A Love Letter to 80s Sci-Fi Cinema
15 March 2022
Over the past decade or so, a nostalgia-hungry public has been gifted with a number of retrospective documentaries about 80s genre cinema. While many of these have been quite enjoyable and entertaining in their own right, none of them have had the depth or comprehensiveness that the documentary series from CreatorVC have. Following up on the success of their immensely enjoyable 80s horror retrospective series "In Search of Darkness," the crew, led by director David Weiner, have delivered the DEFINITIVE documentary on 80s sci-fi cinema. Utilizing the same winning format used in the "Darkness" series, "In Search of Tomorrow" highlights some of the most well-known sci-fi films of the decade, such as The Terminator, Aliens, E. T., Back to the Future, and The Empire Strikes Back, while also showcasing some hidden gems that may be unknown to even the most ardent fans of the genre. Another killer synth soundtrack perfectly compliments interviews with some of the biggest contributors to the genre as they discuss both the various films and multiple thought-provoking topics within the genre. The crew at CreatorVC are clearly fans of 80s sci-fi cinema and it shows with their selection of films and their commitment to thoroughly covering the decade over the course of 5 breezy hours. Nothing short of a masterpiece of nostalgia, every single fan of 80s sci-fi owes it to themselves to watch this love letter to the films many of us grew up with or are just discovering for the first time. "In Search of Tomorrow" achieves what so many others only aspire to.
