Interstellar vs. Disney’s The Black Hole
I think it’s safe to assume that most of you have at least heard about the film Interstellar. Directed by Christopher Nolan and starred by Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, and Jessica Chastain, the 2014 movie was a hit. Many consider it the best sci-fi movie ever made (thus far). And part of this success is due to the black hole in the movie.

How Science Fiction Dystopianism Shapes the Debate over AI & Robotics
Most fictional portrayals of technology today are not as optimistic as they used to be. Indeed, public and political conceptions about artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are being strongly shaped by the relentless dystopianism of modern science fiction novels, movies and television shows. And we are worse off for it.

Hear me out: why Predator 2 isn’t a bad movie
Predator is a bona fide classic of science fiction. Predator 2 is, by most accounts, utter trash – one of countless sequels from the late 80s and early 90s that live in the shadow of their predecessor. Yet such is the way that the predator has been tarnished by almost every film that has come since, Predator 2 stands up as one of the creature’s best outings. Stephen Hopkins’s film stands up well to repeat viewings and is far less dumb than it first appears. It has its dumb moments but still has more brains behind the brawn than it receives credit for.

Humans, one of the more hideous and terrifying species.
It's funny how science fiction universes so often treat humans as a boring, default everyman species or even the weakest and dumbest. I want to see a sci fi universe where we're actually considered one of the more hideous and terrifying species.

Sex And Death From Outer Space - 'The Village of the Damned' - 1960
John Wyndham's novels were never cosy. At best, they were dark tales of speculative fiction examining how life continues to exist - in all its mundane desperate ways - against monstrous forces attempting to destroy it.
