OUTATIME

Bonus points for any of you who can say the make and model of the car that license plate is found on in the movies.

Today ran away from me. Busy at work. But I wanted to take a sec and blog about the movie I watched last night: Children of Men. If any of you are looking for a fantastic sci-fi film that takes its sci-fi seriously, look no further. Of course, if you have issues with brutal dystopian societies rife with violence and profanity, then maybe you ought to look further. Still, the film is superb, and I can't believe it took me this long to get around to it. It was so much more real than most of the sci-fi flicks you see these days. It really focused on "what if," then took that "what if" scenario to the extreme, exploring the implications of a situation and then presenting a fully fleshed out world based on those implications. Fantabulous.

How about you? What are some of your favorite realistic sci-fi movies. None of this Star Wars/Star Trek stuff. Gritty. Real. Do tell--I'd like to see how many I've seen, and if I'm missing out on any.
