So there are still a few sci-fi films yet to be released this year and here is a partial list,

1. Total Recall - I'll be seeing this opening weekend.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1386703/

2. Looper - I'll be seeing this as well.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1276104/

3. The Watch - I'll wait for the dvd but it does seem pretty funny

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1298649/

4. Dredd - No thanks

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1343727/

5. Cloud Atlas - Don't know much about this one but it looks interesting

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1371111/

Did not know about the 2nd movie, "Looper", thanks for the heads up.

It's not Sci-Fi...but I cannot wait for "The Hobbit" to come out in mid-December.

I have a hunch that total recall will be a disappointment, and start out interesting only to devolve into a Bunch of drawn out chase scenes and the inevitable 3rd act betrayal. In other words, an unimaginative formula flick that is ripping off blade runner for its style.

I'm a big Cinebistro fan as well. I've recently been there for both "Prometheus" and "The Avengers".

Don't forget Iron Sky, which is finally getting a US release...although you may have to wait for the Blu-ray, given the film's lackluster distribution.

I'm looking forward to the 2013 release of Gravity, directed by Alfonso Cuarn (Children of Men).

What is red, furry and on your six?

2013 is shaping up to be a good year for sci-fi as well. Riddick, Star Trek, Ender's Game and After Earth will be out that year.
