The new Star Trek film has now been finally relesed and so now is a good time to look back at the Star Trek reboot’s first film and mock the shit out of it, picking apart the film and the plot holes all for our amusement. And lens flares, lots and lots of lens flares. [...]

This is sci-fi done at its best, with CGI used to enhance the story rather than just to look pretty and a narrative that’s both brilliant and terrifying. Meet ABE, he’s a robot with issues. And ABE is a fab character and it follows him after some bad programming gives him too much emotion which [...]
This has all you want from an epic sci-fi short. It’s set in a post-apocalyptic world where all natural life has disappeared and it has a cyborg (gynoid?) Rosa who has to save planet earth and fight for her survival. Hollywood has now come calling, so watch it before it gets ruined.
We’ve all heard of Judge Dredd, well meet Judge William Minty (a minor character from the comic) in this fan made film. Minty has been policing the mean streets of Mega-City One his entire life. And now he wants to slow down a bit, but how will he choose to do this? Will he go [...]
Spock the original, takes on Spock 2.0 as the new and old school go head-to-head to battle it out using speed and their wits. Their vehicle of choice is not the Starship Enterprise or even just any old starship, instead it’s a more terrestrial vehicle in the shape of the Audi S7 (probably with a [...]
OK, keep your eyes peeled because hidden deep inside this lolsome video about that redoes the narrative of Star Wars in modern day Stralia, are a helluva lot of references. Like, for instance, C3PO makes an appearance, as does R2-D2. So get your geek on and see if you can spot them all and if [...]
A guy sits down with his mom who hadn’t seen, or even heard of, the Wachowski’s classic 90s sci-fi film The Matrix to watch it together so that right after she could tell him what it was all about and he could animate that for our amusement. And after watching the video you’ll see that [...]
Yeah, we got scared, like a bunch of pussy-bellied yellow cowards from planet Gutless. And because we got scared we invented stories that we could latch onto and direct our mindless, unconditional belief in. And those stories grew and grew and the more people who believed in them the more they became true until enough [...]

You don’t need a flashy Hollywood budget to make movies, you just need a mouth and a wardrobe you can raid. Then dress yourself up and make all the pew-pew-pew gun sounds and punching sounds with your mouth. And don’t forget some string, string’s always handy to have……and an old Slinky. And don’t think just [...]

Disney buying Star Wars and the announcement of another three films to be produced by them is the perfect fodder for some internet mashups. And this one is particularly awesome, as characters from both the Disney and Star Wars universes get spliced and diced together. Pluto as Chewy is a highlight and makes you long [...]
If you haven’t watched the awesome Biting Elbows video, this is a homage to that but done with everyone’s favorite sci-fi franchise that went off the boil. A Jedi warrior has to defeat 20 Siths to get to the Sith Lord and whoop his ass too. And for good measure, Jar Jar Binks gets shot [...]
Now here’s a great feature length film to get cosy with over the Easter holidays. In the near future an ex-jewel thief gets a gift from his son. That gift is a robot butler who is programmed to look after him and help him anyway he can. But once a jewel thief, always a jewel [...]

You just gotta love nerds and all their nerdy ways – It’d be nice to have a poke around these guy’s prop cupboard, as they seem to have got their hands on a variety of special weapons that have mystical powers beyond any known discipline of science. But you wouldn’t necessarily want to get into [...]

Conspiracies, conspiracies everywhere (even in a galaxy far, far away). If the destruction of the Death Star at the end of A New Hope has always sat a bit fishy in your mind, something about it not quite right, then let this video stir the pot and stoke the flames of conspiracy so that you [...]
In space, no one can hear you scream….with frustration! This must be really hard for poor Ripley, Ash is on his last legs and you need to get some information from him before he becomes a jibbering, frothy mess. But it looks like he’s running a DOS operating system and has decided to go to [...]
It’s Friday and that means you don’t have to do any work all day, because the weekend starts here, so go grab yourself some snacks and sit down to enjoy John Carpenter’s and Dan O’Bannon’s sci-fi comedy from the 70s, later rehashed by O’Bannon for his bug-hunt classic screenplay: Alien. And if your boss asks [...]
Two stunt guys give Star Wars fans a geekgasm by acting out a fight scene with lightsabers with one of them dressed as Vader wearing a GoPro. So, just for a few moments, we can imagine what’s it’s like to be the Supreme Leader of the Dark Lord of the Sith, kicking Jedi ass and [...]

We are, as the BBC’s professor Brian Cox likes to say while gazing wistfully at the camera with some lens flare behind him, made of stardust. But this short film isn’t about you and your stupid stardust body, it’s about the unmanned space vessel Voyager 1 launched in 1977 to explore the cosmos. And it [...]

If you’re a fan of retro sci-fi and your ears miss the synth stylings of a John Carpenter soundtrack, then you’ll enjoy this short sci-fi film that swaps showy CG visuals for old school special effects shot in low light, like split-screen, stop-motion, and miniature photography. So much better than some big budget Hollywood cash [...]
So JJ Abrams is due to direct the new Star Wars movies and he can hopefully redeem it from the horrific lows of the Jar-Jar Binks tainted prequels that left an ugly taste in everyone’s mouths. In this lens flare heavy fan-made trailer, the Star Wars trilogy (the original one) gets made over in the [...]
