Surrogates

August 7th 2009 02:43

Surrogates is a Science Fiction film starring Bruce Wills as a police officer in the year 2017. In this futuristic world, humans remain in the safety of their own homes and instead conduct their daily lives through surrogate robots. Surrogates look just like their hosts and when connected to a surrogate, humans will see and feel everything they do. However if a surrogate is involved in an accident, the human will remain unharmed.

This all changes when someone mysteriously starts killing other’s surrogates, and for the first time a host dies when connected to their surrogate.
Agent Greer (Bruce Willis) is a cop whose surrogate cannot feel pain and withstands bullets and car accidents with ease. Greer is assigned to look into the surrogate murders, but during the course of the investigation his own surrogate is destroyed. This forces Greer to bring his human form into the outside world for the first time in many years to continue the search. Now he must not only deal with being vulnerable and feeling pain again, but he uncovers a conspiracy that runs deeper than he ever imagined, and may have dire consequences for anyone connected to a surrogate...

Surrogates will be released in the USA on September 25th, 2009. The Australian release date is October 8th. See the trailer below:

Pandorum

July 31st 2009 12:59

In PANDORUM, Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster join Cam Gigandet, Cung Lenewcomer, Antje Traue, and director Christian Alvart to tell the terrifying story of two crew members stranded on a spacecraft who quickly – and horrifically – realize they are not alone.

Two astronauts awaken in a hyper-sleep chamber aboard a seemingly abandoned spacecraft. It’s pitch black, they are disoriented, and the only sound is a low rumble and creak from the belly of the ship. They can’t remember anything: Who are they? What is their mission?

With Lt. Payton staying behind to guide him via radio transmitter, Cpl. Bower ventures deep into the ship and begins to uncover a terrifying reality. Slowly the spacecraft’s shocking, deadly secrets are revealed…and the astronauts find their own survival is more important than they could ever have imagined.

Pandorum will be released in the USA on September 18th, 2009. The Australian release date is October 8th.

Moon

July 6th 2009 07:38

Moon is a science fiction/thriller film starring Sam Rockwell as a lunar employee and Kevin Spacey as his robot companion.

Sam Bell (Sam Rockwell) is nearing the end of his contract with Lunar. He’s been a faithful employee for 3 long years. His home has been Sarang, a moon base where he has spent his days alone, mining Helium 3. The precious gas holds the key to reversing the Earth’s energy crisis.

Isolated, determined and steadfast, Sam has followed the rulebook obediently and his time on the moon has been enlightening, but uneventful. The solitude has given him time to reflect on the mistakes of his past and work on his raging temper. He does his job mechanically, and spends most of his available time dreaming of his imminent return to Earth, to his wife, young daughter and an early retirement.

But 2 weeks shy of his departure from Sarang, Sam starts seeing things, hearing things and feeling strange. And when a routine extraction goes horribly wrong, he discovers that Lunar have their own plans for replacing him and the new recruit is eerily familiar.

Before he can return to Earth, Sam has to confront himself and the discovery that the life he has created, may not be his own. It’s more than his contract that is set to expire.

Moon will be released on September 3rd, 2009 in Australia. View the trailer below.

Push

June 19th 2009 09:10

Push is a sci-fi action film set in Hong Kong that involves a group of young American expatriates with special abilities, hiding from a clandestine U.S. government agency referred to as "Division." They try to find the only woman that ever escaped from "Division". She is their only key to finding out how to escape the agency.

The abilities are divided into several categories:

Movers can manipulate inanimate objects at varying distances. The actual technique is known as kinetic signature control, where the mover is trained to "hear" and identify the specific atomic frequency of any given material, and alter the gravity wave around it, usually producing the nearby air to appear "warped". Advanced movers can work at the molecular level creating protective shields in the air around them.

Pushers can "push" specific thoughts, memories, and even emotions into their targets. This technique can be used to gain a subject's trust, or to have them perform any action, thinking it was their own agenda.

Watchers are trained to self-induce visions of the future, very much like a prolonged sense of déjà vu. The technique of following the future, either of a person or object, is called subject tracking. A Watcher's skill is primarily rated by how far they can see into the future.

Bleeders have the ability to emit high-pitched sonic vibrations that cause ruptures in a target's blood vessels.

Sniffs are highly developed psychometrics who can track the location of either people or objects over varying distances. Like psychic bloodhounds, their tracking ability is increased if they have tactile access to an object that has been in direct contact with the subject. Sniffs receive information based on images, not specific addresses, which is why identifiable landmarks help increase their effectiveness.

Shifters can temporarily shift patterns of light on any object to create illusions to the naked eye. They work mostly on a touch basis, but once the illusion is established, it remains with the object for short periods of time. For example, a Shifter could momentarily touch a one dollar bill, altering its light pattern to appear as a one hundred dollar bill for hours, until the effect expires. The length of the shift is based on experience and ability.

Wipers are skilled at either temporary or permanent memory erasure, an invaluable asset in espionage. Experience will dictate the accuracy of their wipes, though the danger is always present that they will eliminate a desired memory.

Shadows are trained to block the vision of other clairvoyants such as Sniffs, making any subject within their target radius appear "dark". Experience will enhance the size of the area they can shadow and the intensity of their shielding effect. Shadows need to be awake to perform their ability, and it is common for a detail of two Shadows to operate in shifts while protecting a person or object for extended periods.

Stitchers are psychic surgeons trained to quickly reconstruct cells to their previous or healthy state. Using only their hands, they can heal and even "unheal" whatever they have done. For more detailed work, Stitches use a silver based cream on their hands which acts as a conductor to their ability.

Push will be released in Australia on August 27th. View the trailer below.

District 9

June 15th 2009 08:35

In many alien movies, the extra-terrestrials try to conquer earth either by killing us all or forcing us into slavery. District 9 has a different take on this common theme, where humans become the aggressors exploiting harmless aliens.
The film is set in Johannesburg, South Africa. A very large alien space craft is forced to land on earth. After landing here they are contained in a specific area and forced to live in slum like conditions and work while corporations try to exploit their technology for financial gain. Referred to as non-humans, they are not liked by the general population who see them as a strain on their resources. Meanwhile a non-human civil rights group fight to stop the oppression.

District 9 is produced by Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) and directed by Neill Blomkamp.
It will be released in the USA on August 14th, 2009. The Australian release date is August 13th. See the trailer below:
