Seems partly inspired by Brave New World in the era of genetic sequencing.
Those were incredible Treks though (TUC is my favorite by far). Still, Trek wasn’t really mainstream at this point, definitely not a blockbuster, even though First Contact probably broke the threshold.
I honestly haven’t seen Dark City yet, never got around to it. The Matrix was part of the change and came out the same year, my point was we’d had a major drought till then. I’m arguing we went from a time of dearth to a time of plenty, and then walked face first into the MCU which recently imploded.
You’re being ridiculous. The novels were written then.
Do you think they just put the novels into a screenplay machine and it came out the other end with a movie script?
Or do you think every movie adaptation of a novel is a well-written movie?
Anyway, since that’s not enough for you, I’ll keep going with well-written science fiction films of the 90s with much better writing than any Star Wars film George Lucas ever made:
Back to the Future III
Darkman
Edward Scissorhands
Total Recall
The Rocketeer
Terminator 2
Jurassic Park
The City of Lost Children
Six-String Samurai
The Handmaid’s Tale
Tank Girl
The Fifth Element
Primer
The Truman Show
Bicentennial Man
Predator 2
Delicatessen
Gremlins 2: The New Batch
Men in Black
I’d even put Stargate above The Phantom Menace in terms of writing. Also, not one of those movies had a long and pointless sci-fi version of a NASCAR race in the middle of it.
written in the 1960s IIRC.
