Latest Interviews & Reviews


Note from the editor: I have included interviews under exclusive if they are private or one-on-one or in person interviews. These were not part of press conference calls or group discussions. These are exclusives that are currently published here at SciFi Vision or as part of one of SciFi Vision's own podcasts, or in some early cases at Media Blvd. Magazine.

I also have chosen to include some interviews from press events that are only open to a select few and not the general press or public, such as convention press rooms and everything from the Syfy Digital Press Tours, set tours, etc. as although they are not entirely exclusive, they do contain exclusive photos and sometimes videos that no other site has (I have started to mark some of these as "Spotlight" as opposed to "Exclusive, but they still remain in this category"), or may be about my own experiences only at the events. Note that in a few specific cases, the set tours were exclusive and specifically for SciFi Vision.

All of the articles unless otherwise noted were written by me, Jamie Ruby, and are copyright © 2017 Sci-Fi Vision. If you would like to post an article on your own site, please let us know first. Please do not use any of the exclusive photos or videos on your own site without permission (it will usually be given). You can find the rest of our published articles, including both interviews and reviews under articles.

Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: An Early Review

Opening in 1957 in Nevada, the first part of the movie surprisingly takes place at an Area 51 hanger where Indiana Jones has been taken by the KGB, led by Irina Spalko, played by Kate Blanchett. The hanger warehouses top secret items, such as the Ark of the Covenant, which makes a “blink and you’ll miss it” appearance.  Under duress Indiana leads them to an alien body, complete with crystal skeleton, from the Roswell crash ten years prior.

"Wanted" Does Not Disappoint

Wanted, which is loosely based on Mark Millar’s comic book series of the same name, takes its audience on an entertaining ride that does not disappoint. The movie opens with the narration and introduction of Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy) as an apathetic doormat, who works a boring office job and ignores the fact that his best friend is sleeping with his girlfriend, coping instead by popping anti-anxiety medication at every turn.  He is seemingly living an unimportant existence until the father that he never knew is killed, setting off a series of events that lead to him leaving his old life to train to become part of a secret society known as the Fraternity that his father had belonged to before he was killed...

The X-Files Sequel Will Make You Believe Again

After ten years (and thirteen days) Mulder and Scully are finally back in the long awaited sequel of the first The X-Files film with The X-Files: I Want to Believe. This installment takes place six years after the season finale.  Being a “monster of the week” type storyline as opposed to a mythology one, it is much different than its predecessor, as it seems to focus more on the horror genre rather than on science fiction.

Twilight Takes a Huge ‘Bite’ of Weekend Profits as it Rules the Box Office

The opening of Twilight, the film adaptation of the first book of the bestselling four-part Twilight saga by Stephenie Meyer, brought in a lot more fans this weekend than anyone expected. Theaters across the country were sold out days in advance, some several weeks, to the midnight and in most cases the following evening showings of the blockbuster movie.  The Summit Entertainment film raked in $70,553,000 opening weekend, much more than the initial projections.   Summit has announced that the sequel, New Moon, is already in the works..

Twilight On DVD

 
After the success of sales of previous releases of Stephanie Meyer’s Twilight saga, everyone knew that the DVD release would be big, but no one suspected how big. Never has a DVD release had so much promotion – midnight parties at most store chains around the globe. Fans spent hours gathered at their favorite stores to play games, win prizes, and talk to other fans as they waited until midnight to own the film adaptation of the first book in the series.  Of course that wasn’t all.  Most stores were stocked with tons of new and previously sold out merchandise as well.

Star Trek Lives Up To The Hype

Star Trek fans around the world waited in anticipation for the new Star Trek installment, released last Friday. Some fans questioned it would live up to the hype.  J.J. Abrams, the director, was admittedly never a Star Trek fan.  He made the movie not with the fans in mind, but rather movie-goers in general.  However, this movie has seemed to unite fans and non-fans across the globe, earning $72.5 million opening weekend.

Stargate Universe Takes You Beyond Your Imagination

The Stargate phenomena first started on film in 1994 and then on television in 1997 with Stargate SG-1, and in 2002 was picked up by Syfy (formally Sci Fi) who made it their own and the series continued for a total of ten seasons, as well as some post series movies. The show focused on a team of a soldier, an astrophysicist, a civilian scientist, and an alien, who used a Stargate to travel to planets outside our own solar system. Towards the end of the original series, the scientists of Stargate discovered a use for the eighth chevron on the gate – to travel to Atlantis in the Pegasus Galaxy. Thus became the spin off of Stargate: Atlantis. For years the ninth Chevron was not mentioned, until now. If activated the ninth chevron could take them far beyond that of the Pegasus Galaxy. Stargate Universe was born.
