  • Awesome, I have too see Forbidden Planet, it's a definate pre-cursor of Star Trek: The Original Series.

  • @TruthSurge well ,perhaps spielber is refering to the scientific kind of reality,that bot films have,but,who knows

  • @TruthSurge i'm pretty sure he meant it from a technical sense as opposed to the story. i could be wrong. because it was trying to be as scientifically accurate and believable as possible, as opposed to using goggles as a breathing apparatus.

  • Tonight's movie: "The Birds", starring Walter Pidgeon.

  • Destination Moon is the father of 2001: A Space Odyssey? hahahha 2001 has nothing to do really with the other. It's about alien-assisted evolution. The older one is about... going to the moon. Maybe that's why Kubrick never admitted it, Spielberg?

  • You can't deny the great contribution of these movies to films today. My favorite sci-fi movie of the fifties was "War Of The Worlds" (1953). I also loved "When Worlds Collide". These movies were just fun, fun, fun!!

  • I like George Lucas he has an ideal

    for C3PO of the Starwars series.

    I am a big Starwars fan until now

  • @crabsyman

    We find new species on our own planet daily...

    We haven't even started to explore our oceans let alone the universe.

    What we know about life etc,,is not even 1%.

    What are you...another one of those religious nuts?

  • @crabsyman

    George Lucas believe there is life out there. Look at the next part.

    Lucas belive there must be life out there.

    But what it is or how it look, he didn´t known it.

  • George,Steven,Jimmy and Ridley are the "Masters of real science fiction".

    Not gufy or boring scifi. Just great storyteller!!!

    And this it is all ABOUT! To tell great stories in their own "worlds"
