It has been a very good weekend so that the weekly dose of recommendations in Espinof focuses on 4 surprising science fiction movies that you can see on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max and Disney +. My big goal today has been to choose four titles that will not leave you indifferent.
If you feel like watching a movie other genresI remind you that we have reviews of both great erotic movies available in streaming, another of essential epic cinema, also of excellent fantasy movies on platforms or one of comedies to break out laughing.
In addition, you can always take a look at our reviews of the best Netflix movies of 2022, the best Amazon cinema of this 2022 or the movies of this year that you cannot miss on Disney +. And if you want even more specific recommendations, here is my favorite movie of this 2022 available on Netflix, Amazon, HBO Max and Disney +, let’s go the best of each platform. Without more to add, Let’s talk about today’s chosen ones:
‘Brazil’ (1985)
Address: Terry Gillian. Distribution: Jonathan Pryce, Kim Greist, Michael Palin, Katherine Helmond, Ian Holm, Bob Hoskins, Ian Richardson, Peter Vaughan, Robert De Niro, Jim Broadbent, Barbara Hicks, Charles McKeown, Derrick O’Connor, Kathryn Pogson
The best known of the four selected is this anti-commercial madness by Terry Gilliam that mixes different genres and concepts to pull off a complex and surprising film that can also be frustrating and confusing. What I do have very clear is that those who connect with this unique futuristic story will not find anything comparable to what they will see here.
Review of ‘Brazil’
‘The Infinite’ (‘The Endless’, 2017)
Address: Justin Benson, Aaron Moorehead. Distribution: Aaron Moorhead, Justin Benson, Tate Ellington, Callie Hernandez, James Jordan, Lew Temple
An exhilarating cocktail of sci-fi horror with hints of Lovecraft about two brothers who decide to return to a cult they escaped years ago. Resolved with a lot of inventiveness and not too many means, it is a film that knows how to maintain uncertainty quite well and use it to keep the viewer hooked. It is also true that there are certain details that can upset some viewers, but whoever does not risk does not win.
Review of ‘Infinity’
‘Another Earth’ (‘Another Earth’, 2011)
Address: Mike Cahill. Distribution: Brit Marling, William Mapother, Jordan Baker, Flint Beverage, Robin Taylor, Kumar Pallana
A very stimulating first film that plays with a very powerful concept -the appearance of a duplicate planet Earth- to explore a much smaller and more intimate story of how an unexpected tragedy unites the lives of two strangers. Here it is true that the drama prevails over the science fiction component but hooks with that more emotional side, also knowing the story in a very striking way and squeezing more of its fantastic touch.
‘Sorry to Bother You’ (2018)
Address: BootsRiley. Distribution: Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Steven Yeun, Jermaine Fowler, Armie Hammer, Patton Oswalt, Omari Hardwick, David Cross, Terry Crews, Danny Glover, Michael X. Sommers, Kate Berlant, Robert Longstreet
A brilliant satire on the situation of the labor market, more specifically on that of telephone sales companies, which hooks you first because of its scathingness, to which must be added the courage of its author and how remarkable the interpretations of several of Their protagonists. All in all, there is a script decision that changes everything but that is still an extension of the surrealism that was already present before.
