Re: CGI is killing sci-fi
And yet we've had some excellent concept Sci-Fi film of late, such as Moon. The lowered cost of filming, editing and SFX also means that there is a wealth of interesting independent sci-fi films that may have flown below your radar. Just don't expect them from Disney on a huge multiplex in Summer.

(Before digital filming, just a movie's worth of black and white filmstock might cost around $10,000, a high bar for a self-teaching director)
