It was gladiator in black and white with the contrast cranked to 11. Take away the overexposure and … just like everything else the sci fi bad guys build in the last three decades of film. The Lynch Giedi Prime was terrifying.

But that’s probably because I’ve been watching sci fi films for fifty years.



I mean I'm fairly sure it's the first/only infrared shot on imax, which is neat and gives it that unique look.


If you read scifi from the 50s you'll find that there was no original idea in any scifi film.


Sigh.

Asimov didn’t write EVERYTHING.

He didn’t write about gender and politics like LeGuin

He didn’t write about drug addicted Mars settlers like PKD.

He didnt write about dimensional fragments and gravitation wave communication and laws of existence like Liu.

Even the grandfather of it all HG Wells didn’t ….

You trolled me and I fell for it. Damn.


Sigh… there's more than one scifi writer.

You've read ONE out of HUNDREDS!

Wow you're so cultured and intellectual!

> He didn’t write about drug addicted Mars settlers like PKD.

Read the first stories on mars colonization, long before philip k dick.

It's not a moral fault to not have read something. But perhaps don't go lecturing people who have?

You don't see me going to china to lecture about chinese literature while I don't even speak chinese. Don't do that. It's sad.
