I have always been a Sci-Fi fan. I like Old School Sci-Fi! The kinda that DIDN'T have computer special effects, but good actors that would play the part! I say let's bring back movies that would entertain your mind, not wow you with computer generated effects.
Have to agree with you there Dennis.
So many movies rely on effects rather than story line and/or acting these days. Whatever happened to good ole drama?

Good science-fiction is about ideas.

Bad science fiction is about jargon and special effects.

I think the best sci-fi movies are made in my brain. I had such a good time today... i was reading some Arthur C. Clarke... good times. I guess you cant count on movies these days to satisfy your sci-fi cravings.

What was the last "good sci-fi" movie you saw?

The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.

Must Hollywood alter everything?

Actually they don't. When was the last time you seen them alter their attitude about altering everything?

Arthur C. Clarke is a great sci-fi writer....maybe because he was a true engineer/scientist. He was an engineer on the project that put the first satellite into space (or something like that). I read that somewhere or other.
