phone which does not ring until 7 minutes after it has already been answered (bad soundtrack). But mostly you get dull talky dialogue between people just standing around and detailed narration, most of it dubbed in, all of which put me to sleep more easily than accounting classes. The film is too tedious to watch without fastforwarding through most of it, even for a fan of old monster films like myself who doesn't expect to see gore, death and special fx every few seconds. This gets a very weak 2 star rating.

But you get more than your money's worth with Psyched by the 4D Witch. This is, hands down, THE most insane film ever made, and is almost beyond description (except by giving a detailed blow-by-blow account). It is sort of like a combination of one of Ed Wood's last few films (e.g. One Million AC/DC) and a REALLY intense, bad acid trip. Every few seconds you will ask yourself "WHAT WERE THEY THINKING!" I can't imagine even people going to a theatre completely stoned out of their minds failing to question the sanity of the filmmakers. From the beginning until the very end of the film you will think things cannot get any stranger, but they do! Not one single second of the film has visuals which are not weird or experimental. The acid rock theme song played repeatedly throughout the film is also hilarious and will haunt your brain for the rest of your life. Even during the most serious business meeting a voice singing "Beware of the 4D Witch, Beware!" will suddenly pop into your head. Could this film have been part of some sort of otherworldly psychological warfare program targeting the unsuspecting peoples of Earth? Perhaps! I'm wondering when the invasion will begin.

Why is it disturbing?

Well, there's just some things that seem WRONG when you see them, and to me, one of those things is... King Ghidora, Hero.

Ghidora, in EVERY prior incarnation, has always been the living symbol of evil destruction. He is, in fact, the ONLY one of the great Kaiju (monsters) in Toho's films that I can recall being actively and directly portrayed as evil normally in multiple incarnations. Seeing him as one of the Great Defenders of Japan gives me major cognitive dissonance.

It doesn't help that this is ALSO the first time we see Gojira himself as directly malevolent. Until this point, Gojira/Godzilla has been one of two things: either a pure force of nature, neither hostile nor benevolent, or else a basically peaceable creature who just gets dragged into fights because of its nature and location, possibly even somewhat benevolent on the grand scale of things. In this film, abbreviated by fans as "GMK", he's a walking atomic revenant, a vengeful vehicle of spiritual anger. Creepy.

I won't go into details of the plot -- other reviewers have clearly done that for me. Overall, the visuals are good with some minor glitches. I find the plot a bit stretched in places -- there's a bit more "pull this out of my nether regions" invention than is quite palatable for me, in terms of how we resolve everything. However, it's still a fun watch overall and definitely worth the time for any Kaiju fan.

Shusuke Kaneko is the man behind the recent trilogy of Gamera films that turned the giant turtle from film camp to excellent cinema. He changed the creature's origin to that of myth and gave the movies a great script, close human involvement, amazing special effects (the last entry rivalling standard effects,) and leaving a breath of wonderful imagination over the series. But Kaneko wasn't done. He wanted to make a Godzilla movie.

With "Godzilla-Mothra-King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack," he has brought everything from that Gamera series to Godzilla. The human drama is interesting, the pain of the Japanese people is realistic, the monsters look great... This very well may be one of the best Godzilla movies yet made.

This is one of the movies that ignores all others except the first. Godzilla appeared in 1954, was defeated, and has not been seen since. However, there are those who believe that the monster will reappear, such as the current Japanese Admiral. A submarine has been destroyed off of Japan, and a submersival has discovered it, as well as catching a glimpse of something's spines beneath the water.

The Admiral's daughter, Yuri, is a reporter for a local tabloid TV station. She believes she may have caught on to something real, but her boss won't let her pursue it. Soon, reports of monsters appearing spread over Japan. An old man tells Yuri that they are the Sacred Beasts, guardian monsters who will defend Japan when Godzilla returns... and boy, does he ever return. No longer the spawn of the atomic bomb, Godzilla is now composed of the souls of those who died in the wars of the Pacific, exacting their revenge for being forgotten.

The story is involving and it's nice to care so much about the humans (for a change in these movies.) But that's not all. Because of the mythic background Kaneko has given the Godzilla monsters, they end up having human souls... and human actions. The monsters no longer act like intelligent animals. Baragon (not in the title, but he's here) plans before attacking Godzilla. Mothra does the same, as well as showing compassion for her fellow beasts. And Ghidorah goes from terror to noble warrior. Godzilla is the best of them. His personality is one of malice and vengeance. He doesn't just wander around tearing things apart. He looks to a crowd of people, his back lights up, and... well, you know what happens. This is the most villainous Godzilla has ever been, even topping the original film in that sense.

As for the monsters' looks, they're hit and miss. Godzilla initially looks somewhat fat and awkward, but as he continues, begins to look powerful and even scary. His eyes have lost their pupils and his mouth is adorned with fangs. Baragon looks great and I love how his ears flare out when he roars. It's a shame he's missing his heat ray, but when crawling on all fours he looks better than when he tackled Frankenstein. Mothra is incredible and is the only one of the monsters to remain looking good completely. Alternating between suit and CGI, Mothra flies realistically and is awesome to behold. Ghidorah is on and off, like the first two. At some points, he is very detailed and looks menacing. At others, he looks fake. I was impressed at his wingspan at first, but then it diminished in suit-form and looked fake. You'll have to judge for yourself.

As for sound, everything is clear and the dialogue is funny and touching at times (I use subtitles though.) The sounds of artillary and destruction are great. The monster roars remain as signature, but with some alterations that help exert their new format. Most pleasantly, Ghidorah regains his original chirp (for the most part) after losing it in his last film with Godzilla.

The only problem with the movie is... well, monster time. By getting so wrapped up in what the humans were doing, I didn't notice time going by. The non-Godzilla monsters are slightly unrepresented, and those uninitiated into the series by other films may be confused about them, even though they shouldn't considering that this is a stand-alone project.

In spite of that qualm, this movie is highly entertaining and involving. It tops all the other recent efforts and certainly shows off the magic that Kaneko has brought to the series. It also managed to save the series, considering that the success of this movie in Japan was the deciding factor in whether or not more Godzilla movies would be made for a while. In light of this fact, I hope Toho gives Kaneko the reins of the Godzilla franchise at least once more. He's certainly proven he knows how to make a great movie out of it.
