Never underestimate the dead, solid certainty of today's liberal loony left coast going all out in making a friggin' mess when they make a 'syfi' film out of any thing from the Golden Age of Science Fiction!

Think what they did to Bob Heinlein's Staship Troopers and that horrible Keanu Reeves reboot of the great 1951 film The Day the Earth Stood Still--

Not to mention that huge pile of steaming manure they have the gall to call "Star Trek: Discovery"

You are only so kind because you never saw the so-called “Issac Asimov’s Night Fall” movie.

Beyond any question the absolute worst adaptation of the printed word to the silver screen.

The original Day The Earth Stood Still was, though a fondly remembered and iconic piece of my childhood, commie propaganda, pure and simple.

“Starship Troopers” was ok (at least it was when I was younger, I haven’t seen it ages). Co-ed showers.

Of course I never read the novel so I have no basis to slam it as a poor adaptation. Wikipedia says they basically took an unrelated script and slapped the “Starship Troopers” brand on it.

Yeah Bender…ST Discovery was just an incredible leftistfest. I was able to watch the season without paying somehow? (I would not…could not…give that CBS cable network a dime) I did watch and regretted it but felt it was my duty as a ST fan to give it at least 1 season. Beside the Marxist-queer-racebaiting there was the whole texture of the cinematography that was just wrong…the science was just wrong…the Klingons were WAY-wrong.(how could these animals be a spacefaring race? And you could see where their eyes and nostrils terminated And makeup started).

Hopefully CBS’s attempt at cable networking has failed and they lose their shirts on it.

AND, while you may consider this “Fantasy” rather than Sci-Fi, they made a miserable mess out of “A Wrinkle in Time” as well!

Well Said, Bender! :-)

Agree!
I remember the completely forgettable SciFi doing of Felipe José Farmer’s River Word! Just horrible!
