I Can’t Help It, I LOVE Sci-Fi

Ok, I know it’s not normal for a middle aged mom and dog nut to love Science Fiction but I can’t help it, I do. I grew up watching Star Trek (the original series),  Lost in Space, and re-runs of The Twilight Zone.

I always wondered what the attraction of Science Fiction is to so many of us, and have come to the conclusion that it’s the possibility.

Science Fiction shows us what is possible, what the future may be and what seems impossible, is really possible. Think about it. If you watch the old Sci-Fi movies of the 50′s and even the Star Trek series of the 60′s, you can see that many of the things they only imagined are now part of our reality,

I’m so psyched that all these Sci-Fi movies are coming out in the next few weeks. First we have the new Star Trek movie . It came out yesterday but I’ll wait a few days for the crowds to die down before I attempt to go see it. I heard on twitter that it was a great movie. That it appealed to broad audiences without offending us Trekkies. I’m still amazed at how much the kid they got to play Spock looks like a young Leonard Nimoy.

Next there is Angels and Demons which may offend those who are Catholic (remember this is just make believe). It comes out on May 15th.

Finally, there is Terminator Salvation due out on May 21st. I absolutely love the 9 Inch Nails song they chose for the theme song. It’s called "The Day the Whole World Went Away" & you can hear it here although I think the version they sing in the movie is better.

Are there any other Sci-Fi movies I haven’t come across yet coming out this summer that yall know about? Let me know if there is. So far it looks like May is definitely Sci-Fi movie month! And I am one happy, middle aged, dog nut mom!
