Its Sci-Fi Friday folks. Came across this beauty on Amazon Prime. I've never heard of it. Split Second (1992) stars Rutgers Hauer and Kim Cattrall. Here is the synopsis:
"In a flooded future London, Detective Harley Stone hunts a serial killer who murdered his partner, and has haunted him ever since. He soon discovers what he is hunting might not be human."
Add to the mix that London is submerged by water due to changing weather caused by global warming.
I’ve had major Blade Runner brain rot recently so I made this short animatic at 3 am and then threw an edit in there. I’m sorry that the movie clips keep changing screen size. I only had access to YouTube clips and they were all inconsistent 💀
Also I mentioned this on my Instagram story earlier, but for anyone not in the loop, I’m currently making a very lengthy blog and video essay for this franchise that will go over lots of info about the movie, book, production, creation, and analyses on the plots, characters, worlds etc. So look out for that ;)
I keep coming back to this shot in Godzilla Minus One because it's basically perfect. As a classic Kaiju scale shot, it honestly can't be beat.
From the perspective of those beneath him, the only thing larger than the monster is the shadow of destruction left in his wake.
Normally the scale shot compares humans and their buildings to the monster, but in this one the monster is dwarfed by its own devastation, and I just think that's beautiful on so many levels.
