 | | 3. Fountain (Blu-ray) new! | | | Starring: Hugh Jackman Rachel Weisz Director: Darren Aronofsky | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 11/10/2009 | User Rating: 5 |  | The Fountain - DVD By: Daniel J. Stasiewski - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/14/2007 1:36 PM | | The film is one that spans a millennium. From the story of a Spanish conquistador (Hugh Jackman) sent to the Mayan territories in search for the Tree of Life to a narrative involving a man (Jackman again) traveling to a nebula in search of the Mayan underworld, the film’s ambitious scale is unbelievable. Yet the romance at the center of it all, a contemporary love story about a research scientist (once again, Jackman) trying to cure cancer to save his dying wife (Rachel Weisz), grounds the film. The combination results in revelations and heartbreaking truths about mankind.

 | | 12. Logans Run | | | Starring: Michael York Jenny Agutter Director: Michael Anderson | | Format: DVD Release Date: 1/29/2008 |  | Logan's Run - DVD Review By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 10/30/2009 11:42 PM | |
Michael Anderson's Logan's Run is the sort of silly, lo-fi science-fiction epic that only had two choices upon its release: Become a cult hit or fade from memory by the time the audience chucked their empty popcorn bags. For some time in 1976, it landed in the former category and was considered by a certain sect to be a classic; sci-fi conventions urged guests to participate in "Runs," reenacting the film's central set-piece. A year later, Star Wars: A New Hope would be released and would usher in a whole new wave of sci-fi with its sprawling, interplanetary alternate reality, and Logan's Run became destined to register as only a minor blip on the scene. read the full review | |

 | | 26. Caprica | | | Starring: Eric Stoltz Esai Morales | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/11/2009 |  | Caprica - DVD Review By: Emily McDonald - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 4/27/2009 3:38 PM | | With Battlestar Galactica officially over and Joss Whedon's newest science fiction drama being merely mediocre, there is a lot of pressure on the SyFy network's upcoming BSG spin-off, Caprica. The show will air in 2010, but the network has put out a teaser film-version of the pilot episode. read the full review | |

 | | 32. Dark City | | | Starring: Kiefer Sutherland Rufus Sewell Director: Alex Proyas | | Format: DVD Release Date: 4/28/2009 |  | Dark City (Director's Cut) - DVD Review By: Dan Schneider - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 5/21/2009 5:02 PM | | Australian filmmaker Alex Proyas’s 1998 film Dark City has been compared to many prior science fiction films, from Metropolis to Blade Runner, but, simply put, it’s better than those films. The comparison to Blade Runner, especially, is inapt, because that film is all style and little substance -- a claim made of Dark City, but, in truth, the film is mostly substance, with style about the edges. Yet, the style is so memorable that viewers and critics have had a hard time realizing it is a film that is original fiction, and not based upon a comic strip, as the urban legend goes. read the full review | |
