“Passengers” (2016 Columbia Pictures), Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen. Available on Amazon Prime and Apple iTunes Store. Also currently available on Starz.
  • This was surprisingly good! It was not at all what we expected. Definitely worth a watch.
“The Martian” (2015 Universal Pictures), Matt Damon, Kristen Wiig, Jeff Daniels, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Sean Bean. Available on Amazon Prime and Apple iTunes Store.
  • Based on the bestselling 2014 novel by Andy Weir, "The Martian" tells the story of astronaut Mark Watney (Matt Damon) who is accidentally left behind on Mars (it’s not his fault; his crew thought he was dead with good reason)! Some people might argue that this isn't "Sci-Fi" but we don't really care.  "The Martian" is one of those films that is "nearly" as good as the book. We classify it as an "AGAB" Learn more here. 
"Star Trek" (2009 Paramount Pictures), Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, Karl Urban, Zoe Saldana, Simon Pegg, John Cho, Anton Yelchin, Bruce Greenwood and Leonard Nimoy.  Available on Amazon Prime and Apple iTunes Store.
  • We love it! We think this is an awesome, amazing way to reintroduce the "Star Trek" world to a new generation! Live long and prosper!  Check out all three J.J. Abrams Star Trek films, AND VOTE FOR YOUR ​FAVORITE KIRK here.​
“Serenity” (2005 Universal Pictures), Nathan Fillion, Gina Torres, Alan Tudyk, Summer Glau, Morena Baccarin, Adam Baldwin, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher and Ron Glass. Available on Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Apple iTunes Store.
  • You CANNOT mention anything about "Serenity" or "Firefly" without listing the entire cast (entire ship's crew) of Serenity! WARNING - STOP! Don't watch this movie unless you've already enjoyed "Firefly". "Serenity" is the cinematic ending to the short-lived, but awesome 2002 TV Series "Firefly".  "Serenity" gave fans an ending, but not "peace".  True fans wanted more, and many were not happy with the film. But we love it! ("Firefly" is available on Hulu, Amazon Prime, and Apple iTunes Store. We recommend you watch all 14 episodes prior to viewing "Serenity").
