Of the book based Sci-Fi movies of which I\u2019m aware, the one that was most true to the book was the original 2001. Both Jackson\u2019s Lord of the Rings and the latest version of Dune at least try but both are handicapped by intricate and massive substrates that are almost impossible to set up and capture in the context of 2 hour +\/- videos.<\/p>\n

Although Blade Runner was barely related to it\u2019s source material, \u201cDo Androids Dream of Electric Sheep\u201d, by Phillip K Dick, it succeeds on it\u2019s own as a brilliant piece of work.<\/p>\n

Though the Star Trek movies will never be mistaken for serious or brilliant work, I still remember my disappointment when the 1st episode without the Shatner\/Nimoy cast or the Picard group, offered a close to continuous series of chase scenes in lieu of a plot.<\/p>\n

The 1st several Star Wars movies sucked as Sci-Fi but succeeded as entertainment. A decrepit and distorted Hollywood morphed the extension of that series into something bizarre.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m almost terrified that Hollywood will take my all time #1 favorite movie, Master and Commander and remake it as a multicultural, multi racial, LGBTQ+ crew fighting for racial equity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
