Greetings, faithful SciFiHistory.Net readers!
Apologies for the lack of MainPage posts these last few days, but the wifey and I enjoyed a few days off locally so that we could both get a few things done as well as squeeze in some meals and merriment. She introduced me to Top Golf, and a good time was had by all! Also watched the John Wick 4 movie, loved it, and caught up on our sleep ... which is always a welcome distraction.
In any event ... back to our regularly scheduled program ...
As I've mentioned before, SciFiHistory.Net has grown considerable over the years. Consequently, I'm occasionally contacted by folks in the media to kinda/sorta 'shuck' and/or promote some of their upcoming productions. Sometimes I'm even offered screeners so that I can do the stewardly thing, watch it, have something relevant to say about it, and -- thusly -- give it an endorsement in some way, shape, or form. I thought that was the case with this project, but as of today's date no screener link or product has been offered. So's all I can do at this juncture is merely pony up the materials supplied in their press release and leave it up to you folks to what with it what you will.
Colonials appears to be releasing April 7th (this upcoming Friday) according to the kind people at IMDB.com, and I'm assuming that's chiefly a digital release as physical media mostly hits the shelves on Tuesdays (weekly). Directly by the team of Andrew Balek and Joe Bland, the feature presentation stars Daniel Roebuck, Sean Kanan, Louise Barnes, Jamie Bernadette, and Greg Kriek. Here's the film's plot summary as provided by IMDB.com:
"A space colonist traveling from Mars crash lands on Earth to save a Resistance stuck in the dark ages from an advance Moon enforcer - and the galaxy from human extinction."
And that, my friends, is all I can tell you personally about the flick. (Well, aside from the details you can read about below, and I do encourage you to read on.) If I learn anything further or am provided a screener, I'll be all too happy to pony up some thoughts as it does look like the kind of thing that draws the eye of the usual suspects 'round these parts.
As always, thanks for reading ... and live long and prosper!
