Buck Rogers remake really? thats kinda cool.
I'll be interested in seeing how badly the boycott will affect Ender's Game. As a novel, it never impressed me that much (the idea was kind of forced and the kids did not behave like kids of their age do).
Unfortunately, none of the movies above seem to cry out "Gattaca" to me, but I hope to see some thinking (not just action) in at least a couple of them.

to be honest apart from Star Trek which has already been and gone at the flicks, the others all come accross a poor line up.
Im guessing that enders Game is another teenage flick just like the Hunger Games.
Elysium: im already dredding that one,
Europa Report: i think will be easly forgotton
Gravity: has Sandra Bullock and George Clooney in it, which tells me everything i need to know.
Buck Rodgers, thats the first ive heard of it as no where even mentions a 2013 movie, not unless you are refering to the CGI Buck Rodgers film.
Hyperion: hasnt even been annouced yet so doubt very much you will see that in 2013 plus Bradley Cooper writing the script doesnt fill me with great hope.
Riddick: looks like a remake of Pitch Black.
you also appear to have missed out
Pasific Rim
Stranded
Europa Report
The World's End
The Colony
Thor: The Dark World
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire

I recently saw it, and I agree. Still worth seeing though.
Yep, but it fit the profile.
I got most of the movies from this link. No idea where I found info about it. Will reply when I figure it out.
I did not know those were space films. If its like take a journey to a planet, and then most of the movie is on that planet, I did not include it. Was looking for movies going on in space, on a station or starship.
Riddick for me but Buck Rogers? They had better find someone exceptionally stunning to play Colonel Deering
*Dreams of Erin Gray*
Erin Grey in those spandex suits was the highlight of a saturday evening back in the 80's. Left an impression on me as a teenager for sure
Caught the Europa Report as well and while some of it was good, it was really undermined by shallow characters and very unbelievable story (stupid mission plan as well as the fact that there was no system redundancy at all - no back-up systems for anything that they needed during the mission and humans were sent out where simple robots might have done the same job better etc. etc.).
Agreed totally with both your posts, Ender's Game [as a book & coming film] and Europa Report [film].
Why send 'all' of the crew down to the planet from the main part of the ship? Utterly ridiculous! The deaths in the film were totally unnecessary and for all the hype about it being scientifically accurate, the mission model (as you point out) was utter foolishness and would never have gotten of the launch pad.

This winter´s BIG SPACE HYPE
Hi;
I was surprised when I could not find anything about the “next” BIG space movie on ED Forums.
- Ender´s Game
The book is still one of my “ever” favourite books. The release of the movie will be in November-2013.
The movie trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP0cUBi4hwE is a perfect trailer for ED, see the space fight in the start.
If Frontier and ED get out the word on Internet, that we have Ender Game´s “Space Academy” in our game, we will get 500.000 -> 1.000.000 extra players (I think over 100.000.000 will see the movie)
- There is no better “movie” stars than Harrison Ford and Ben Kingsley to get out the word: “Do the fight in the space”.
- You can see a picture of the space academy (e.g space station) on Imdb http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1731141/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
If Frontier is not doing anything about Ender´s Game, then I hope to find an “Easter Egg” about Enders Game somewhere in the space.
Any comments about this thingy?
PS: I would love to meet the “B.u.g.g.e.r.s” in ED (there nasty aliens)

Not according to the Speaker For The Dead
True Enders Game does have a huge following. Every scifi fan should be told about Elite.
There may be a few problems with intellectual property rights tho (and also boycotts
)First, the OP should prolly have checked the _off-topic_ forum:

The Ender's Game novel never excited me much. The characters were unbelievable as 6-year-olds (just try reading it and comparing them to your own kid/sibling of similar age and put 1 and 1 together) and the plot conclusion was rather ridiculous (the justification for using 6-year-olds, that is).
The only thing that interests me in this movie is how the boycott will affect its popularity. This will probably mostly affect the USA where the author is pretty... controversial, but I would not be surprised to see the more numerous progressives in Europe joining in the boycott.

Hmmm...
Did someone lowered the temperature in here or did the airlock leaked again?
SF movies don't grow on trees, so I am glad for every decent production even not every one might be worth remembering it. But I will let the months pass and make my call when I saw it.
I completely agree. When I was growing up, sci fi movies were scarce. You enjoyed what got put out there because most of them were a labour of love despite their shoddy effects (but that never bothered me, imagination fills the cracks with its own brand of CGI
). Nowadays, everyone thinks a sci fi movie is just meh. Everybody's got a complaint. If this continues, producers will give up on making sci fi flicks, in the same way studios gave up on making space sims.Enders Game - I'm there like a bear. Boycotts are for idealists.
Interesting ... I didn't know what OSC meant (as an acronym) so I Googled "Enders Game Boycott" and found this as the first hit.
Food for thought.
(And no - this is one film I am not interested in as pretty much most films where kids are the stars turn out to be poor - Hunger Games was dire so I expect this to be too, not because of who wrote it as that's irrelevant)
