These bleak science fiction conclusions delve into big questions about right and wrong, destiny, and the nature of reality itself. They highlight how vulnerable people are, the increasing strength of technology, and the complexity of issues without simple answers. These endings challenge what viewers anticipate, leaving them unsettled. Often, the darker elements of sci-fi feel strikingly true to life, acting as either a cautionary tale or a reflection of our own world.
The story continues with Gael arriving, guitar in hand, and immediately running into Nathan’s arms. He’s visibly emotional, even shedding a few tears. However, the heartwarming reunion is somewhat dampened by his recent online posts expressing hateful and racist views. Aesha and Sandy are pleased to see Gael, though not as moved as Nathan. Joe is wary, remembering Gael’s disapproval of his past behavior towards women, and Kizzi is clearly irritated. Gael then shares what she’s been up to for the last ten months: she’s become a certified scuba-diving instructor and earned her yacht master 200 ton license, allowing her to captain various smaller boats. She’s really grown, and Sandy believes she could easily run her own ship one day.
Despite featuring a talented cast including Lauren Holly, Bruce Dern, William H. Macy, and Rob Schneider, the 1996 comedy Down Periscope wasn’t a hit with audiences or critics. It received very negative reviews, earning only an 11% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and barely made back its $31 million budget, grossing just $37.5 million.
King Casiodorus made an agreement with the dragon Vermithrax to offer her two young women each year as a sacrifice. However, others, like Valerian, wanted to kill the dragon and save these women.

I was pleasantly surprised by how Avatar: Fire & Ash changed my opinion of Neytiri. After The Way of Water (2023) left her in a difficult situation, I developed a theory about her. But a surprising plot point in Fire & Ash completely proved me wrong about the matriarch of the Sully family, as portrayed by Zoe Saldaña.
Computer-generated imagery (CGI) is truly amazing. Consider the movie Avatar: Fire and Ash – James Cameron used CGI to make Sigourney Weaver, who voiced a character, appear as a teenage Na’vi. It’s incredible what he can achieve! For the third Avatar film, Cameron digitally transformed the 72-year-old actress into Kiri, a blue alien. However, in their pursuit of a grand cinematic experience, they overlooked a key aspect of teenage life: romance. Kiri develops a romantic connection with Spider, played by Jack Champion, a human teenager living on Pandora, and they share a kiss. Importantly, Champion was actually a teenager himself – between 14 and 16 years old during filming – so Cameron and Weaver thoughtfully considered this detail.
