These 2 films revisit popular classics. First, is the continuation of the original that starred David Bowie, while the second details the challenges in making The Godfather.
The Man Who Fell to Earth Chiwetel Ejiofor plays the visitor from a failing planet who crashes on Earth with a mission to find a brilliant scientist (Naomie Harris) and help save our planet from imminent disaster. Any good sci-fi flick has to offer cool concepts backed by snazzy visuals and this one delivers. Ejiofor is captivating (and sometimes amusing) as he navigates humanity. The concepts are fascinating and the performances are strong, making it a compelling sci-fi adventure with a message. (Review based on 4 of 8 episodes with additional ones released weekly.)
