- ‘Brave New World’ has always been one of my favourite #scifi #books, so I am interested in this new television adaptation of Huxley’s iconic work.
- This theory says we haven’t discovered #aliens yet because they are digital beings who have put themselves into hibernation as they wait for the universe to be cooler. Don’t know how realistic it is as a theory, but it would make a good #scifi premise.
- Scientists have concluded that whatever language we’re speaking when we leave on our generation ships to another solar system, chances are it will change radically by the time the colonists arrive.
- Wavelength is one of those 80s #scifi #movies that you would have rented at your local video store back in the day. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. I wrote a short review of this aliens-among-us movie on SciFinds.

I have actually liked the movie, they kept it as true to the original as they could any more so and I think it would have made no sense (remember that originally John Carter only had thoughts of Mars and there he was), I have read the complaints of reviews and I think they expected too much from such an old story. Fans wanted more true to the original and others wanted something more innovative. I think it was well balanced for an action space opera (sins of the mushy middle?). This is much better than any Transformer (Karina will kill me if she reads this).
A lot of this seems predictable formulaic and things already seen in other SF movies, but lets all remember that this story was written way before anything else (except for Verne and Wells), A good fun movie with lots of action and good SFX. I will eventrally purchase this on DVD and watch it again.
