I found this movie to be thrilling. I think it definitely encompasses the sci-fi genre for sure. The dystopian Sci-Fi elements of this movie are completely intriguing, and they are essentially what the entire movie and story is focused on. I found it interesting how the replicants were almost identical to humans with the exception of their lack of feelings, fixed emotional responses, and absurd amounts of physical strength. This film really focuses on existentialism, or the philosophical belief that everyone is responsible for creating individual meaning in their own lives, and how it pertains to the significance of our lives. I thought it was brilliant to incorporate existentialism into the film as it can really make viewers dive deeper into thinking about what within our lives is worthwhile to kill for or to die for. No matter how many times people watch this film, viewers can always learn something new and look at elements of the message and story form different perspectives. It set...

  I thought “2001: A Space Odyssey” was truly an intriguing masterpiece and totally futuristic for its time. Although sci-fi films aren’t always my favorite, I found this film to be super interesting because it portrayed ideas and depictions regarding humanity traveling through outer space that have still yet to happen to this day. This may be contrary to popular belief, but I feel like not a lot happened within the 2 and half hour movie. At times it was boring, however, the way it explores technological advancements, innovation, evolution, and the possibilities of the world send a clear message that along with technology comes dangers as we see with HAL. HAL might’ve only been a robot, but he was not to be underestimated. He was murderous yet synthetic, manufactured and most importantly man made. This goes to show, technology keeps advancing because humans have continued to develop it. The movie warns against the power and control technology can have over humanity. I agree that th...

I chose to write about   Love, Death, & Robots: Three Robots  in detail. This episode of volume one of the 2022 Emmy nominee sci-fi/horror tv show. Philip Gelatt, the tv show writer, worked alongside John Scalzi who wrote these original stories while Victor Maldonado and Alfredo Torres directed under Blow Studio. This episode portrays three robots entering a post-apocalyptic city for what they consider to be a vacation. They tour the city and sightsee because there are no humans, they seem to take on the role of humans by doing what humans would have done. They embody humans’ personalities and reactions to their findings. Each robot comes from a different line of electronics such as baby monitors. There is the tall human shaped robot (XBOT 4000), a smaller doll like robot, and a wider triangular bot(11-45-G) with a monotone voice like Alexa or Siri. The triangular bot takes selfies with a dead cheerleader and does a cheer with her old pompoms. The smaller bot finds a baske...

I found this silent movie to be very interesting. It moved very quick at times but the variety of motion picture, dramatic music, and fantastic actors allows viewers to think outside of the box due to the lack of words. I have never watched a silent movie before and I was intrigued at how well the actors used their emotions and changed their body language to fully fulfill their roles. It very important to pay close attention and observe, but not always necessarily think too much into every little thing happening because that takes away from the bigger picture of the film. The plot of this movie was intense and eerie, but I think it sends a very important message about social status.  It was futuristic and shows the struggles from class to class as well as the socialist movements and revolutions that occurred. I think it was very clever and ironic for the directors to portray the underground workers as machines who spiritless and losing motivation in life when they ar...
