Charlie Jade (2005)
Underrated but brilliant series
This has to be my all time favorite science fiction series. It was slow to get into but a few episodes in you will be happy you stuck with it. The story line is very original and the most of the main characters are interesting. The different verses I think were brilliantly done, I really thought that alpha-verse felt actually very close to the kind of future we may one day face. Definitely should have been worthy of having a second season made but unfortunately this show is way too underrated. The story somewhat gets resolved but there is introduction to another story arc that never gets covered due to the show being canceled but if you like detective or mystery shows and science fiction this is a great series to watch anyway.
Elysium (2013)
A surprisingly brilliant movie!
I was not expecting much from this movie at all, I conceded to go because my husband really wanted to watch it. Whereas I am very pessimistic when it comes to new movies as usually they are unoriginal and unexciting and I hadn't seen a good science fiction in a long while. Though Elysium has a lot of action scenes it is still very much a science fiction film. The vision of the future was very realistic and the grit of the film gave me the feeling that what was happening could really happen. Elysium is a brilliant film, sometimes hard to watch but the fact that it could make me feel so emotional I think is the mark of a well made movie. If you like science fiction or action this is a fantastic movie and I highly recommend it.
Oblivion (2013)
Very slow moving and unoriginal
As a huge fan of science fiction I was so very disappointed by this movie, especially because so many have said it is a good movie. There was very little plot and it was incredibly slow moving so much so that I wanted those 2 hours of my life back. Nothing made up for just how dull and unoriginal this movie is and I love Morgan Freeman's acting. I was not shocked or surprised by anything except how glossy and unrealistic it all looked. The concept might have worked well in its original form as a graphic novel or even a short film but there really wasn't enough there to make it worthy of 2 hours. Do not waste your time, there are so many better and original science fiction movies or even series out that have nothing to do with having big stars or budget but actually contain well thought out plot and characters you care about.
