Captain of the sky and the world of tomorrow (2004)
We are kicking this science fiction exploration with, properly, a film almost completely marketed with giant robots, Captain of heaven and the world of tomorrow.
It begins with those giant robots that attack in 1939 New York and the story follows Sky Captain, played by Jude Law, since he leads a team of hot shooting in the investigation of the disappearance of a disappeared scientist in the retro-fouture retro world of the film.
It is very stylized, too stylized for the audience of the time, but that is also part of its charm. It also goes a little above with CGI and the use of soft focus lenses, but Captain of heaven and the world of tomorrow It is a fun family action science fiction that comfortably adjusts to a double function on Sunday afternoon with the tastes of the classic Disney efforts such as Swiss Family Robinson.
The Butterfly Effect (2004)
These days, if Ashton Kutcher is remembered at all, it is like a sensationalist personality, but in 2004 it seemed well on the way to becoming a large box office raffle. And his best film is, without a doubt, The effect of the butterfly.
He plays a university student who experiences blackouts during extreme stress periods.
A psychologist recommends that you begin to maintain a detailed diary of your life, to help you deal with your inexplicable memory loss.
Years later, Evan begins to reread his newspapers, hoping to release those old memories that have been hidden from him. It is then that he discovers that in doing so, he can travel over time to the focus points in his life and potentially change them.
The effect of the butterfly He uses the dark history of his main character as a jump point to build an entire life, and does a fantastic job by showing how few changes can have disgusting consequences for you and others.
It is one of the best travel films of the last decades and never receives respect.
The Island (2005)
After its launch in 2005, The island He was shattered, first of all, because it was a Michael Bay movie. And although the film suffers from some of Bay’s usual excesses, it is more restricted and well structured than the transformer style for which it is better known.
Ewan McGregor plays Lincoln Six Echo, who is told that he is one of the few remaining human survivors of some kind of global holocaust.
His best friend is Jordan Two Delta, played by Scarlett Johansson, a woman who cannot play due to strongly applied proximity restrictions.
The island It tells us from the beginning that the naive world of Lincoln Six Echo is an absolute falsehood, the fun is to see it discover it and, later, escape from it. Soon it becomes a wild and energetic persecution film set in the future that is said to be somewhere around 2050.
Enter limited expectations and wait time to see Michael Bay fly things with the melody of a science fiction plot solid enough. When it comes to fun, The island delivery.
V for Vendetta (2006)
V for vendetta It is an idea. A subversive idea, uncompromising, sometimes naive,.
Based on the same comic series written in 1982 by Alan Moore and David Lloyd, V for vendetta It tells the story of an England of the near future directed by an oppressive government and a man, known only as V (Hugo Weving), who intends to destroy it.
The script of the Wachowski brothers is an absolutely faithful adaptation of its source material, modified enough to update it and translate it correctly to the screen.
Hugo Weving is incredible as V, acting under a rigid mask and something silly that completely covers his face, his eyes or anything else he can use to transmit the slightest emotion. However, in some way, V is the most passionate character in the film.
But it is Natalie Portman’s Evey that becomes the true heart of the film. V is an unstoppable force; Evey is a real person, trapped in her mortal rebellion.
V is called himself an idea, and with the fabric of playing it it is a very powerful idea.
La Fuente (2006)
Some films bombard because they are bad, others because they are poorly announced. The source He failed because he flew just over the heads of the audience.
Too intelligent for corn popcorn looking for pleasure search engines, author director Darren Aronofsky He proved to be a love or hate him. Critics praised him as one of the best films of all time or stayed confused and unable to process what they had been watching.
The source Then he opened Thanksgiving in 2006 against the crushing competition such as Casino Royale and Happy Feet. I was sentenced from the beginning.
The film is intentionally obtuse, and part of his genius is that each person who sees it will take away something different.
My interpretation is that it takes place both in the past, the present and in the future at the same time. Follow a man, played by Hugh Jackman, who finds the secret of immortality and proposes to resurrect his wife.
But that is just my interpretation. There are others. You will have yours. Look The source and share it with us.
Knowing (2009)
Knowledge It was not a box office failure, although you would never know it because of the way the film recalled now.
The 2009 film starred Nic Cage as a MIT professor who discovers a mysterious list of numbers buried in a time capsule.
The numbers precisely predict every great disaster in the last 50 years and indicate future catastrophic events. While Koestler runs to stop imminent fatality, discover a deeper, possibly supernatural or alien explanation linked to the destiny of humanity.
He received mixed criticism, and that reaction ended the great career of the successful successful of Alex Proyas, a filmmaker previously announced as a science fiction genius for his work in films such as The crow and Dark city.
Of all his films, Proyas had the greatest control over KnowledgeThat is why his warm reception damaged his career so significantly. His genius shines in the final product, and Knowledge It is much better than it is remembered, which makes it worth conveying if you have not previously given it.
Children of Men (2006)
Just aimed at Harry Potter’s third film, filmmaker Alfonso Curon received praise from criticism for his science fiction film 2006 Children of menBut the film only had very modest box office results and since then it has disappeared from the conversation.
It takes place at the beginning of the 21st century, a time when women have stopped having babies. Basically describes our current and current future if the modern birth rate continues to fall.
As it is now, nobody knows why; They simply stopped. Now it is 2027, science is impotent, governments are in ruins and society has dissolved in a complete anarchy.
The human race suddenly totally infertile will be extinguished in the next sixty or seventy years.
The quarton film takes a depressed and gloomy tone from the beginning. The human race has no hope, and humanity cry through the streets involved in the daily life business knowing that everything will be dust.
Clive Owen plays a man who lives life without hope or direction, just through movements as humanity ends. That changes when it trips with a pregnant woman and ends in the race, trying to protect her while governments and terrorists chase them.
Despite that, Cuaron refuses to let this become a post-apocalyptic repetition of the wanted. On the other hand, the film is more interested in exploring the consequences of a future in which man is realized and, on the contrary, the effect that hope can have on hopelessness.
