Ok what is your favorite science fiction movies that you have seen. What are some good science fiction books you would recommend.
If one is really able to get past the fallacies and paradoxes (is that a word), then time travel movies are usually interesting.
The 1960 version of H.G. Welles "The Time Machine" was great. Yeah, they had WW III occurring in 1966 - but aside from that, the special effects were pretty good (considering it was before CGI).
One of the more interesting points in that movie for me was when he went way into the future and encountered the young people. One of them, a young woman, fell into a river and was drowning. None of the others seemed to care nor did anyone lift a finger to help. This lack of concern for human life completely puzzled him. (He did jump into the river and save the young woman.)
I think sometimes we've arrived at that place (where human life is devalued.)
