Most of my favourite books/movies/TV shows are Sci fi - I love Mary Shelley, slaughterhouse five, annihilation (both the book and the movie), The Thing, x files, the invasion, and the OA. This feels like a pretty wide variety of writing styles when I line them up but 90% of the sci fi I read/watch I just don’t enjoy at all. It’s a shame because when I love something sci fi I feel like it’s changed my whole life, but when it comes to finding new things I can just enjoy its easier to go through other genres. Is anyone else like this? Does anyone have reccomendations based on what I do like?
I have seen Triangle it’s so good :) I love it when a movie is gripping enough that I’m fully immersed the entire time and also complicated enough that I can read analyses of it afterwards and feel like I’m watching it again. I enjoyed Primer (2004) for the same reason.
