Fantastic 4 (2015)

I'm not sure about this, but then I wasn't sure about any of the other versions of the FF on celluloid either. In fact, I'm not sure how I feel about the concept as a comic.  As a kid I loved guest appearances of The Human Torch in Spider-man comics and I adored Marvel Two-in-One featuring The Thing, but the Fantastic Four as a family superhero team felt old fashioned even way back when I was in short trousers!  So I'm probably not going to bother to go and see it but I promise to watch it on TV when they stick it on in a couple of years.

In the mean time here are some very nice looking spacesuits (Dimensionsuits?) which do have it going on however I feel about the movie they are featured in.

I'm sure one of you out there will go and give it a look so be sure to come back here and let me know if I'm missing a treat or not.

And as an aside, while having nothing to do with spacemen, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD_k5Y1cpsY is what I'm really looking forwarded to.

Starship Rising (2014)

A starship captain uncovers a government secret that could lead to the galaxy's destruction, and realizes he must rise up and rebel against the invincible planetary federation.

Looks pretty uninspiring stuff so probably best avoided like the plague.

Starship (1984)

Every now and then I'll show you something that isn't a spacesuit but usually only because the costume has been a spacesuit in some previous life.  On this occasion I think this little fellow is pretending to be a robot, although somehow he comes more like Brick from The Middle than Twiki

 

 

Anyway, it's another appearance of one of those ventilation suits that we were looking at last month and a big thank you to Tim for finding me yet another buried treasure.

Cheers mate,
