Back in UK cinemas 28th Nov. and surely Sir David's original inspiration.

Blade Runner's due for re-release next year too, with extra scrapings salvaged from the cutting room floor...
So basically between the pair of 'em that's pretty much the entire genre of hard sci fi getting re-released in the same year.
Oh and Primer. That was probably real sci fi too, thinking about it.
And 2010. Also good.
Most 'sci fi' is usually nothing of the sort. It just insults you. Like it's coating you down, to your face. Telling you you're an idiot for ever learning anything about science. Sorry, science ain't cinematic enough, but hey here's some snazzy special effects! Mind, Kubrick also fell foul of that in 2001, but fair play to Clarke getting him to reel it in a bit, as much as he could... But hey what about Christopher Nolan's Interstellar? Good God was that insulting or what? If i was Kip Thorne i'd be doing whatever i could to dissociate myself from that - i mean aside from anything else, why was Mathew McConaughey's character orange? How could he be such a completely different colour to any of his supposed relatives? Were they like a foster family or something? You'd think amongst all that convoluted wooden exposition they could've at least explained that fact. It's like in Gravity, where there's a mysterious force that only acts upon George Clooney (that bit where he lets go of the chord and 'falls' into oblivion - why just him, and not everything else around him?) but then i guess asking that kind of question on a forum where 99% of folks are content to think space speed limits are perfectly plausible isn't gonna win me much sympathy.. But nah i'm starting to rant, it's cool...
Wahaey, 2001 remastered, woot woot!

I agree, Mathew McConaughey looked like he had jaundice
I also wasn't as impressed with Interstellar as the media expected me to be.

I watched Bladerunner last week and it took me back decades to the first time I watched it in the 80's and took in its jaw-droppingly good near-future, very plausible look and feel. I think the number of views I have is around 25 and I never tire of it. I didn't know there was a re-release due next year - oh boy! Thanks for that info as it has made my day.
And yes, sci-fi ain't what it used to be.
