Warp Prime 42 *"aimed solely for younger audiences,"* That's because there wasn't, and still isn't, much science fiction at all to speak of. What is called science fiction even today is still 99.9% science FANTASY. Remember that stupid film called Sunshine that people gushed over? That was a stupid slasher film which was rooted entirely in fantasy, and not at all science. One of the first serious science fiction films was 2001 and it still remains unique since that was entirely a science fiction movie, and it's a rarity to this day. Star Trek is fantasy, Star Wars is fantasy - and those are for children.

+fuzzywzhe Perhaps you have never seen a film called "Mysterious Island" adapted from a story by Jules Vern. And then there is "20,000 Leagues Beneath the Sea" also by Vern. These were true science fiction. Both were the origin of Captain Nemo and the submarine Nautilus. If you have not seen these 1950's movies I can recommend both. As for targeting the younger audience, the movie "Forbidden Planet" with Walter Pigeon and a young Leslie Nielson, is widely considered the first serious treatment of a science fiction theme. But I agree with you technically this is a science FANTASY film. Cheers fuzzy

PeterDad60 *"Science "Fiction" means made up just as Science "Fantasy" does."* No, it doesn't. Science fiction is what is conceivably possible, however the technology doesn't exist, however the current known science doesn't invalidate it as a possibility. Science fantasy is what is known to be impossible given the known science. As we learn more and more about the natural world, more and more things fall from the category of fiction to fantasy. Jules Verne wrote a lot of science fiction.

fuzzywzhe, "science fiction" and "science fantasy" ARE the same thing. Both terms refer to science as a basis to tell fantastic stories that are right now, impossible. You say "Star Trek" is a fantasy because it will be impossible. However, there are a number of devices from the series that are becoming reality as we speak. The diagnostic bed, tricorders, the transporter and warp drive are moving from the realm of impossible to possible. Various medical supply companies now sell different versions that were inspired by the original beds. There are handheld scanners that can be aimed at various materials and can determine their composition. CERN and several US tech companies are making headway and have achieved transportation of atomic particles. Professor Alcubierre in Mexico has developed the best possible theory for warp drive so far.

flash Gordon first appeared in about 1934 in weekly chapters, with a cliff hanger that made people come back. hoakey as it was things like the 'televive' was just a figment of some writers imagination, until some kid in the audience turned it into reality years later. the 'disolvo ray' turned into the laser beam. no clue what space travel would be like or how they would take off or land They made it simple and for the audience kinda believable. magnetic trains........ amazing how much of this sci fi is reality 80 years later!

From the Wiki: "In 1953, the 1939 movie serial was edited into a feature film entitled Planet Outlaws, by Sherman Krellberg for release via Goodwill Pictures Inc..[1]"

I think the date should be late 30's

Buck Rogers Planet Outlaw (1939) I found this on another movie/ "the 1939 movie serial was edited into a feature film entitled Planet Outlaws. Then it was edited again to feature length and titled Destination Saturn for syndication to television, in 1965. Finally, the serial was edited once again into a feature film format in the late 1970s, this version simply entitled Buck Rogers with the theatrical poster advertising, "Star Wars owes it all to Buck Rogers", and later was sold on videotape in the early 1990s by VCI Entertainment under the catalogue title of Planet Outlaws (which title, to make it appear legitimate, was also superimposed onto the first shot of film following the main titles). VCI released all twelve installments on DVD in September 2000. In November 2009, VCI released a special 70th-anniversary edition on DVD, with extras including "The History of Buck Rogers" by Clifford Weimer, a photo gallery and the 1935 Buck Rogers short feature originally shown at the 1933-34 Worlds Fair." ?

Johnny Wewoka old posting but you're right! as one posted, Flash Gordon first appeared in theaters in 1934, with a cliff hanger that made movie goers just have to return the next week to find out what happened!! each was 12 chapters long and were made until 1938, when Buddy got too old to play the brave young boy. this 1953 re release only added a 'modern' beginning. as I posted earlier. nobody had any idea how a rocket ship, able to carry passengers would be like, so audiences of that time were thrilled to see such futuristic serials but the writers imagination DID reach some! the 'televive' is now a reality, on ALL of our smart phones! the 'disolvo ray' is now the laser beam, adjustable to suit the need. I have a 4 box set of Flash Gordon on vcr tapes but saw this and thought I'd 'tune in' to see if there was a remake.. When I watch them,again, I always try to put myself as an audience member during those years and how marveled they must have been, which makes them even more enjoyable!!!

That's because 'Planet Out- laws' (1953) is in truth a Buck Rogers title of chap- ters from the 1930's.

Also there is this...we've got all our eggs in one basket. NOT an ideal situation for the long term (geologically speaking) survival of the human species.

@jackiereynolds2888

2 жыл бұрын

Well Paul, it may depend on whether you are 15 or 75 years old. But I think that you'll see the beginning of what you hope; the end of chemical propellants. Anyway, I think that the idea of propellants will age like the idea of living in caves. The answer I think will become getting-from-one-place-to-another, not using propellants to get from point A to point B. But as for the colonization of geography which lay out beyond our system, - I'm really sorry Paul, but that task (IF the opportunity presents itself) in-my-own-opinion will not be our lifetime, not in decades, not in a century. Provided we and our Earth both manage to avoid any one of countless and lethal calamities, - and we all do happen to still be here in ~ 2520, that still will probably not be the toughest of hurdles. Should we still be stuck with conventional travel, - time will be one hurdle. This of course presupposes that travel will end this way. I for one, think that our currently held convention about linear travel will be abandoned, Euclid's simplest geometry ("the shortest distance...") cannot even be proved ! I think that this will mean that straight lines of travel, our idea of dimension including time, our whole concept of distances, the limits, parameters, and the behavior of light. Speed and velocity and acceleration will hopefully all change. A hurdle which faces us may well be the need for multi-generational crafts (most probably you will die while in route and no one reaching a target system will not doubt ever return). Another hurdle will be the procurement, the research, and the development, and assembledge of learning and materials, feasability, opportunity, logistics, capability ..., what am I missing ? And I'm omitting the transportation of the sheer amount, the volume, and weight of materials that we will need to take with us of course. The technology, the sciences, the resources, and prodigious advancements in physics; speaking-of-which - I think that both Newton and Einstein's models for our physics may well turn out to be only parts among parts not parts of a whole. The two may even unify (but I think not) but I hope what is more likely is for the discovery of others ! Very esoteric mathematics describing other physical laws and phenomena which will be even far less likely to enjoy a familial relationship with our own. So I personally think that should these things happen, - the year 2520 may well even be too soon ! But Paul, why limit ourselves to a puny goal like just travel to another star ! Our entire system is but a pin-prick out upon one of the spiral arms of our Milky Way; that pin- prick is so small that it can not even be seen on an 8 by 11 glossy print ! Our solar system - our nearest star, maybe Alpha Centuri - just our own Milky Way galaxy - just our own teenie-weenie galaxy cluster - just a single one of our countless super clusters - a tiny one billion square light years of our puny amount of observable sky ! Just the universe we're able to see is only a pathetic ~ 100 billion light years across, - how about just that ! Then of course what we can see is no doubt just another pin-prick in the whole cosmos Well, our physics isn't even there; Philosophy is sure gonna take a beating. Even light is falling behind. It's too slow. We couldn't even reach a perimeter. By the time we got there it would no longer be there; Earth too would be long gone - if we could ever return, - and we couldn't, because if countless other things had not occured by that time, - then once that far out, we would continue to to be carried outward with the expansion of space alone - forever, no chance of ever getting back. But Paul by then we would probably be squished back down into countless more big-bangs - or become a part of new unknown physics and end up becoming our own history. And Paul, that's not even the beginning.

YEAR IS WRONG

There are just way too many silly things in this movie Even for 1953. But, I suppose, for the Saturday Matinees at our local hometown theatres, it's perfect for the young children to see such wonders from Hollywood. I wish (and I wished even then in 1954) that Hollywood had made their movies based upon Real Science and less on Hero Worship of fictional cowboys. Had Hollywood payed more attention to Real Science, we would have grown up with a more solid foundation of knowledge rather than crap
