Captain’s Log

ould you jump into the future to fight a war to save a world you might not live to see? Many might argue that we’re living inr did give me a lot to think about – not least because it was a rare occasion where I was seeing something (albeit with some familiar sci-fi and horror nods) that I genuinely felt could open up to future adventures and other strange new worlds. It was an unexpected moment of freshness after a lot of repetition. Don’t get me wrong, I love being spoilt for choice – even if it means we struggle to get a lot of that into a magazine every month – but, particularly on top of a pandemic, it does feel like there’s been some treading water. Here’s to the future, basically. Even if it’s populated by aliens. is one of films that’s been stuck in the cycle of delay, and there’s a few of those in this issue. Another sign that better days are ahead (again, pending alien disclaimer) – surely we’re in a new world if is actually being released, right? And while it’s brilliant that we have fantastic new films and series, what’s even brilliant is the stuff that’s just around the corner. Seeing production teams working to complete these under industry-changing conditions has been inspirational and humbling. We truly are spoiled. The future’s looking bright… See you in four weeks!
