I agree. I loved the bit with the device that when worn you had an instant translation of the language the other person is speaking. I think that technology might be right around the corner.

Secondly, you point about hollywood remakes.

My all time fav Sci Fi is The Day the Earth Stood Still. I watch it frequently, maybe not to the end, but whenever I’m overly tired and need to watch something to push sleep.

I looked forward to the remake, only to hear that instead of concern for Earth harnassing nuclear power that might jeopardize the universe...It’s (are you ready) our neglect of our planet.

Never went to see it.

Which is why studio suits frequently over ride the director BS messages. Not enough to overcome California weirdness but enough to be marketable.

It is only when traditional, conservative, non-freakazoid stories sneak past that blockbusters really flower.

Left wing messages fail to make money.

The dumbest plot contrivance ever.

“You’re destroying your planet which endangers intelligent life... So we’re going to exterminate intelligent life to protect it.”
