modern Sci Fi movies basically suck




Endemic non-originality is the order of the day when it comes to modern science fiction movies. Gone are the days of Blade Runner, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and E.T. All of which were formidable and intelligent films that showed us a world that could be. Today's science fiction films a la Star Trek the Future Begins, District 9, and Transformers all seem to lack that credibility that the eighties era science fiction flicks seemed to possess innately. Although they are definitely eye candy they do not come with the sense of awe and wonder attached. I was aware of that as well.
