Enemy Mine: SFX Miniatures

Enemy Mine SFX Miniatures
Enemy Mine was a movie that was so ahead of it’s time in so many ways. The story is timeless, the Special effects were great for it’s day and it came from a time when not everything had to be a blockbuster. You just tell a good solid story, you make the viewer care and you are done. This is a movie that stays with you long after you watch it. Could a movie that focuses on just two characters with limited effects even be made today? Probably not and that’s a damn shame.

The special effects that were in the movie looked amazing at the time. Check out some of this movie’s SFX miniatures and a few behind the scenes shots. What a special movie. It is really unique compared to most Science Fiction in that it has such heart and humanity while both characters are so far from home.

The Evolution Of Robots In Movies And TV


This fun video shows off how robots evolved in movies and TV. Nowadays Sci-Fi flicks just aren’t complete unless they feature robots. That’s cool, because we love robots around here. Some of the best movies of all time have robots. The artwork is from Scott Park and Sploid turned his work into a cool video.

Sit back and enjoy the evolution of these synthetic beings. It makes me wonder what kind of robots we will see next.

Star Wars Re-Imagined As Historical Moments

Star Wars Re-Imagined As Historical Moments
Albert Nguyen has reimagined Star Wars, by merging it with history from our own galaxy. He uses historical paintings for inspiration and places Star Wars characters within them. You might recognize Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware, or the historic photo Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima photographed by Joe Rosenthal.

It is a fun series that lets us see these characters in a whole new light. Many of them are made to look like old personal photographs. Also included is Boba Fett in place of Clint Eastwood in The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Never-Before-Seen Back to the Future Poster

Never-Before-Seen Back to the Future Poster
We all know the iconic poster for Back To The Future that shows Marty and Doc with the Delorean, but there was another poster that you may not know about that was almost used instead. This unused poster concept recently came to light after a former employee at Lonsdale Advertising in England found it in their collection.

Now it is headed to auction. This is an awesome poster, but I’m glad they went with the other one. The retro 50s element of the first movie would have been the focus here. It works, but it is not nearly as dramatic.

Alien And Predator LEGO Portraits

Alien And Predator LEGO Portraits
These LEGO portraits of Xenomorphs and Predators are fun yet terrifying. Also awesome. They capture each creature perfectly using only LEGO bricks. These 3D portraits were created by New Zealand-based LEGO enthusiast Grantmasters. Some of you may recognize the Alien portrait, which was inspired by the original cover for the Alien: Weyland-Yutani Report Collectors’ Edition book.

I would hang these on my wall, but I’m not sure they would stay. They are just too scary despite being made of LEGO.

Star Trek: Behind The Scenes Photos Of The U.S.S. Pasteur

Star Trek Behind The Scenes Photos Of The U.S.S. Pasteur
You are going to love this collection of behind the scenes photos of the U.S.S. Pasteur. The photos were originally taken by Greg George. Greg designed and built the miniature on his own, before offering it up for use in the final episode of The Next Generation. Now that is dedication. You can see the quality of his work for yourself. There was never a doubt that they would use it.

There are some shots of the blueprints as well as some work in progress shots. She is a lovely ship despite that round front. The original name for the ship was the U.S.S. Olympic, but it was eventually renamed since it was used as a medical vessel.

Check out the original gallery for more.

Fantasy Movie Posters

Fantasy Movie Posters
Artist Sean Hartter reimagines classic science fiction films and casts them in an alternate universe, creating some amazing and memorable tributes to midcentury B movie graphics. It’s a great big “What if”. I can definitely see these as movie posters from a parallel dimension.

“I’m a total sci-fi geek,” Hartter says. “These posters are based on the idea that they’re from multiple universes, which frees me up to tinker with time frames and poster design.”

That X-Men poster is especially awesome.
