Blade Runner Deckerd (Harrison Ford) is chasing after a group of
deadly android killers called replicants, created for slave labor
but who have revolted and are on the loose. An extremely strange movie.
First Contact; Star Trek:
Captain Picard was once assimilated by the Borg, and knows their tactics and methods very well. They are engaged in a heated battle durring which the Enterprise is transported back in time to the 21st century when warp drive was first discovered by humans, shortlay after world war 3, and are fighting the borg who have taken over half their ship.
Foundation, Isaac Asimov
The Galactic Empire is falling, and after it will come 30,000 years
of anarchy. To shorten this period of time to 1000 years, Hari Seldon,
the founder of the science of Psycohistory, a mathematical procedure
with which it is possible to predict the future to some extent,
is creating a foundation to preserve the knowledge of the galaxy,
but while the Empire begins to crumble, warlords seeking dominance
threaten the small foundation on the edge of the galaxy.
Asimov's best book ever, one of the greatest science fiction
series of all time.
The Giver, Lois Lowry
A great story about a completeley controlled society. The protagonist is faced with a hard desision: simply comply with everything they say or face the horror of being "released." 1984 all over again.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglass Adams
A hilariously funny Sci-Fi satire. Everyone should read it.
Ford Prefect is an alien galactic hitch-hiker stranded on Earth
who finds his way off of it just as it is completely destroyed
by the Vogons to build an inter-stellar bypass. He is tortured
terribly by a Vogon captain who reads him poetry. And then throws
him and his earthling friend Aurthur Dent out into space.
Hyperion Cantos, Dan Simmons
This book is mind
blowing. The book involves seven pilgrims on a pilgrimage to a
mysterious place known to the reader as the time tombs. This book
requires the reader to have an eye for detail and a good memory. Dan
Simmons has woven together the elements of this story astoundingly well.
Throughout the book the reader is enticed to keep reading, to uncover
the next fact. I have read Heinlen, Asimov, Crichton, and many others,
however this book outranks them all. Dan Simmons has created a
master-work. If you dont read this book you are missing out on one of
the best sci-fi books ever.
Planet of the Apes:
The Earth has discovered and mastered suspended animation. Ona scientific mission, they suspend a crew of men until several melliniums into the future which will, after having made observations, return to the present. When they arrive they make a startling discovery about evolution. One of the best Sci-Fi movies ever made.
NOTE: The five sequals get steadily worse after the first one.
Red Dwarf:
A really screwy show about an austrailian rat guy, and a bunch of wierdos in space. It grows on you. Original, to say the least.
Repeat Performance:
A man finds a ring constructed by some alien intellegence,
able to reset time by 57 seconds. All traces of that past will
be then gone, and only the man who used the ring will remember it.
He sees the ring as an oppurtunity for power and wealth, but
doesn't realise the horror it is possible for it to create.
2001, Space Oddesy:
A difficult to follow movie, the book is much better I hear, although I haven't read it myself. The Movie stinks.
Sphere, Michael Crichton:
A space ship is discovered beneath Pacific tide. The characters are living in an under-water hab-
itat and are isolated from the outside world. Something from
somewhere is trying to communicate with them in a strange code.
Harry Adams, a genius mathemetician and theoretician, cracks the
code, revealing a series of mysterious messages. A strange
sphere inside the spaceship may spell certain doom for everyone
in the habitat. I recomand this book to any Michael Crichton
fan.
StarShip Troopers:
A race of bugs has developed and become an intellegent life form, and has lured the military into a surprise ambush at a devestated space outpost on a barren planet. This is an okay movie, but is incredibly unrealistic. It defies th laws of phisics in some very odd ways. Kinda like the technical advisor took a day off. I recommend the book far more than the movie.
Star Trek, Gene Roddenberry:
The best Sci fi SHOW there is. The movies are even better. It has variety, plot lines, interesting charcters and some really cool enemies.
The Next Generation:
A Really good show, not as good as the original, but has a little more variety. Some similar characters, with interesting profiles.
Deep Space 9:
A horrible Star Trak Wannabe, more concerned with the feelings of the crew than the story. No interesting characters or storylines.
Voyager:
even worse than Deep Space 9. Has the same lack of variety, but the characters are even less interesting. Captain Janeway is arrogant, caulky and shallow.
Star Wars, George Lucas:
The all time greatest science fiction trilogy ever.
Anyine who hasn't seen it yet should, and if you have, you
should buy it. George Lucas is the master!
A New Hope:
Luke Skywalker finds out what happened to his father who
supposedly died shortly after he was born and geos on a
mission with Obiwan Kenobe against the evil galactic
empire.
The Empire Strikes Back:
The Empire makes a series of damaging attacks to destroy
a rebel alliance that is working against them.
Return of the Jedi:
The all time greatest Sci-Fi book ever written. It just
is. ANyone who disagrees is psychotic.
X-Files:
X files is a show about top secret FBI files and is often
kinda cheezy, but it's a really cool show anyway. The plots are
always interesting and it keeps the viewer on the edge of their
seat. I recommend this show to anyone who likes cliche sci-fi.
Zero Hour, Ray Bradbury:
Children are playing a strange game on the lawn, a little girl
is telling her mother what a fun make-believe game they are playing
with martians. An innocent game that will spell certain doom for the
Earth.
Description of this page:
This page, unlike so many other Sci-Fi pages, does not
review the cheapest, wost plot-line Sci-Fi Tv shows like
"Sliders." The stupidity of such shows simply makes me sick.
First, their plot lines are so pathetic that I'd rather bathe
in a vat of moldy quiche before watching them. The stories are
also pathetic in that the science is so implausible that it's
more like watching a fantasy show. Things happen in the like:
A man had a terminal disease that disolves his brain tissue. In
order to survive, he steals other people's brain tissue and
injects it into the back of his neck. Because he does this, he
is able to polymorf into the people that he steals brain tissue
from. If you can't see the ultimate stupidity in that premise,
get the hell off my web page.
The Sci-Fi I concentrate on is stuff like Sphere by
Michael Chrighton, and Star Wars. Stuff that makes sense and
has a good plot line. If you have any book, movie, TV show,
anything that you'd like to see up here, please email me at:
