It's life Jim but not as we know it
I saw this at the cinema and must admit it wasn't what I expected. More of a thinking persons Sci-fi film. It has some interesting ideas and Amy Adams is brilliant. However I think it's one a lot of people might not understand. One that will divide opinion.

Want was an incredible start to what seems will be an incredible duo logy,and if the second book’s anything like the first one,I will enjoy it tremendously. If you enjoy sci-fi at all, books with heists and slow-burn romances, definitely give Want a go
Critic- Bookshelves and Paperbacks
Original Score: 4 out of 5

Brilliant
This was a recommendation from a work colleague and I cannot thank him more, as this was my favourite read of 2016. Brilliantly written, with a fantastic and engrossing story with a sci-fi-esque spin. I couldn't put this down. It moves seamlessly from a drama to an action/spy novel and Harry is a loveable protaganist. My only negative would be that I didn't want it to end!

Amazing SFX (0 more)
An action packed Sci-Fi blockbuster
Another SFX master piece from James Cameron who also did @Avatar (2009) Thankfully the film isn't entirely about the amazing visuals. The story is good and the action scenes are very good. Maybe not the most original plot but the fun and excitement it brings more than makes up for it. Definitely one to catch on the big screen.

Don't watch this is you have a daughter!
Really enjoyable film although a little slow at the start. It's definitely not an action packed take on the genre but that adds to its charm. Some cracking performances given and an interesting commentary on the world's political stance which was unexpected.

Decent Sci-Fi Thriller
I remember this seem to go under the radar on release, I think it only had a short run at the cinema. Some kids take up a science project and manage to come up with a time travel device... But things don't go well when you mess with time! The SFX are quite good for the budget. I really enjoyed it and would watch again.

Excellent collection of varying stories. (0 more)
Excellent early stories from the Triffid author
Excellent collection of early short stories from Wyndham that delve into different sci-fi genres. Though it was written in 1930 through to 1938 they are still suprisingly fresh and interesting.
They are a powerhouse of excellent literature and is a great introduction to his later novels such as Day of the Triffids, The Midwich Cuckoos and Chocky.

Badass sci-fi and the power of friendship
So almost everyone has a computer in their heads, and a new drug hits the streets that could take down the entire infrastructure to this online world. Who are you going to trust when some unknown force is trying to get in your head, kill you and your friends?
Bluescreen is an engaging look into the town of Mirador, and what’s destroying it.
