Science Fiction

If one of the most important roles of science fiction is that it makes unfamiliar ideas emotionally legible, what are the ideas that we need to be reading about right now?

Like we already learned with the extensive Marvel Cinematic Universe of too many movies, maybe there's too many Star Wars movies already deterring this new one from feeling interesting and fresh.

"Project Hail Mary" is a lighthearted, endearing, adventure film with a few moments of comedy from Ryan Gosling. He’s a reluctant hero with a casually clumsy attitude.

During the 93 minute run-time of watching "In the Blink of an Eye" on my couch at home, a cardinal sin swept over my mind. I wanted to check my phone…and I never look at my phone while watching a film.

We talk with USU alum Peter McChesney about his new book "Quinto’s Challenge," which poses the question: What if science and religion collided and resurrection became a present reality?

"Tron: Ares" is a visual triumph and has some great moments of emotional depth to keep everyone watching.

I walked away from "Mickey 17" thinking it was just okay. The irreverent, coarse vibe is successfully funny in some moments, but it tries too hard in other moments, making some of the actors' line readings feel forced or boring.

I started this film with an open mind hoping it would be fun. I don't enjoy hate-watching anything. But Uglies falls short in so many ways, I can never recommend this to anyone.

I'm happy to say, overall, Alien: Romulus is not terrible. It's just okay.

Atlas tries to be a treacherous fight for survival and a perceptive social commentary on the dangers of artificial intelligence. But it succeeds at neither because the writing is so vapid, uninteresting, and immature.
