Where are the great science fiction movies?
Having seen Super 8, X-Men First Class, and just today, Green Lantern, I found myself marveling most at the alien spacesuits in the opening of Green Lantern and thinking 'dang, where have all the great science fiction movies gone?'
I would so dearly love to see Chess with a Dragon done as a science fiction movie.
Admittedly filming with 'real' settings is cheap, but this is the age of CGI. We're now in much more of a position than ever to be able to film complete movies in nonhuman settings - the failing is one of imagination on the part of human directors. People seem to enjoy waxing nostalgic over the past - Cowboys vs Aliens, for instance.
Of course there have been some good science fiction shows and movies, I'm just wishing for more - movies and shows where we're invited to imagine a rich and detailed future universe.
What about y'all, what's satisfying your science fiction cravings lately?
