His Solaris is embarrassing compared to Tarkovsky’s original.I like the slow pace of cloonys stuff, I love Solaris. I also love no country for old men, great film

Gravity wasn’t garbage. It was technically brilliant and that was its main thrust. It didn’t pretend to be anything more. My very favourite Sci fi was Silent Running, a dated, perhaps, but deeply human story. Movingly shot and played. Sci fi can often be cold and dispassionate. This wasn’t and stands out because of it.
Ad Astra - Brad Pitt is on the most important mission in history, so they send him to the remote moon base on a rickety 1980’s moon rover, having already been told this is bandit country. Why didn’t they just fly him across?
I liked Moon too. That Bowie was a clever man!No. No
Respectfully, disagree.
My fave SciFi was "Moon". Beautifully shot; haunting soundtrack; great acting; and explored the notion of self, of loss, of isolation (bit like PFM reallly )
(Oh and Moon was done on 5 million bucks, which is nothing in terms of budget)
Maybe you should stick to the Home Alone seriesYou are rong. It is utter drivel. and Ad Astra is infinitely worse.
You’re not a script writer are you?You are rong. It is utter drivel. and Ad Astra is infinitely worse.

Didn’t comment on Ad Astra, strangely.Nor have I seen it. Films aren’t all necessarily black and white, good or bad.Most have some redeeming features.None are perfect. And in the end it’s all subjective.Lol, no. I don't make wine either, but I'm perfectly capable of distinguishing good from bad. Also with movies.
Seriously, if you think Ad Astra is good (or even acceptable), then more power to you - having luch low standards must make enjoying these things much easier.

Blade runnerAs a matter of interest, what are people’s favourite sci fi films?
These are all great and in my list, especially The Thing which is stunning I think. I also love Children of Men, Starman, The Man Who Fell To Earth, Dark Star and Silent Running. Capricorn One was a great concept as well.Blade runner
