Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

Just looking for some recommendations because I'm in a sci fi mood. And btw, my favorite sci fi film is Planet of the Apes (original).

Out of all movies, over all periods and genres? 2001: A Space Odyssey

I actually prefer 2010, which puts me in a very small minority but 2010 is one of my favorite sci fi films

It's a good movie, too. I remember seeing 2001 and 2010 in the years 2001 and 2010 as a double-feature in cinema.

I'd love to see them both in theater

Totally worth it! Especially 2001 looks spectacularly awesome. Not only awesome for it's age, but on par with modern productions - even surpassing them thanks to practical effects, models, and high quality filming equipment and media.

Yeah I love the pre-cgi age because special effects actually age well when they're not computer generated, at least if done well.
