The new Star Trek is familiar but also new- a good way to keep spinning them out. And they will make money. The best SciFi goes just beyond imagination and has the possibilty of reality. The Star Trek communicators are now cell phones.

I really liked Serenity but completely missed the series. I think it was not well marketed. I identify with the Big Government vs. Independent Renegades theme, only in space. Throw in some good hand-to-hand fight sequences and I’m all in.

The last SciFi movie that made me saw “wow, that is cool” was the first Matrix. Very interesting idea- is our everyday existence real? And ground breaking special effects (slo-mo, stop-action sequences) But they should have stopped with the one. It got muddled and then completely lost IMO.

Great thread by the way. Reminds us there is a light side to life.
