The greatest movie ever made..!

I gave this film a 9 out of 10, because it was exactly what I expected it to be.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

If you take the root of the word fan & i want you to, then maybe you can follow where i i'm coming/going from/to with my review. today, especially when considering the things covered in the 1st few episodes you need to go deep with your grok of the genre. it's metaphor demonstrating the imaginings of universes where humanity is inserted & has to deal with his environment, foreign though it may look/feel there's a human dropped in there who only deal wit they use the situation with the tools his/her humanity has given them. if you are one of those that's wondered things like "why am i here?" or, "what is the/my purpose in life?" then you may have taken it to a more personal/deeper level. i never asked the questions & they used to confuse me but upon this kind of deep meditation/consideration i have come to a place of comfort/understanding re: sci-fi, which is & has become sci-actual. so, i took in all of the stuff presented up to ep. 6 so far. obviously i'm enjoying it. i was pondering symbology & how it is so useful if you can decode it, but also annoying because, what?, i have to learn another communication form? but things today of sci-actual is unearthing long lost worlds and hidden secrets where we need to use or comms skills to decode the symbology of ultimately,us. great venue to see us and finally, to spare us this mr. Cameron names thing easily understandably. re: unobtainium, and a terminator. clear as water, eh?

The trailers for this made it seem like we'd be watching James Cameron chatting with legendary directors of Sci-Fi films. It looked like we'd get to hear the fascinating topics and ideas brought up by these brilliantly creative minds, and the stories they told about their careers and their famous works. I was excited to be a fly on the wall observing these amazing conversations. We do get that, but it's only about 1/6 of the show. The rest is other random people talking about their thoughts on Sci-Fi topics. Sure we get some big names like Will Smith and Sigourney Weaver, but most are people I've never heard of. Some are people in the film industry like VFX artists or illustrators, but the majority are just intellectuals or writers or hosts from web sites, publications or radio shows that I guess deal with Sci-Fi. One guy even has the title "Grand Master of Science Fiction", whatever that means. While I don't want to devalue their thoughts, that's not really what I came for. If you're going to be presenting mostly people I've never heard of, at least tell me that in your marketing. Otherwise, I'm going to feel pretty mislead (as I do now).The show is pretty interesting and worth watching, but it's not nearly as amazing as I was expecting it to be. They had enough good material to make around 2 or 3 good episodes, but they added a bunch of padding to be able to stretch it to 6. I'm guessing it was some TV exec who made that decision.

Seems like all episodes so far inevitably boil down to self-aggrandizing directors and actors virtue signalling about why their movies are great for mostly politically correct reasons. For example, Aliens is great because of feminism; Star Wars because of diversity; etc... If you like watching award shows like the Oscars where the actors and directors talk about how great they are, and giving each other awards, then this is for you.

An exploration into the science fiction genre, with some of the greatest pioneers of the genre. James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Ridley Scott, Zoe Saldana, Will Smith, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sigourney Weaver and more talk about their experience with Science Fiction in this amazing tv series that made my love for Sci-Fi to go threw the roof even more. Seeing stories about classic films like Alien and E-T and how they were made and how the aliens were created or special effects from classic films like Star Wars and just well known directors and actors talking about things and their experiences on that level. It's beautiful, it's amazing and most of all? It's interesting enough to bring more fans into the genre!!!
