While I might want to see some more unique substance, I am a firm adherent to the roundabout nature of things. What is well known today may not be tomorrow, so we should cling and see what happens.best fundraising ideashttp://www.wofunding.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-67992349040689635592013-07-23T13:15:21.463-04:002013-07-23T13:15:21.463-04:00I disagree with the first anonymous.

It has nothing to do with the genre. With movies being a visual medium, sci-fi is an easy target since it allows the studios to get away with wilder special effects without breaking the "realism" of the movie.<br /><br />I suspect a big part of the problem is when the head producers don't really like/understand the book being made into a film, and are only doing it because they were told it is popular. That leads them to overemphasize the obvious (explosions! destruction!), and downplay the elements that are the reason why people love these stories (character; imaginative ideas).Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-76453646357395734832013-07-23T12:59:35.553-04:002013-07-23T12:59:35.553-04:00Great article, J.D.

While I would like to see some more original content, I am a firm believer in the circular nature of things. What is popular today may not be tomorrow, so let's hang on and see what happens.ChrisBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10843864158239536750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13727952.post-79757377599194739582013-07-23T05:23:48.286-04:002013-07-23T05:23:48.286-04:00Interesting article but I can't help feel that...Interesting article but I can't help feel that the problem revolves around sci-fi shows as opposed to any other genre. Fair enough there seems to be a lot of sequels coming out lately for really old movies but it's only really sci-fi movies that get reboot's. That's probably because sci-fi movies have a massive fan-base across all ages.But you do bring up some food for thought in terms of the lack of originality in modern movies. I loved Man of Steel but I have to admit that an online video 'how Man of Steel should have ended' proves your point on lazy writing. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
