Logan Reed

Let's face it. If an American would have made those movies they would have looked a lot different. Then we'd have some cookie cutter stories.
Ethan Sanders
Most of MEU in that movie was black though
Christian Hughes

The Fifth Element by Luc Besson was pretty good.
When France makes good films it's an American French movie, when it's bad it's a french fim.
Gabriel Peterson
That's like the only good French sci-fi thing since Jules Verne.
Noah Reed
Make way for New Zealand kino
Carson Sanchez
liked it but I didn't know that it's German
Luis Edwards
I don't know if you would even say the US is "good", just we produce such a high volume that we're bound to get a few hits.
Jose Clark

What has Japan done other than anime? The only Japanese novelist I know about is that one who tried to start a coup
Ryan Taylor
this scared me a lot when I was a kid
Logan Ramirez
That's pretty much all of the countries that matter.
What a surprise.
Samuel Turner
Novelists? Don't know. You don't hear too much about them. I think Japanese scifi sort of merged into manga and anime.
Novels seem to be the domain of the likes of Dazai and Haruki Murakami--i.e. ground in reality rather than fiction.
At least, as for anime there are plenty of scifi that isn't just garbage mecha shovelware.
More recently:
Time of Eve - youtube.com
Pale Cocoon - youtube.com
Patema Inverted - youtube.com
Dennou Coil - youtube.com
There are some that I've left out because while they do fit, they're more action/adventure romps, or tackle a different set of topics than the typical hard scifi.
Carter Gonzalez
Canadian sci fi is some of the best
Grayson Garcia
Markets are universally like that. You can't discount the works of amazing authors just because of their country of origin.
If this is the logic you are applying, then Japan should have it worse than us, because they shovel out ``sci-fi'' mecha garbage at significantly higher rates than we do of scifi in general.

Lucas Foster
>tfw we will never get a good movie based on Lem's or Strugasky brothers books
Why does cinema even exist.
Lucas Williams
I haven't read any of those nor do I know what they're about, but if you've got a good director, there's a good possibility that the movie could be government funded for cultural pissing contest purposes
Anthony Anderson
Russians aren't good at science fiction, only Soviets were.
Leo Reed
Remember that one time when Russians where suddenly replaced by bolsheviks then soviets and the back by russians? I still don't know what happened.
Chase Reyes
Dumb post.
Science fiction has been a dead literary genre since the Soviet times. It's only gaining traction again in recent years and only in pop media.
