Hopefully one of those 3 words grabs your attention when looking for a movie to watch. In the case of Chimera, viewers will encounter all three.

Can the human race can evolve beyond its current physical and mental limitations by utilizing, or... manipulating, science and technology? Is this a domain where mankind should be dabbling even if it's for a noble cause? What are the rules that should be followed and who should be making them when it comes to "playing God" in the name of science? Chimera is a film that plunges the viewer into this realm. A passionate, obsessed, geneticist in an authentic state-of-the art lab is a mission - use his knowledge to create new science to save his children. It had been suggested that this film puts "science" back into "Science Fiction" and that thought is right on target when it comes to this film. Added to that concept is a twisted story revealed by a cast that becomes their characters. The lead is Henry Ian Cusick (that many will recognize from The 100 or perhaps Lost) and viewers will feel his anguish, question his methods, and wonder how far he will go to achieve his vision. It is definitely a film of intriguing characters enmeshed in controversial storyline. I had the opportunity to watch this film at film festival in New York City at a small theater. It was an interesting location for an Indie film of this nature but I look forward to the day when I can watch the film again at home on a big television screen.

Very interesting story line, intriguing editing/flow and enchanting visuals in this short film. Extra bonus: Nostalgic for LOST fans with the cast selection. There is undeniable chemistry between Sonya Walger and Henry Ian Cusick. The cinematography is extremely catchy. Great short to watch for those who are into creative use of color and catchy art and graphics. Shorts give viewers "a piece of something" and Visible accomplishes that goal and left this viewer wanting more of the whole dynamic story with the accompanying captivating visuals and cast. I seriously hope in the future to see it as a full feature film. Visually entertaining and the underlying story is thought provoking. Check it out.

A film that has a story, great acting, fantastic visuals (and sets) with humor sprinkled throughout is my kind of movie. The Martian starts off with an engaging story. As usual, Matt Damon is impressive. The man has a knack for becoming the character he is playing. This movie really is the package deal. There are twists and surprises (that I greatly appreciated) but I did find the scattered humorous lines really make the film engaging. It was great to walk away from viewing a movie and think it was a fantastic way to spend the past two hours. I plan on reading the book it was based on now too. Personally I found this film to be MUCH more interesting than Gravity.
