I read the entire space odyssey series before watching any of the movies and I really liked the books, they're pretty much what got me into sci-fi. But the movie was absolute garbage, I agree. And I say this as someone who's done LSD a bunch of times.

Did you read the novel 2001? I read it before watching the movie and I think understanding the story from that perspective is essential to giving the movie it's full credit.
I really cannot understand why everyone gets so excited by Rogue One. It’s a story that there was absolutely no need to tell, and I felt it only cheapens the stakes of both itself and A New Hope. Besides, the plot is barely coherent at times, with characters who are worked up into huge deals being left behind without any meaningful affect on the story. I liked the Vader scene, I’ll give it that.
Serialized scifi shows are very boring. Especially when the focus of the show is on the serialization instead of the scifi.
Episodic morality plays are much more likely to support the wonder and excitement of discovery that a truly great scifi is capable of delivering.
Unpopular opinion: I really liked Star Trek Discovery Klingons...
The Fast and Furious movies are science fiction movies. The complete disregard for how physics work is literally impossible visual fiction foisted into our faces against against the concept of reality.
and because, Family.
