2015 has some really interesting films on the docket. Decided to focus on the 12 Sci-Fi/Fantasy films I'm most anticipating for the rest of the season. If you enjoy mind-bending or wildly creative and imaginative storytelling, that looks to be seriously pushing boundaries of where film has not yet gone before, be sure and give these films a consideration. My top 6 that I will be buying a ticket for, likely opening weekend, ordered by release date, are:
Ex Machina (April 10)Mad Max: Fury Road (May 15)Tomorrowland (May 22)
Inside Out (June 19th)
Crimson Peak (Oct. 16)
The Martian (Nov 25)
These next 6 I would like to see almost as much. The reason why they are second tier is either because they are installments into an ongoing series, or for 'Pixels' and 'Self/Less', I'm not quite as confident in the source material as some of the other above. But I am definitely intrigued. Here they are:
Marvel's 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' (May 1):www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmeOjFno6DoPixels (July 21):www.youtube.com/watch?v=diqZBS-RTAwSelf/Less (July 31):www.youtube.com/watch?v=71fWtJXEI0QThe Man From U.N.C.L.E.

I was able to find a preview link for anyone interested, sans one:

With so many releases, it's hard to keep track of them all. I'm constantly on the lookout for mind benders, or a film that really pushes the envelope in any number of ways. If you find any that aren't on this list, I would really appreciate a shared link in the comments!
