Film & TV on DVD
well thought out Sci Fi think pieces. (Gattaca, Day The Earth Stood Still, Solaris etc)
Director Alfonso Cuaron(Yu Tu Mamma Tambien, Potter 4) has great eye and seems to take care to create fully molded characters.
Clive Owen (Croupier, Ill Sleep When Im Dead) has a talent for saying a lot without words, which looks like it works in the context of the film. Julianne Moore is good evenin bad films and here I it looks like a meaty part.
Hope this is as good as it looks. Sounds a little like J Michael Stracyznski's under seen Tv sci fi Jeremiah
