WATCH NOW Much science fiction has been produced about people going to outer space to search for inner truths but none like James Gray’s “Ad Astra.” It deals with complex themes and has breathtaking visuals. If you were looking for an action packed adventure, then “Ad Astra” does not deliver that. Rather, it is a
WATCH NOW There is certainly a lot to unpack with the summer of science fiction films this year. “District 9” and “Star Trek” were great for their own reasons and managed to please the audience.

WATCH NOW Moon, an intelligent science fiction drama, was released in 2009 by director Duncan Jones. Moon shatters multiple conventions and ideas people commonly associate with science fiction by depicting life in space in a more grounded manner. The movie features award-winning actor Sam Rockwell who delivers an imaginative performance that redefinies the One Man
WATCH NOW At its center “The Martian” a Ridley Scott film featuring an astronaut ingeniously staying alive on a barren planet, is a classic story of a shipwreck, which just happens to take place in the form of a science fiction adventure. But while the overview is predictable, it’s the specifics and the mood that
