...futuristic, but the new promotional postcards done by comic book artist Eric Tan leave little doubt that this is going to be a hell of a ride for the "where's my jetpack?" set This is the future I want to live in: filled with tiny sqworking robots, luxury starliners that resemble mid-twenties cruiseships, sunbathing on Venus and sleek leisure...

...futuristic television and a spotless workshop where Speeds dad, Pops (John Goodman), makes battery-operated race cars that can defy gravity We were trying to make the film quite timeless, retro and midcentury, but set sometime in the future, says Owen Paterson, the production designer, who had worked with Andy and Larry Wachowski on their...

...futuristic in conception. It is home for droids of every possible variety and so looks like the greatest yard sale or flea market or thrift store in the galaxy. The level of detail is amazing, but more to the point, Lucas's approach to photographing this setting is amazing: he doesn't linger. He doesn't explain. He doesn't provide background,...

Winner of the Looking Closer review contest!

...futuristic earth is hearkening and horrifying, then their creation of what lies outside of earth is just the opposite. When WALLE blasts into space and realizes the vastness beyond earth, we wonder and delight in the beauty with him even though the concept is something weve seen so many times before. Watching Pixar paint the universe with...

...futuristic plantation where designer clothes ate genetically engineered through plants. The story is told through the eyes of Nat, a poor orphan with a cleft pallet. The lead designer dangles "normal looks" in front of Nat to get him to tend to menial duties, but she has something else up her genetically-grown sleeve. Nat is as affecting a...

DVD Review Of Solaris

2007-04-26 13:30:00 by cosmoetica in Unspoken Cinema
 
...futuristic city- seemingly shot in the Far East, which just looks like any metropolitan city of the 1970s, and was dated even upon the films release. Another visual flaw is an early scene on earth where a rainstorm is clearly not occurring, for the raindrops are seen only in the foreground of the screen- there is no realistic visual depth to...

CULT TV FLASHBACK # 37: Space: Above and Beyond (1995-1996)

2007-11-11 14:42:00 by John Kenneth Muir in John Kenneth Muir's Reflections on Film/TV
 
...futuristic war drama colored in hues of moody battleship gray. It takes place in deep space following a devastating sneak attack on humanity by an unfathomable and merciless enemy. Our protagonists in the war effort (which we are "losing badly") are young, attractive (but headstrong and angsty...) pilots. Much of the action occurs inside the...

...futuristic crossbow type weapons. With me so far? Good Anyhow the only hope for mankind is to send some people to New York to rescue the woman who is chock full of eggs to fire her off in a rocket to Alpha Centuri where the Confederacy hopes to start a new world from such an expansive gene pool. To do this they capture Parsifal who is to...

...futuristic novel and on to the big screen. In one of many favorite scenes appears at the start of the film. As seen in the screen caps on the left hand side is a camera shot of Theo Faron (played by Clive Owen) as he had just stepped out of a busy deli from which he had purchased a cup of coffee. The scene is short, and little is spoken other...
