Although it's not technically an independent film Danny Boyle will unveil his sci-fi flick to North American audiences this weekend. No, the film is not a cinematic epiphany, however, if you're sick of your friends dragging you to Hollywood's noisy garbage this would be a good counter.

The film is exquisitely shot and scored (By Underworld no less) and the story boasts more intelligence and emotion then all the franchise films combined.

It seems to me that films like this generally get swept under the rug due to either the summer blockbuster rat-race or the awards season pretensions.

This film is not going to be a blockbuster and it's not going home with Oscar gold. But this is a well-crafted, innovative film that's deserving a look. So take your friends to see something different this weekend.

BTW: You can read an interview with Danny Boyle by a dashing young journalist here.
