Hollywoods idea of a great story - butcher it totally, completely change the entire point of it. The book wasn't at all like this. The only other I liked was Gattica - the nearest a movie has come to real SF. |

| 334516 | 2008-01-13 01:01:00 | Being a Sci-Fi fan of older films (1950's - 1979) - here are most of the the ones I liked and always remembered: War of The Worlds - Alien Invasion (1953), Invasion of the body snatchers - A near believable creepy film of alien duplicates in a small town USA (1956), Forbidden Planet - Precursor to Star Trek? (1956), The Fly (1958), Return of The Fly (1959), The Hound of the Baskervilles (1959), Mothra - Sci-Fi Monster Moth (1961), Horror of Dracula and the other Dracula Films with Christopher Lee (1958 - 1971), The Time Machine (1960, and 1979 version), Fantastic Voyage - microscopic size scientists travel in a human body (1966), The Bamboo Saucer - A cold war USA-China Sci-fi film (1968), Majin the Monster of Terror - Japanese Monster Sci-Fi film (1968), Planet of the Apes and others (1968 - 1972), The Abominable Dr. Phibes (1971), and Altered States (1980)... |

Not Sci-Fi, which is a hideous media term. SF is basically What If? What if this happened, what would be the consequences. What if this theory/new research/etc developed, what would happen? What if this was possible, what would the results be? Its not Cowboys in Space. Its not Soap Operas in space. Its not mystical semi-religious twaddle in Space. Which is why Gattica was the nearest they have come to it. Thats not to say cowboys in space doesn't make for a good action movie, or semi-mystical religious twaddle gets called Sci-Fi forever after and had some few good effects. But its not proper SF. I could rant for ages, its a pet hate of mine. |
