Some people hate science fiction. Not me!
My sister didn't like The Martian and would never consider watching a cool movie like Avatar. My mother thought sci-fi is stupid too. 👽 It's one of my favorite genres.

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

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.
