Tears of Steel

This short sci-fi film was crowd-funded by users of the open source 3D creation tool Blender. What that means is that they created the visual effects in this film using a free piece of software. Pretty impressive, huh? And it could mean no more torrenting pirated software that unleashes nasty viruses.

Speedrun: Bladerunner in 60 seconds

When you get the director’s cut of a movie, it’s often longer than the original as the director inserts missing scenes that got left on the cutting room floor. So count this as a kind of anti-director’s cut where the movie is condensed into only one minute, which means it all happens so fast your [...]

Doctor Who 10 meets Doctor Who 11

HOLY……. SHIT!!!! Matt Smith & David Tennant, the two greatest doctors ever, together! It’s a wonder the universe doesn’t open up and swallow the world whole with this kind of nerdmic energy contained within one room. But fortunately it lets us all live, probably knowing that if it fucked with the time lords they’d come [...]

ABE

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 [...]

Zachary Quinto vs. Leonard Nimoy: “The Challenge”

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 [...]

Aussie Star Wars – Episode IV: A New Bloke

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 [...]
