You'll find that sci-fi has come on a lot since the Thirties.
The premise is stupid. I shall not attend.
How do you know the premise is stupid? Maybe toward the end of the
film, the reason why women became infertile is revealed.
I suppose it's revealed early on. The story concerns ONE woman who
somehow managed to get pregnant, who is immune to the plague or
whatever. She is the most valuable human on Earth and everyone wants to
get her, to get her child as they would be the last hope for mankind.
Her existence is a secret, and some guy has to get her from one place
to another intact.
The premise to Jurassic Park is in some ways stupid, but it's based on
a loosely valid concept, and doesn't make the "what if humans tried to
run a dinosaur safari" motif any less interesting.
I liked JP. The premise is reasonable and convincing. That of COM is
not.
Furthermore, it sounds reasonable to me that the onset of human
extinction would provoke war amongst some factions, especially
religious ones.
Go watch it and tell me what you think. It's coming out in a couple of
months.
