Interesting concept, well executed, definitely worth the
time. I am also thinking a little
weed and or some psychedelics would have made it even better, it gets a bit
trippy at times.

Wasn't interested in this at all, thought it was going to be a
cheap horror movie, but it was much better than I anticipated. If you love Sci-fi and a few freaky twists
it is worth the watch.

A movie I had wanted to see for a long time. I am a big Charlie Hunnam fan, he is one
bad ass Samcrow. Also a big Idris fan,
so take him and Charlie mix them in with some big ass robots and monsters and
you have yourself a movie. I also adore Rinko Kikuchi, she is beyond
beautiful, so that makes it a watch all on its own.

David Cronenberg's first of three movies on this list and by far
the one I liked the least. Maybe it is
personal preference but I like my BDSM movies and my Sci-fi movies
separate. My main take away from this
movie really was the BDSM, I couldn't make that up, and while I am not a huge
fan of it in real life, I am certainly not a fan of it in a movie. I think this entire movie was a Hollywood
rated R snuff want-a-be. Now don't get
me wrong the ideas portrayed in the movies and the real main theme is 1)
scary as hell, and 2) pretty bad ass.
Also, I felt like I watching a b movie the entire time. It was old and dirty and really didn't age
well.

David Cronenberg's 2nd movie I watched, actually on the same day
all be it with something in between was a much better experience for me. It was also shot almost 20 years later so
it definitely aged better. The plot
was also a lot cooler like the matrix meets Ready Player One with a young
Jude Law as our hero. He plays well
with Jennifer Jason Leigh and I approve of there tag team. The movie is messy, not like shot messy,
there is just a lot of gore, goop, and grossness. I like the story, it kept me interested all
the way through. I found it over all
very entertaining.

I know this is probably blasphemy but this is a take it or leave
it for me b/c I just can't recommend in good conscious. The movie was boring to me, which doesn't
mean I hated it, I just wouldn't watch it again. I love the moral struggles of the movie. I understand the hero's journey. I really like Heuy, Dewey, and Louie. It might be the only time in a movie I have
seen that I actually like Bruce Dern's character. Notice I don't say acting, the man can act,
but I have never loved the people he has played. I haven't seen Nebraska or the Burbs and
all right it might just be because he terrified in Into the Badlands who
knows. From a pure Sci-fi point of
view I say Watch b/c it is a good Sci-fi movie from if one of my friends
actually takes my recommendation and you don't fully love Sci-fi I don't want
to hear about how nothing happened.

I love this movie and there is still hope for me. Animated movie about dreams and being in
other peoples dreams very cool. I am
really considering moving this up to a must watch because I like it that
much.

There is nothing like a classic.
Wow, I really liked this movie.
Much better in my opinion than the Tom Cruise version. Good effects for an old school film. I would definitely watch this one again.

32 years late to the party.
When it first came out I was a huge fan of the Rowdy Scot but I was
scared of skeleton looking creatures.
The world has changed a lot for me since I was 12. I liked the movie. I like the message about greed and
consumerism. Is Hot Rod the best actor
ever, no, but was the fight between him and Keith David epic, hell yes, worth
the price of admission if you will.

Another classic that I think stands the test of time. Nothing really like the HBO show which the
first season was fucking epic in my mind. Other than the whole robots go
crazy and kill park visitors things.
However, both have their own unique qualities that make them very
likeable. I think I prefer the movie
though but I am not married to that just yet.

Wow… time travel paradox be damned. This movie kept me reeled in from start to

I am not a Jeff Bridges fan. I think he scared me in The Vanishing and
kept me looking over my shoulder after watching it. Then again, it could have been Tron that
made me not like him. I want to be a
huge fan of Tron but I am not. I did
love Bridges as the Dude and I think that is still one of the best movies I
have ever scene. Starman well Starman
I liked. It is the adult version of
ET. Bridges performance is incredible,
truly one of the ages. Karen Allen is always a pleasure to see in a movie was
pretty good too. It was a fun movie,
well done, and belongs on the classic list.
Although there is no doubt in my mind Colombia pictures screwed up
when they chose to make this Alien movie over that other one.

SUBTITLES!!!!! What? SUBTITLES!!!! That isn't really what I think
about when I think about Time Crimes but there are subtitles to deal with for
this one. If you are ok with that this
is actually an interesting film. Well
made, hot girl, good plot, perhaps a paradox or two. As my main man Farnsworth once said "I
know a paradox when I see one."
LOL... Get over it, read the
subtitles it is worth it. It might just bend your mind a little.

Oh, I want to love this one.
I do appreciate it. I think it
is really, really well done. It is
long though. Oh and what did I say above SUBTITLES! 2 hours and 45 minutes of them. It was a lot to get through in my
opinion. All these are one man's opinion
who is on a serious Sci-fi bender, I am pretty sure I am into the 90's now of
Sci-fi movies watched since the world went to shit. This one is worth
watching if you are into Sci-fi if you are just looking for a good movie to
pass a few hours I'd recommend something else....

I actually quiet enjoyed this movie. Perfect end of the week Friday night
movie. To through on and lose yourself
in for a few hours. I think this is
only the 3rd Kate Capshaw movie I have seen so that was fun. Denis Quad played a nice hero and good to
see him go up against Captain Von Trapp and Sully from Commando. The graphics are aged but who cares it was
a fun movie.

Well here is my second time committing blasphemy on this
list. I found this movie visually
amazing. I found the story ok but I
think it was the longest hour of my life.
Maybe it is because I watched it back to back with Stalker, I don't
know. I was tired of reading by that,
or ready to go outside on a Saturday afternoon, but I just wouldn't really
recommend this movie, unless I did it to the new Sci-fi group I joined on
face book. I think they would appreciate
it. I think my day to day readers wouldn't.

David Cronenberg's 3rd
movie on this list was my favorite by him that I have seen so far. I have a few more I want to see, but
Scanners was legit. I spent most of my
life being terrified of the VHS cover.
I remember seeing it in a video store in the 80's and telling myself I
will never ever know what that movie is about. Then the world moved on and I realized it
wasn't a horror movie. So I watched it
and I really liked it. It held up in
my opinion through the years. Always
good to see Michael Ironside in a movie.
I love me some Ham Tyler.

Probably the third blasphemy on this list. I couldn't make it through this. I tried but I was bored to tears. I find it super interesting that the
co-writer on this would use this movie as inspiration to write one of truly
great Sci-fi movies of all time Alien.

I kept thinking I must be watching a Tarantino movie with all
the gushing blood in this movie. I
mean there is blood every where in it.
I found the plot compelling and original. The characters kicked ass and were a bit
cheezie at the same time. Michael
Ironside played the villain, so you can't go wrong there. It was a good watch and understand why it
gets such high marks on Rotten Tomatoes.
