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.
