As usual and in no surprise to anyone how things happen in Sci-Fi films bears no resemblance (I hope) to how things would happen in a real mission.Picture the scene, long journey, excitable explorers wanting to get out and see what's there.

I don't want to say it was just the concepts, really it was about how these films made you feel. I still get goosebumps watching Darth Vader going about being evil in … Continue reading Science Fiction Greats – Has the new blood run out of Concepts?
