Others have posted these already, of course, but as I continue to rationalize my disappointment with Star Trek Into Darkness and find myself less and less enthusiastic about either Guilliermo Del Toro's Pacific Rim or Zack Snyder's Man of Steel, I find myself far more keenly interested in other, far more interesting science fiction cinema coming this year, such as October's Gravity from Alfonso Cuaron, who did the genre quite proud with Children of Men. It could work, though I'm still gritting my teeth at hearing sound in outer space. I'm also intrigued by Europa Report, which apparently is taking The Blair Witch Project into outer space. Coming back down to earth, and even more compelling, is Ari Folman's (Waltz With Bashir) The Congress, an adaptation of Stanislaw Lem's The Futurological Congress, one of my all-time favorite science fiction novels.
