Among the movies comming out this week we have two great Sci-Fi movies. ‘I Am Number Four’ and ‘Vanishing on 7th Street’ both make their debut in theaters in US on the 18th. ‘Vanishing on 7th Street’ Starring: Hayden Christensen (Jumper, The Cold), Thandie Newton (2012, For Colored Girls) and John Leguizamo (Ice Age: Continental Drift) and ‘I Am Number Four’  The story, based on the book by Pittacus Lore, centres around a young man called John Smith who is actually an alien trying to avoid assassination.

‘Vanishing on 7th Street’ Ambiguity and being able to continuously leave viewers guessing about the cause of disasters may not sound appealing to all movie audiences, but if done effectively, is a valuable way to keep thriller fans interested in a storyline. The new Herrick Entertainment post-apocalyptic thriller ‘Vanishing On 7th Street,’ starring Hayden Christensen, Thandie Newton and John Leguizamo, achieves director Brad Anderson’s goal of leaving its audience guessing if the end of the world has really come. Viewers will also be entertained as they are left wondering what the explanation for the world’s recent downfall is.

The Movie has a small cast and therefore, the focus of the movie on the new, uncomplicated relationships between Luke and the other survivors, viewers will understand what the characters are feeling. Newton perfectly summed up Anderson’s understanding of people and how they behave by saying “He approaches the work as if he’s doing field research or ethnography. He’s fascinated by the dynamic between the characters.”

For all of us Sci-Fi fans, we have been waiting to for something worthwhile to be released for a while since Inception. Now we can enjoy a night out at the movies, wait no longer.  Both look promising and offer excitement, suspense, action and of course, science fiction.
