You don’t need snow to make winter

Before I start it’s best to mention that this is not a post about weather or  the current financial crisis. Now let’s begin and explain what made me write the title above: I’ve seen this weekend a very good Science Fiction movie, a movie that doesn’t rely on special effects, big cast and budget to make you enjoy it and recommend it to friends. The movie is called Time Crimes (Los Cronocrimenes) and it’s a very limited budget Spanish movie.

I’m a really big fan of SF movies and I always look for new ideas, that make my mind dream, but unfortunately the past years thing got nasty in Hollywood and movies become worse day by day (that or I’m getting too old for the same turnovers and happy endings you see in movies today).

That’s why I really appreciate movies by their ideas, not special effects or blockbuster characteristics (except Dark Knight this year, which was a really good movies). Time Crimes is one such extrordinary movie, that managed to pun on film a very interesting idea about time travel and its negative effects . I’m not gonna tell you more, but I highly recommend the movie. And if you’re passionate about low bugdet SF time travel movies I also recommend Primer.
