OK, so I have given you all the list of movies I plan to watch for my sci-fi immersion. However, in the midst of a Star Trek: The Next Generation marathon, I noted the structure of the show was a lot more like a movie than I thought. Is it enough or as good to watch good made for TV movies or just good TV shows to get a sense for the expectations of the genre.
In contrast to some other genres, Sci-fi seems to prefer the small screen over movies. I don't know if it's the audience or the nature of the quality of sci-fi in general, but it seems like most great sci-fi films are notable for something other than the science fiction.
Most recently watch feature film is Happy-go-lucky. This was nominated for a golden globe. I'm not sure why. It is called an effervescent comedy by Netflix. I mean, that's a pretty bold statement to make about a movie, that a mostly found a study in contrasts that makes you think that pretty much everyone in England has anger issues.
Beware the Netflix movie description. Even of movies that have been nominated for a major award like a Golden Globe. It makes me re-think the concept of a log line. Let's face it a log line isn't really about the movie, it's about getting people interested in reading a script or plunking down $10 to see a movie and then (here's the kicker) you don't have to ever really defend that the log line has anything to do with the movie itself.
