Directors and producers with no ideas of their own need to go back to reading science-fiction novels and short stories for their inspiration. I guess they are too lazy to do that now though.

That fucking gif lol.

And yeah, I dunno. If they did it in an interesting way, I'd at least maybe give it a chance, but this looks boring and basic as fuck.

There's absolutely no style and it doesn't look like there's anything unique to it, which makes it look even worse when it's compared to something by someone like Terry Gilliam.

Also, came across an assortment of Star Trek TNG novels, bit surprised that there were only 115 of them, minus spin-offs and what have you

I'm still surprised there hasn't really been a good adaptation of Lovecraft's shit. I was really hyped for Guillermo Del Toro's At the Mountains of Madness, but it sadly seems like a pipe dream now, which sucks because he really wants to make that freaking movie.

Also I'm surprised there's that many actually. Usually I don't see too many novel spinoffs for anything, the biggest probably being the Star Wars EU of course, but besides that when I think of novel tie-ins I think of like DnD and Warhammer.
