I read Philip K. Dick's Crack in Space written in 1966 and I saw so many 60's issues in the story. For one it's full of the Civil Rights issues of the day. Also, I remember a fashion designer once saying that all scifi stories are really about the present not the future citing all the sixties style costume and set design in Star Trek The Original Series. It's hard to write outside of the issues of the day, but I enjoy it more when a story achieves that.
Just saw I, Frankenstein. It was based on a graphic novel I found out in the credits. It wasn't bad. I saw it on IMAX 3D and I began to wonder why I would see any big visual movie like this any other way. The effects were stunning. Short synopsis: The Monster and a pretty scientist are caught up in a battle between angelic Gargoyles and Demons in business suits.
