strredwolfAn intresting discussion came out of an IRC channel.
For a Sci-Fi movie to be good, it must be rated R.
Take a look at these movies, they're all rated R:
Blade Runner
Total Recall
Terminator
The Matrix
Alien (and it's sequils)
...all good movies, because they didn't hold back. Now, look at the bombs.
Star Trek: Nemisis -- PG-13, was a tired genre, and had bad release timing.
Lost in Space -- PG-13.
Planet of the Apes -- PG-13.
Mars Attacks -- PG-13 (and too campy to boot!!!)
The only exception which could be found is the live action Lord of the Rings. PG-13, yes, but everything else overcomes it. Besides, from what I hear, Tolkein would of talked the nudity to death in the books.
