Chrysalis (2008) Sci-Fi marathon

Chrysalis (2008) - In a future earth the government is collapsing as the environment has gotten so bad nothing grows. A group of scientists work to modify plants to grow in the new world. On of them, Smith (Glen Vaughan) falls sick and a Chrysalis forms over his body. As he is transformed scientist argue over should he be killed with Hartley (John Klemantaski) saying he should because you do not know what he is being transformed into. Rockwell (Darren Kendrick) saying they should let him develop and possibly the evolution that saves the human race.
What I liked: It ended
What didn't work: Everything! It was a story in a small space, it had poor acting, it sucked eggs and did not really have very good arguments either way. Just boring and plodding all the way through.

It Came From Outer Space (1953) in 3-DSci-fi marathon

It Came From Outer Space (1953) - This is a classic and in the Red and Green 3D it was just wonderful. A meteor crashes near an old mine and soon people are acting strangely and disappearing. It is a spaceship. The Sheriff in town eventually does something and a couple John Putnam (Richard Carlson) and Ellen Fields (Barbara Rush) keep the climax from becoming horribly violent by entering the spaceship.
What I liked: One of the great Sci-fi classics of all time. The 3D was very good, I first saw this movie flat and never noticed it had 3d framing but you could not miss it in this print and boy it really worked.
What doesn't work so good: Well it is choppy and the acting is not great.
