I had to do it. I'm a science fiction fan and it's been a while since I've seen a good sci-fi flick. Yes, I dragged my wife to the theatre and saw a recently released spaceship/action movie. When I viewed the previews of giant insects and battling space marines, I thought for sure I'd like it. But I was definitely unprepared for the visual assault. The special effects were pounding my senses and I felt uncomfortable. I don't recommend taking your children to see most movies these days, for in addition to the gratuitous violence, they almost always throw in unexpected and unnecessary nude scenes. I closed my eyes and was quite annoyed because they normally don't put such filth in science fiction movies. I was raised on Star Wars and other innocent productions. (Society's standards just keep getting more polluted, don't they?)
In my time I've read quite a lot of novels dealing with science fiction, space colonization, aliens, conquering the galaxy, etc... But it never really quite hit me, until seeing this movie, that we as Muslims had better pay attention to more than just what's here on earth.
It's funny, really, when you think about it. Islam is the most suppressed ideology on earth. There is not one single country that is based solely on standard Islamic teachings. There is no society that reflects even a hint of the Islamic ethos and no culture which promotes Islam as a viable way of life, independent of ignorant local customs.
