Avatar (2009) - "One presumes that James Cameron missed the irony in making a preachy, anti-technology movie using the most technologically advanced tools available."
Joshua Tyler on CinemaBlend.com I, Robot (2004) - "If you subtracted from the story and style components recycled from landmark sci-fi films of Hollywood past, you’d be left with Will Smith wisecracking over a box of unformatted floppies. I, Unimpressed." Aaron Hillis in Premiere magazine Minority Report (2002) - "Give Steven Spielberg some dinosaurs or a cute, funny alien and he’ll spin populist sci-fi till the Arcturan cows come home. Give him a philosophical story about technology changing what it means to live in this world and he’ll craft a hodge- podge of shallow and unexplored ideas." Frank Lovece in TV Guide Mission to Mars (2000) - "If DePalma’s Mission to Mars were a book, it would have a yellow cover and the title 2001 for Dummies." Jeffrey Westhoff in The Northwest Herald Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith (2005) - "Star Wars itself is the great saga as a child’s enterprise: a saggy, baggy elephant of empire, conquest, and Burger King scratch-off coupons. Last week, I won a free milk shake. May the fries be with you." Ken Tucker in New York magazine War of the Worlds (2005) - "The ugliest little movie of the summer … embodies all of Spielberg’s bad impulses and almost none of his good ones. Welcome to blockbuster hell." Stephanie Zacharek on Salon.com | GENERAL SCI FI QUOTES "Science fiction is no more for scientists than ghost stories are for ghosts." Brian Aldiss "Science Fiction is that class of prose narrative treating of a situation that could not arise in the world we know, but which is hypothesized on the basis of some innovation in science or technology, or pseudo-technology, whether human or extra-terrestrial in origin." Kingsley Amis "To a European, science fiction needs American characters to sound like the real thing." Isaac Asimov "For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects." Gene Roddenberry "Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century." J. G. Ballard "Science fiction writers, I am sorry to say, really do not know anything. We can't talk about science, because our knowledge of it is limited and unofficial, and usually our fiction is dreadful." Philip K. Dick "Science fiction yesterday, fact today - obsolete tomorrow." Otto O. Binder in SpaceWorld Magazine "In the late forties, Science Fiction was still Sleeping Beauty waiting to be kissed awake by atomic bombs, hydrogen explosions but, above all, Sputnik." Ray Bradbury "Fantasy is the impossible made probable. Science fiction is the improbable made possible." Rod Serling - creator of The Twilight Zone "I've always liked the idea of a special Hugo to be awarded (by force, perhaps) to literary authors who write books dripping with themes filleted from mainstream SF and then deny that it's science fiction 'because it's not about robots and spaceships'." Terry Pratchett "I wonder why we always are menaced by Mars? I suppose that man H.G. Wells started it. One day we may have a big interplanetary libel action on our hands - unless we can prove that the Martians have been equally rude about us." Arthur C. Clarke, Armaments Race "I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled Science Fiction and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal." Kurt Vonnegut Jr. "This is the way the world ends. Hardly even a whimper. Just like a missed appointment. No time for courage or sacrifice. Nothing grand like that. Not even for a proper booze-up." Nigel Kneale in The Quatermass Experiment |
