If You Couldn't Follow These Sci-Fi Movies, You're Not AloneThe process of taking a science fiction story and putting it on the big screen involves compromises all along the way. There just isn't time to explain what's happening the way a book does, and if we wanted everything explained, we'd just read the book. Some science fiction movies translate the story better than others. Sometimes it's just a time crunch that demands more edits; in other movies the art or the action takes priority over clarity. What's the most confusing sci-fi movie you've seen? Does Inception confuse you more than Looper? Is it harder to follow 2001: A Space Odyssey or Primer? Screen Rant took suggestions from reddit and ranked the top ten most confusing science fiction films up through 2013. They don't explain their ranking calculations, but the movies are admittedly confusing. See how others' opinions rank against your own as far as incomprehensible movies go by checking out the list. The movie Zardoz is strangely absent. It could be that not too many redditors have seen it all the way through. -via Fark#sciencefiction #scifi #film #movie 

The Doomed Space TravelerAlasdair Beckett-King noticed how doomed space travelers in movies always manage to leave behind video evidence of their demise. This is very handy for the hero who comes after, as it sets up a challenge to avoid the same fate. Yeah, turning around and going back home would be the best option, but that never happens because the movie would end too soon.

A Preview of This Fall's Sci-Fi, Fantasy, and Horror MoviesLast fall there were hardly any movie theaters open, and as it got cold, even the drive-ins closed. This year, the chaos of pandemic production and release schedules combined to give us an embarrassment of riches. Summer movies got delayed until fall, horror films have two years of productions to rush out, and the release buildup runs them into the late-in-the-year prestige movies looking for awards. If it all sounds confusing, you can consult a list of 43 films at io9, with a synopsis for each and a trailer when available, all arranged in chronological order so you know when a movie will come to a theater near you, or in the case of highly-anticipated streaming movies, a home screen near you. #movie #horror #scifi #fantasy

Kaneda's Iconic Motorcycle from Sci-fi Movie Akira was Brought To Life with Ryan Hong's Contemporary RedesignKaneda's bike was an iconic image found in the sci-fi movie Akira, released in 1988. Concept artist Ryan Hong reinterpreted the bright red motorcycle with a contemporary perspective, including a GPS system.Despite taking a modern approach, Hong kept the overall structure aerodynamic. The air is redirected from the front wheel opening out to the sides of the body, and there’s an air intake that cools the upper battery. Moreover, there are also two swappable batteries that have their own heat ventilation system, preventing overheating both battery sets.
