The Movies That Confronted the Scariest Challenges of Space Travel
2y 1mon ago in scifi@kbin.social from www.denofgeek.comIt was much better than the critics at the time would admit.
Forget the critics, Asa Butterfield did what he could but they didn't fully explore the crushing loneliness that Ender felt as a third and ignored the emotional weight that he carried as a result of the Xenocide.
The movie torched the emotional arcs and beats of the book so badly, I don't see it happening now.

What's your Sci-Fi unpopular opinion? Part II
2y 1mon ago in scifi@kbin.socialI think you're thinking of Atlas Shrugged - Neuromancer is literary acid-house and is quite literally one of the best novels ever written. You have to read it about 4 times before you actually get it.
Yup, agreed - that's what I'm doing in my novels ...

Must watch classic SciFi movies?
2y 10mon ago in scifi@kbin.socialOoh, I have a list:
- Looker - directed by Michael "Jurassic Park" Chricton. The first ever film to create 3D shading with a computer that produced the first ever CGI human character was the model Cindy (Susan Dey).
- Westworld (1973) - also written by Michael Chricton
- Mac and Me - It's a movie that's SO UNBELIEVEABLY BAD IT MUST BE SEEN TO UNDERSTAND HOW BAD IT IS. After you watch it, you'll understand why Paul Rudd tortured Conan O'Brien with this famous clip.
- The Last Starfighter - another cheeseball 80s knock off of Star Wars. Also pioneered the use of CGI
- Enemy Mine - Dennis Quaid bonds with an alien enemy and eventually helps him bear children. Directed by Wolfgang 'Neverending Story' Petersen. You have been warned.
- The Quiet Earth - A scientist awakens to find himself alone in the world. In a desperate attempt to search for others, he finds only two who have their own agenda.
- The Stuff - A delicious, mysterious goo that oozes from the earth is marketed as the newest dessert sensation, but the tasty treat rots more than teeth when zombie-like snackers who only want to consume more of the strange substance at any cost begin infesting the world. Co-stars Paul "Goodfellas" Sorvino
- Miracle Mile - What would you do if you accidentally found out that the world was ending in a little over an hour? Features Anthony "ER" Edwards
