This was one of those movies that Alicia and I struggle to figure out if this is a good movie to see or just something to write off as a year Brad Pitt did a few movies. A space drama that plays as sci-fi, relationship and self discovery.
Lost in Space reboot (Netflix)
We took the time the other night and watched the rebooted series "Lost in Space". Netflix rebooted this series and made it into something totally new (with a little references from the old 1965 series). Family dynamics, Girl power in lead roles and an interesting concept to possibly a very interesting series.
It's 30 years in the future and the family has been chosen to start a new life in a space colony. On the way to what they believe will be a better world, the Robinsons' ship is abruptly thrown off course and they are thrown into a dangerous alien environment. Stranded with the Robinsons are unsettlingly charismatic Dr. Smith and inadvertently charming Don West, two outsiders who are thrown together by circumstance and a mutual knack for deception
Downsizing
This movie was a very badly rated film that we felt was an interesting concept. Thinking it was another version of Honey I shrunk the kids, but with a modern twist. We happen to be wrong but this is not what people expected to be so we took the time to check it out. Actually an interesting movie.
When scientists discover how to shrink humans to five inches tall as a solution to overpopulation, Paul (Matt Damon) and his wife Audrey (Kristen Wiig) decide to abandon their stressed lives in order to get small and move to a new downsized community — a choice that triggers life-changing adventures
