Katy Perry is about to go into space. That is a real news item, not a premise for a really campy direct-to-streaming sci-fi movie. Think about all the people who were adults before man first landed on the moon in 1969. What if you told them that years in the future, they would send a …

One of my favorite science fiction tropes is that of doppelgängers. I love when there’s a clone or an alternate dimension version of a character, or a mysterious twin. I love seeing them side by side and watching them fight (they always do). There’s something so compelling about seeing two versions of one person on …

If you were presented with the opportunity to go to space, would you? Given the recent story of astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore, I’m not so sure. You go up to space thinking that there’s a plan in place, but once you’re up there, any number of things could go wrong. You think you’ll be up there for …

Every sci-fi hero needs a good sci-fi sidekick. The sidekick is an underrated part of the hero’s journey. They’re there to help the hero out along the way, providing guidance, support, and usually a little bit of humor. They’re not going to be the ones to get all the fame and glory, but they’re going …

Sci fi heroes are always being asked to sacrifice something for the sake of the greater good. Maybe it’s even their life. They’ve been thrust into a position they may or may not have asked for, and now they have this great duty to save the planet or whatever. I think about this with Paul …

I would love to adopt an alien, like they did in E.T. It would be like having a pet but even better. Everyone has a pet, but not everyone has an alien. You could ask it all about its home planet and perhaps learn some of their language. You could see if it has any …

Science fiction is sometimes a necessary tool for us to imagine new ways of thinking and doing. Yes, we need scientists and engineers to make the future possible, but we also need artists to dream it up and give it to humanity. Would there be Alexa and Siri had Stanley Kubrick and Arthur C.

Sometimes real life can start to feel like a sci fi movie. Maybe there’s no UFO coming down from the sky to kidnap us and show us to the aliens, but there are drones that fly around unsupervised. Maybe there are no robot butlers that bring us a plate of toast and today’s New York Times, …

Everyone needs a little escape every now and then. It’s why we go on vacation. It’s why we read books. And it’s why we watch movies. But some movies are better at taking us away from our own drudgery than others. Some movies hit too close to home and make us reflect on our own …

In a lot of sci-fi films (and a lot of films in general) exists the concept of a «Chosen One.» They’re the protagonist- the character through which the story is laid out. They are called to action, faced with a choice, and then have to overcome a series of obstacles in order to complete their …
