20th Century Flicks, Bristol

Aeon is a super cool, super lethal assassin plying her much-in-demand trade in a post apocalyptic future. But when she's hired to off an (apparently) totalitarian leader, for the first time in her rigidly controlled existence, she has doubts. Taken from MTV's hugely popular animated series, this big budget movie is perhaps unsurprisingly a soulless affair and, while shortness on plot and script should not necessarily dissuade you from what is basically an action flick, the visuals themselves are find out more...

Aeon Flux is the archetypal action goddess - beautiful, acrobatic and with no conscience, only a mild sense of right and wrong.

ALIEN (1979)

Certification18 Our Rating

Much imitated but never equalled, this is the definitive space nightmare. The crew of a commercial spacecraft are stalked by a stowaway, mutating monster of veracious appetite. Weaver puts in a splendidly believable performance as the resourceful Ripley. Taut script and awesome special FX. find out more...

ALIEN: COVENANT (2016)

Certification15 Our Rating

We're a long way from Alien here as Michael Fassbender does some really strange acting and the story goes off in a ridiculous direction - picking up where Prometheus left off. The premise sees the crew of a colony ship - the Covenant - bound for a remote planet, discover an uncharted paradise, until everything goes a little bible wrong. Then it's all just ludicrous.

ALTERED (2006)

Certification15 Our Rating

The writer and director of Blair Witch takes us down to the woods again but this time the forest is full of extra-terrestrials; green, unfriendly, mind-bending aliens that like nothing more than abducting unsuspecting locals and performing hideous experiments on them... until four men decide to take revenge. While much more mainstream than his first feature, Altered is destined to sink without a trace. There are some high points - lots of gooey gore and unraveling intestines to be more precise - find out more...

ARCHIVE (2020)

2038: George Almore is working on a true human-equivalent AI. His latest prototype is almost ready. This sensitive phase is also the riskiest. Especially as he has a goal that must be hidden at all costs. As a sci-fi fan, I found this admittedly derivative film extremely enjoyable. It is stylishly shot, directed and acted with aplomb by the attractive and enigmatic leads of Theo James and Stacy Martin. Indeed, the latter is well cast in her role who is both ambiguous, childlike and yet empath find out more...

But the "package" is a mysterious young woman with a secret that may be the answer to humanity's survival and everyone wants her.

BATTLE: LOS ANGELES (2010)

Certification12 Our Rating

Aliens have invaded Earth and they�ve understandably decided to focus a substantial amount of their fire power on the home of Hollywood. As America burns it�s left to a rag tag group of Marines to pull out survivors, and generally save the day, in-between dying pretty God damn heroically. OK so Battle: Los Angeles is generic to a tee and some of the dialogue is excruciating, but this is a crackingly relentless action movie, and if it wasn�t as preposterous as it is, it probably wouldn�t be as mu find out more...
