I think SF movies are bad for children. Children shouldn't be watching
science fiction movies, they
shouldn't even be reading science fiction books! That SF is like
futuristic fairy tales. Flying saucers do
not exist. In the universe there is no science fiction, it's all
non-fiction, it's real. There are no flying
saucers or ET's, and the writers don't even write accurate science. Let
the kid learn science first before
you throw all this SF garbage at him.
