Eight Australian Films That Prove We Can Do Pretty Great Sci-Fi
'The Infinite Man' is just the latest of a pretty stellar run of Australian sci-fi movies.
Epsilon (1997)
Retitled far less ambiguously as Alien Visitor or Almost Alien for international audiences, this film from legendary Australian director Rolf de Heer follows an intergalactic being in the form of a woman and informing a local that other alien races consider humans to be a failure, having mismanaged Earth to the verge of extinction.
Climate change and other environmental issues are the predominant topics as the two jump through space and time. De Heer handled time travel far less seriously in Dr Plonk (2007), a black and white silent comedy in the tradition of Charlie Chaplin about a scientist who travels to the future.
