Our review:Description:'There is no end to the wacky wonders . . . no fantasies as consistently, inventively, mad . . . wild and wonderful.' -- Asimov’s Science Fiction magazine THE WORLD IS FLAT! (But ably supported by four elephants floating through space on the back of a giant turtle.) The Discworld, that is, as created by Terry Pratchett in his phenomenally popular sci-fi/fantasy books. Pratchett’s cast of wizards and witches, dwarfs, trolls, and giants hail from familiar myths and legends, but in the Discworld they’re a whole lot funnier. Two of Pratchett’s ...

Our review: :A young man who is entranced with video games suddenly finds himself transported into a computer.Genre: Science FictionRating: PGRelease Date: 2-MAR-2004Media Type: DVD :The surprising truth about Disney's 1982 computer-game fantasy is that it's still visually impressive (though technologically quaint by later high-definition standards) and a lot of fun. It's about a computer wizard named Flynn (Jeff Bridges) who is digitally broken down into a data stream by a villainous software pirate (David Warner) and reconstituted into the internal, 3-D graphical world of computers. It is there, in the blazingly ...

Our review: :Neo, Trinity, and Morpheus lead a revolt against the Machines in order to save humanity from extinction.Genre: Science FictionRating: RRelease Date: 14-FEB-2006Media Type: DVD :Considering the lofty expectations that preceded it, The Matrix Reloaded triumphs where most sequels fail. It would be impossible to match the fresh audacity that made The Matrix a global phenomenon in 1999, but in continuing the exploits of rebellious Neo (Keanu Reeves), Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne), and Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) as they struggle to save the human sanctuary of Zion from invading machines, the codirecting Wachowski ...

Star Trek Voyager - The Complete Third Season
(more)
»rank: 1777
Our review: :After proving its long-term potential in season 2, Star Trek: Voyager served up some of the best episodes in its entire seven-year history. The second-season cliffhanger was intelligently resolved in 'Basics, Pt. II,' and the fan-favorite 'Flashback' placed Tuvok (Tim Russ) aboard the U.S.S. Excelsior from Star Trek VI, under the command of Capt. Sulu (Star Trek alumnus George Takei). It was a brilliant example of interseries plotting, just as 'False Profits' was a Ferengi-based sequel to the NextGen episode 'The Price.' The two-part time-travel scenario of 'Future's End' is a ...

Mars Attacks!
(more)
»rank: 2640
Our review: :It's enlightening to view Tim Burton's Mars Attacks! as his twisted satire of the blockbuster film Independence Day, which was released earlier the same year, although the movies were in production simultaneously. Burton's eye-popping, schlock tribute to 1950s UFO movies actually plays better on video than it did in theaters. The idea of invading aliens ray gunning the big-name movie stars in the cast is a cleverly subversive one, and the bulb-headed, funny-sounding animated Martians are pretty nifty, but it all seemed to be spread thin on the big screen. On ...
