Macross II The Movie
(more)
»rank: 22449
Our review: :Despite its title, Macross II: The Movie is not a feature but the six-part 1992 OAV without the title sequences. One of several sequels to Superdimensional Fortress Macross (known in the U.S. as a component series of Robotech), Macross II is set 80 years after the initial adventure. For decades, alien invaders have been kept from Earth by holograms of teen-age singers performing pop songs. Then the Marduk, who controls their Zentraedi warriors with the songs of 'emulators,' appear. The nature of the Marduk threat is discovered by brash journalist Hibiki Kanzaki and ace mecha pilot Silvie Gena, who form an ...

Pitch Black (Rated Version)
(more)
»rank: 64345
Our review: :Owing a major debt to Alien and its cinematic spawn, Pitch Black is a guilty pleasure that surpasses expectations. As he did with The Arrival, director David Twohy revitalizes a derivative story, allowing you to forgive its flaws and submit to its visceral thrills. Under casual scrutiny, the plot's logic crumbles like a stale cookie, but it's definitely fun while it lasts. A spaceship crashes on a desert planet scorched under three suns. The mostly doomed survivors include a resourceful captain (Radha Mitchell), a drug-addled cop (Cole Hauser), and a deadly prisoner (Vin Diesel) who quickly escapes. These clashing personalities discover ...

Space Thing (Special Edition)

Our review:Description:Screwball sci-fi with a galaxy of gorgeous gals! It's Buck Rogers for adults as Col. James Granilla, an alien in human disguise, visits the flying saucer of Captain Mother and her all-girl crew in the year 2069. But because Granilla is a 'Planetarian' and all the lovely space nymphs are 'Terranians,' he seeks to learn all about their 'intimate ways.' Though Captain Mother, a sadistic, whip-wielding lesbian, frowns on her gals making it with men, everyone wants to get it on with Granilla. When they land on an asteroid (where they need neither oxygen nor clothes), Granilla and the girls share ...

Roughnecks - The Starship Troopers Chronicles - The Pluto Campaign

»rank: 56904
Our review:Description:Battling seemingly invincible forces primed to take over the universe, 'Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles: The Pluto Campaign' is a state-of-the-art CGI feature length story that features elements of action, humor, coming-of-age, teamwork and fantasy. :Paul Verhoeven's dark, satirical adaptation of Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers seriously strayed from the novel. This Verhoeven-produced TV series--part sequel, part remake, all CGI animated--hews closer to the spirit of the novel, a space-age twist on a World War II battle adventure. Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles--The Pluto Campaign is a mini-platoon epic comprised of the initial five episodes of the series, essentially a series of ...
