It’s been a big summer for science fiction movies, both in
the sense of the number of options, as well as sheer size and spectacle. We’ve
had giant robots (Transformers: Age of Extinction), giant
prehistoric monsters (Godzilla), and giant movie stars like
Tom Cruise (Edge of Tomorrow). And this isn’t even taking
into account a swarm of super smart monkeys (Dawn of the Planet of theApes) that recently arrived, or the gang of adolescent turtles
(Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) and the talking raccoon in
deep space (Guardians of the Galaxy) that are yet to arrive.
