I just read that "Ender's Game" the Excellent story by Orson Scott Card will be coming out as a movie in November of 2013. I hope they do it well.
Or, yet another great book to be turned into a garbled movie that only shares the character names with it?
Its got Harrison Ford in it...come on.
Not a particularly rigorous experiment--since you hadn't heard of them, they were likely lower-budget, and sci-fi is a genre that definitely benefits from a larger budget.I share Artlav's reservations as good sci-fi book adaptions to movies are few and far between. In general, good sci-fi movies are rare. I did a test and picked 10 sci-fi movie titles that I had never heard of off the shelf at the local video store, and then came home and checked out their reviews on the website "Rotten Tomatoes". All but one rated in the single digits. Pretty sad.
