SF at the Movies - March '10

OK so there's basically nothing, really I mean no real 'pure' Sci-Fi movies this month...at all. We've got a stack of supernaturally scary stuff like Shutter Island and Legion. But no robots or aliens to be seen. Our one saving grace is coming in at the last possible second and looks like an excellent exploration of the superhero genre by one if it's most popular scribes.

Kick-Ass
Released 31/03/10












This film centres around a teenager who dons a superhero costume asking the question 'why has no one done this before?' Lacking any powers or gadgets he simply is willing to take the fight to the bad guys and soon finds other young vigilantes willing to follow the call. Making up for all the times when people wish they could stop something bad but couldn't they determine to do something and... well I guess we'll just have to watch the film to see what happens, I'm definitely there.
