Sci-Fi-London — A–Z of films

Scott wrings out every last drop of suspense from the film.

Sometimes cinema tickles the senses, sometimes it tugs at the heartstrings, sometimes it exercises the intellect – but La Antena transmits to all three at once.

A quest for the human beyond (or at least within) the machine.

Travolta doesn't seem to care what this might do to his fan base.

One of the key plot developments in the film is a process by which you can reverse time and live a day all over again, sadly an option not available to filmgoers yet.

David Twohy [uses] imagination as an alternative energy source.

Soderbergh's use of real time, old time, dream and memory is orchestrated with such delicacy that the meaning of truth dissolves into pure sensation.

Tekkonkinkreet is beautiful, and ably uses its visual appeal in service of an exciting fable.

A classic white-knuckle ride.

This might be familiar fare, but Fumihiko Sori and his team pull it off with sufficient visual aplomb to keep things highly entertaining.
