I will grow through the list;

Oblivion (April 12; Joseph Kosinski)

I will reserve judgment until I know more.

Star Trek into Darkness (May 17; J. J. Abrams)

First one was complete shit. No reason to believe the sequel will be any different. Will avoid like the plague.

After Earth (June 5; M. Night Shyamalan)

Never liked any of Shyamalan's movies, even "The Sixth Sense". Probably going to be awful, and will assume so unless I hear differently.

World War Z (June 21; Marc Forster)

The book was fucking stupid, and the film adaptation is just a cheap cash-in on the zombie craze. Avoid this garbage..

Pacific Rim (July 12; Guillermo del Toro)

I will reverse judgment until I know more.

Elysium (August 9; Neill Blomkamp)

I will reverse judgment until I know more. (Didn't watch District 9, either)

Gravity (October 4; Alfonso Cuarón)

I will reserve judgment until I know more.

Ender’s Game (November 1; Gavin Hood)

One of my favorite science fiction books ever. I have doubts about the adaptation, however, and the director's list of pictures only further deepens my skepticism.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (November 22; Francis Lawrence)

A shitty series of books plagiarized from "Battle Royale". Will skip this trash, like I did the original.

RoboCop (February 7; José Padilha)

Unnecessary re-make of a film that is very much a science fiction work of its time. (1987) If you like good movies, and want to be a responsible consumer, avoid this like the plague.

The Europa Report (TBA; Sebastían Cordero)[/list]

I will reserve judgment until I know more.
