PROXIMA
116 minutes Foreign / Sci-Fi & Fantasy / Special Interest
The last Sci-Fi movie.
Intended Audience: Mature
A renowned SF writer is at a local convention to talk about his work. As he takes the podium he renounces his work as utter fictional rubbish and declares that he has found a portal to another world, orbiting the star PROXIMA. "Simply listen to my new book-on-CD and be delivered", he proclaims. Unsurprisingly, this bizarre announcement is not well received by his fans. But Tony, the owner of a specialist DVD and video store is attending the conference, and being an open-minded dreamer buys the disc to try it out.
Are the strange visions he starts to experience real? Have a selected group of humans really found a shortcut to the star PROXIMA? Could there really exist a conspiracy on Earth to aid an invasion by an alien fleet? And is the super-strong armour he's made to wear really "invisible" or is he simply an emperor parading round in new underpants?
