Have you read Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie
Personally, it's my favorite SF of the last few years. It's actually the first of her Imperial Radch trilogy. If it's a trilogy. Oh wait, there's more!! I'm gonna shut up and read!!!

I loved The Martian.
I go through sci-fi phases: I read it for a while, then I take a break, then I come back to it.

I've always loved good sci-fi. Especially if it's something plausible.

I love some sci-fi, especially if it contains elements of the paranormal.

I like some sci-fi and not other sci-fi (e.g., I never cared for [i]Dune[/i] but I love [i]Star Trek[/i])
And I love a mind-bending film like [i]Interstellar[/i]
What I don't care for so much is fantasy stuff like [i]Lord of the Rings[/i], [i]Harry Potter[/i], that sort of thing, and not so much on supernatural stuff (yeah, I give Jedi stuff a pass though) ... don't even really care for mythological stuff like [i]Clash of the Titans[/i] that much ... aside from sci-fi I generally prefer reality-based stuff in a contemporary, near future or recent past (up to like the 1960s) time frame

@SW-User I didn't enjoy Dune either. I dislike supernatural and paranormal stuff as well. Apollo 13 was a good movie.

The book was a good read. But the problem with long stories like Dune, is the trim out many of the subplots that make the main story better.
On the other hand, Sci-fi movies base on shorter books tend to be better.
“Minority Report” , for example, goes in the opposite direction of the short story ( there is actually no such thing as a minority report). But I love the movie. Same with “Paycheck” and “Bladerunner” Phillip K Dick translates well to film.
