My wife and I are sci-fi fans and have tend to like most sci-fi movies and TV shows. That said we were both insulted by the stupidity of Abram’s reboots. The total ripoff of STII in “Into Darkness” (which had no “darkness”) put us off badly. The entire Trek idea has been beaten and worn to death to the point where it should be retired. 12 movies and 5 TV shows are enough.
However, Hollywood, having lost completely any idea of creativity, will keep foisting endless remakes on us. Star Trek, Terminator and Alien will run forever.
For every “District9” expect 5 or 6 mediocrities like “Avatar”.
Marking for my daughter the SCI FI fan...
Yes, apparently an extremely drunk "fan" made an emotional plea to the room and they basically dropped Into Darkness to the bottom of the list to shut him up. The real fans had it somewhere in the median. I wasn't in that session, thank God!
Also, fans upset about R2D2 in the debris? Are you telling me out of the thousands of Starfleet officers on board it isn't possible that one could have been a Star Wars fan and had an R2 in his quarters?
William Shatner said it best, "Get a life, people!"
