Review - I Am Legend, The Host, Sunshine

Sunshine

Watched a few movies this weekend:

The first - I Am Legend. Ugh. I had recently re-read this book and I wish I had left it there and not seen the movie! Why is it Hollywood can’t leave well enough alone? This movie - much like I Robot only shared the title of the novel. Otherwise it was complete garbage. A Hollywood flick that totally missed the point of the book. If you haven’t read it - go visit the library!

Next was The Host. I had been reading Cloverfield stories for the last few weeks and this movie kept popping up. We were in Blockbuster getting a movie for the kids and I grabbed it. It was surprisingly good. I reminded me a lot of a Mystery Science Theater 3000 movie. :) Filmed in Korea it seemed like it was dubbed over. But overall a good, unique ‘monster’ movie.

The final one I watched was Sunshine. I haven’t seen a good science fiction movie in quite awhile but this one blew me away. It had a really unique storyline, a great cast of unknowns, and awesome cinematography. I wish I had seen this one in the theaters… If you like scifi - check it out!
