Well it's a really old movie. In less than 20 years it's going to turn 100 years since it came. Some hardcore fans of Starwars and Blade Runner might know the film but only as a reference, but I think that it's a film that only the hardcore Sci-Fi geeks know.Quantum Roberts said:Its a joke I know but now I'm scaredoliveira8 said:
But! I think that the original cut that runned over 3 hours(me thinks) is getting released in Blu-Ray and DvD this year.
I discovered it through a girlfriend that was into silent movies.
Some Sci-fi makes the mistake of trying to make me care too much about the boring everyday live of the people out in space or sitting right next to a wormhole into another universe.
I think the best sci-fi can make light of its subject matter, has solid believable characters, and doesn't necessarily spend ages defining the operating principles of the fictional technology. But on the other hand, the mechanics of the sci-fi have to be believable.
Doctor Who would have to be my favourite sci-fi series, but an honourable mention also goes to Half-life, Fallout 3, Tron,The Darklands Trilogy and of course Back to the Future. And maaybe the matri- no definitely not come to remember it.

I agree with you that Dune is some of the best written Sci Fi ever. I loved all of the Dune books, even when the plot got so thick I had to re-read sections to figure out what was going on. However, I disagree with you that Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Dune books are not as good. I have read all of Frank Herbert's and all of Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's Dune books and I think that they are all great.oliveira8 said:
I'll be the first to admit that movie versions of books are never as good as the books themselves, but I'd still love to see a movie or perhaps better yet, a TV series (especially if it was done using really well drawn anime)based very closely on all of the Dune books. If they started with the earliest of the Dune prequel books and did all the books, the TV show would be on the air with new episodes every week for years. If it was done well enough, it would beat records set by shows like Robotec and Doctor Who for how long it was on.
Yes.
Firefly, and Battlestar Galactica, and I would even say Lost counts as "Sci Fi".
When it comes to video games I would say Mass Effect, and Half-Life.
Also Dune will always have a special place in my heart, along with 2001 a Space Odyssey.
Edit: And I would agree with the post right below mine, District 9 was pretty bad ass.

I like reading Science Fiction books and I have read so many that I almost start twitching when I hear the term Sci-Fi as it can been seen as Science Fiction's retarded, hyperactive little brother. I do enjoy shows like Firefly, Star Trek TNG, Futurama and Gunbuster.
Why oh why is Anne McCaffrey always labeled as fantasy...
She herself called it science fiction!
Since I'm a fantasy buff, the Dragonriders of Pern is probably the only sci-fi BOOK series I like. I don't read much sci-fi, because I'd rather have magic then machines. Though, as to television, Stargate SG-1.
Never seen Firefly. Or read Dune.
