After reading the dismal list of Academy Award nominees, I realized that Hollywood just doesn’t know how to make entertaining films anymore. I mean, have more than six people seen any of the nominated films? The record is even worse for cinematic science fiction. Let’s face it: sci-fi hasn’t had a solid offering for years, if not decades. You would think that with the arrival of robust CGI, Tinsel Town would be busily at work making all our entertainment dreams come true. Instead, we have been subjected to an endless stream of mindless sequels and thoroughly uninteresting tales. Perhaps Ridley Scott was correct when he remarked that he thought science fiction was dead?
