Riverworld (2003)
The absolute very best version of this story!
I have never understood the animosity against this incredible movie. I never read the book from where it's origins were and it's 2010 reiteration was the one that was horrible. This particular miniseries here has a special place in my heart and I don't care what anybody says or thinks however small their microscopic minds and imaginations may be, this was an awesome movie! Made in the age before the Sci-fi channel was absorbed by NBC and became the absolute abomination that it is today, the Sci-fi channel produced some of the greatest miniseries out there like the Lost Room, Tin Man, Taken as well as Alice and many others. This was an epic adventure that told this fantastic story in a very positive light. The reiteration of River World in its 2010 version cannot even compare.
Krull (1983)
A most EXCELLENT sci-fi fantasy adventure!
A fantastic romantic, fantasy epic well ahead of its time utilizing modest special effects, spectacular on site locations and some of the most elaborate sets ever constructed for one movie, they somehow made it work along with some great humor and about a dozen of the most famous actors that we know now in our time that has ever been assembled together in one movie.
Star Trek fans may recognize Ken marshall, the lead actor as the bane and nemesis of Captain Sisko in Star Trek's Deep Space Nine, Lieutenant Eddington who caused so much trouble for Starfleet in those episodes. I didn't recognize him if my life depended on it because of so much hair loss 😆 and I can spot favorite actor wearing the most elaborate disguises just by their voices alone and I was so surprised and embarrassed to find out that I did not recognize this guy from a movie that has been an all-time favorite of mine for almost 40 years!
This is a great fantasy adventure for the whole family. If you ever get a chance to watch it I highly recommend it! The strange five pointed flying knife that you see depicted in all of the graphics and posters is called the Glaive.
Finch (2021)
Good WHAT IF show
It's a pretty good Adventure Show on a highly likely and probably happened before kind of apocalyptic scenario where the sun ejects a supermassive coronal mass ejection. The solar flare Burns Out significant portions of the ozone allowing microwave strength radiation to basically fry most of the planet. Tom Hanks does a great job playing something of a mild-mannered hero in the show trying to survive to save his dog. A good family post-apocalyptic show that you would be glad to bring a date to.
The Lathe of Heaven (1980)
Its what Science Fiction is all about
I seen this movie when it first came out and couldn't remember the title for over 20 years yet its content and story stuck with me all these years. I was given the name of if it when I described the story premise on Sci-fi Channels Bboard web page and a member wrote back what it was. I was quite please since now I know what to look for.
This movie is true classic Science Fiction right up there with Forbidden Planet and many others and has had a profound effect on my concepts and perception of reality and recommend it not only to sci-fi enthusiasts but people who are into psychology studies too. Movies like The Lathe of Heaven, Brazil, and other such psycho-dramas can help us to understand ourselves in very unconventional ways.
