I’m guessing many 1970s scifi movies are forgotten, by anyone who wasn’t there to see them. Dark Star. Silent Running. Rollerball!The 70s produced so much great scifi cinema it’s hard to list it all.And even when it wasn’t great, it was still interesting. It’s like every scifi movie in that decade was a unique experiment, always different, always new. And then one movie came along that ended the golden decade for strange, cool scifi movies.After Star Wars every science fiction movie was trying to be a scifi blockbuster.And Hollywood’s search for the next big corporate entertainment franchise meant that everything would eventually get a reboot. Sometimes that worked. And sometimes it didn’t. And it didn’t work enough times that, I for one, live in dread of Hollywood rebooting another 70s science fiction classic. But.There is one movie from that golden decade which, the more I think about it, actually does need a reboot.#Watch the FULL video version on the new Science Fiction (video) Spotify channel : https://open.spotify.com/show/7lMNsoZctViqbqv8atqpK2?si=9a474bb8a9d74147Become a member of the Science Fiction community to continue the discussionWebsite - https://damiengwalter.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/DamienWalter/membershipPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/DamienWalterSubscribe to the Science Fiction podcast feed for long-form commentaries on these video essayshttps://damiengwalter.com/podcast/Join the Science Fiction community on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/324897304599197/...more July 21, 2024Ken MacLeod on The Culture of Iain M Banks SF author Ken MacLeod on his lifelong friend Iain Banks.Become a member of the Science Fiction community to continue the discussionWebsite - https://damiengwalter.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/DamienWalter/membershipPatreon - https://www.patreon.com/DamienWalterSubscribe to the Science Fiction podcast feed for long-form commentaries on these video essayshttps://damiengwalter.com/podcast/Join the Science Fiction community on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/324897304599197/...more April 07, 2024The 3 Body Problem, Problem Does it matter that the Three Body Problem by Liu Cixin is a work of propaganda?
