The Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Spy, and Superhero Genre

It's awesome!

Agreed! My two middle sons and I went to see it last night and it is VERY GOOD. It follows the book very well and the producer/directors casting for each character was excellent. The special effects were top notch.

I hope it's better than the original. Everybody  I talked to that saw the original said it sucked.

I wanted to see it 80s version when it came out, and I was discouraged.

I’m glad Science Fiction seems to be becoming more popular. When I was in Junior High, I fell in love with the genre.

That's wonderful, and it looks like we are getting the sequels! I treated my nephews to see this yesterday, they loved it too, and I don't know if you saw this, but it looks we are getting the sequel!

I will never understand why more teens aren't into Sci-Fi. After all,most of teen life revovles around imagination.

I used to give gift subscriptions to Issac Asivmov's Science Fiction and Fact magazines to the teen children of friends,and AFAIK,not a single one ever bothered to even read them because if they had,there is no way they wouldn't have commented on the stories and articles,yet not one single word.

BTW,I still subscribe to the digital version. I hate to admit it,but I forgot all about my subscription because I don't like reading from tablets.

I was hooked by Heinlein's juvenile SF novel "Red Planet" when I was in the 5th grade in 1965.

That's pretty much what the dragons did.
I liked the movie. The story was told without any gratuitous profanity or sex. Worked fine without it.
