Ridley Scott is back on space fiction! Hooray, comrades! Or... no cheers? After all, if you look at the comments of the fans of Interstellar, it seems that from their point of view science, logic and common sense in The Martian is far worse represented than in Prometheus or Interstellar. Is it true? Let's find out...

Diverting your wait for the big review, we will look at Clint Eastwood's movie "American Sniper". Warning - politic themes!

Snipers again. Steven "man-pistol-bazooka-sniper-rifle" Hunter again. Was the second screen adaptation of his work better than the first? Is it even possible to make an adaptation that would suit the author? Let's find out right now...

Diverting your wait for the big review, we will analyze the series "The Man in the High Castle" and the book of the same name by Philip Dick.

Westerners are calling The Force Awakens almost as a saviour of the franchise. Best thing that happened with it in the last more than thirty years. Abrams raised to the status of Messiah, who "revived" that supposedly was "ditched" by the сreator of "Star Wars" himself, George Lucas. They're screaming about awesome script, great characters, the best villain after Darth Vader and... other horseshit that has nothing to do with reality. Well, from my point of view. And this view I shall try to uncover right now. I already anticipate outrage cries like "how can he looking for logic hare and mention science — it's a fairy tale!!!111oneoneone". And I laugh. First, it is not a fairy tale, it is a space opera. Or epic high fantasy a La Lord of the Rings, only in a futuristic decorations. And secondly, I have explained many times, what the fantasy differs from fantasyA (yes, the accent on the last syllable). So let's start...

Diverting your wait for the big review, we will look at one of the most notorious premieres of 2015, the movie for which Leonardo DiCaprio finally won his "Oscar" - "The Revenant".

There are always foreigners who think they know more about your country than you do, and are very offended when their place is pointed out to them. Especially when your country is Russia, the successor of the USSR. Well, the one that everyone tried to shit all over. One such foreigner is a resident of the United Kingdom, Tom Rob Smith, who has a very large and very sick imagination. In such "creative" convulsions a bastard called "Child 44" was born... which was made into a movie... That's what we're going to look at today. Be forewarned, the relevant topics will be raised. If anyone does not like political issues, historical truth and hates the Soviet Union, I suggest you refrain from watching this video. To comrades who think that I will suddenly start justifying lies and smearing the Soviet Union, I say at once: the drug dispensary is on the other side.

Diverting your wait for the big review, we will review cherished SF classic -- Predator!

For six years now, the series has been going somewhere. I don't know where it's going. Six years of mutating into something. It's unclear what. For six years, it's been getting a reaction. But each year is different. So what will season six bring us?

Diverting your wait for the big review, we will review the cult horror classic - film "The Thing", its eponymous prequel of 2011, and the warm lighting vintage from 1951.

"Avatar" is one of the biggest films of the early twenty-first century, which at the time of its release caused people to fall out of their eyes and burst their brains at the same time. Only in a good way, of course. And, of course, it was considered almost the most perfect and flawless science fiction ever... At least until Interstellar. At most, it was considered a "plagiarism" of Disney's "Pocahontas". At one time I turned an entire forum against myself by saying that "Terminator", which came out the same year, wasn't that bad, but "Avatar" wasn't that good. No one wanted to hear any arguments, and the ones that did get through the mental barriers were perceived, understandably, through the same place. Had my opinion changed over the years? Let's find out...

To brighten your anticipation for the big review, we take a look at the sequel to the sci-fi action movie classic, Predator 2.

Warcraft has one of the most famous, brightest and most elaborated universes. Almost all games about it have the status of cult, and among absolutely different types of audiences. Well, because some of the stories from that just begs to be adapted, rumors about the possible film adaptation have been circulating for many, many years. But now it has happened. And despite the fact that the movie failed in its home market, many people remained very excited about it. Especially the Chinese. So who is right - the one who scolds it, or the one who praises it? How accurately did the adaptation convey the original? And most importantly, how does it hold up on its own? Let's find out right now...
