Science Fiction Films
Jul. 1st, 2014 01:08 pmWell folks i am on my travels but only in the local area. It is a sunny warmish day and the forecast for the following day is good too. So i shall be making the most of it, although at the moment i am in Faversham library. I have just been to Past Sentence to sell some books in which i received six pounds for and transferred some money that i had residing in my Pay Pal account across to my bank.
Thank goodness i have another pay day tomorrow.
Last night i watched that science fiction film Elysium. Not bad, but as usual with some of these modern crop of sci-fi films it is too long on the combat action and too short on the drama or philosophical action. There isn't the gravitas that something like The Martian Chronicles or 2001 A Space Odyssey held. Of recent years and i guess i am going back twenty years, maybe more, the best science e fiction films are the director's cut of Blade Runner (based on Philip K Dick's "Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep" ), Minority Report (also based on a Dick short story), Inception, Cloud Atlas, and or course the most recent Star Trek films. There are others but i do not want to bore you with a long list.
So folks, what are your favourite science fiction films, and if you can , give the reason why. All comments accepted.
