Today , we whisper our secret hatred of beloved films into the ignorant winds , gather a superintendent - team of the speculative mentors ever to give down a piece of terrible advice , and predicted when the geek - bubble would come crash down on all of our point ( wait for it , hold off for it , and … )
InMorning Spoilers , commenterDaniel M. Clarksurveyed the crowd upcoming medium landscape painting ( Fantastic Four ! The Secret Service ! Assassin ’s Creed ! ) and say a engagement for the hammer to fall : 2015 . “ Nothing is going to perform as well as it should , ” he say , “ and everyone will exalt the death of of mirthful book and science fable based movies .

So … are you say we ’re search at Peak Geek ?
2015 might end up being a repetition of 1984 , when there were a ton of high-pitched - profile , expensive genre movies like Greystoke , Last Starfighter , Dune , and 2010 , all of which had been greenlighted during the post - Star Wars SF / phantasy boom of the previous ’ 70s and other ’ 80s . The challenging movies give out at the box office , with the clear successes being comedy - genre hybrids like Ghostbusters and Gremlins , and downcast - budget genre movies like Terminator with mostly traditional military action sequences ( i.e. , no space battles ) . In fact , if you look at the rest of the ’ LXXX and much of the ’ 90s , there really were n’t many “ pure ” SF movies with a futuristic or otherworldly set until The Matrix and Phantom Menace , and epical phantasy did n’t even exist as a moving picture writing style until Fellowship of the Ring a couple of year after that ( despite a cluster of abortive endeavour in the ’ 80s like Willow ) . Even revolutionary event movies like Jurassic Park underscore the actual man set over the music genre elements .
So we might be looking at a repeat of the era , when lavish literary genre motion-picture show give way to mainstream action vehicle like Rambo , Top Gun , Lethal Weapon , cash in one’s chips Hard , etc .
