I know, I know.  How is this possible?  Well, the truth is I don’t go see a lot of movies.  And I don’t watch a lot of movies at home.  I prefer reading, watching crime shows, and occasional doomscrolling.  That said, I am curious about these four.  Maybe not enough to actually take the time to check them out, but curious nevertheless.

District 9: Is this the one with the Die Antwoord duo, Ninja and Yolandi Visser?  I’ve heard good things about the visuals but lesser good things about the story.  Trivia: Director and co-writer Neil Blomkamp did work as part of Stargate’s visual effects team.

What do you think?  Seen it?  Should I?

E.T. the Extraterrestrial: Meh.  Dated visuals aside, I’ve never been a fan of hokey storytelling so the prospect of doing a catch-up screening holds not much appeal despite it’s iconic status.

Wall-E: When this movie first came out, one of my fellow producers complained that it started off as hilarious critique of consumerism but then chickened out.  Unlike most, I’m not wholly charmed by Pixar, so this is another one that holds little appeal.

Interstellar: I’ve heard very divergent opinions on this one.  Some say it’s a masterpiece while others – like my former writing partner – complain about its frustrating plot holes.  I suspect that I would likely tend to wards the latter.

So what are some classic sci-fi movies YOU haven’t seen?
