Soylent Green (1973)

Opening Statement: I recently saw a movie just a few months ago where a character says 'Soylent Green is People'. So, our movie certainly has made an impression.

The movie of course is mainly a murder mystery, that sort of morphs into a political conspiracy one.

The underlying thread, which I think is only mentioned once...and which has lead to the processing of dead into Soylent Green is the fact that the oceans are now dead.

How long could a world (anyone remember if a population number is mentioned?) how long could society exist on Soylent Green?

Species (1995)

Opening Statement: Absurd movie all the way around.

Interesting starting premise until after the escape of the 14 year old Sil. She was sympathetic till she becomes the adult version.

No real explanation as to why the mate is killed during mating.

No explanation as to why (or how) Sil changes from human looking to alien looking. Nice cast for such a lame movie. Of course it also has the now obligatory hook at the end of the film.

The Day After Tomorrow (2004)

Opening Statement: The effects in 'The Day after Tomorrow' were better than 'Deep Impact' but I thought drama wise, 'Deep' was better.

The whole thing about the temperature drop as it was portrayed was silly, for example.

As with most of the Emmerich disaster flicks (The Day... ID4..Godzilla...2012...) there is usually some humor that runs the risk of derailing the film.
