Comforting science fiction (lemmy.world)

Which sci-fi titles (movies, books) do you consider comforting, cozy, something you come back to from time to time? For me, I guess it is The Matrix. Still holds up to this day, gets better with every re-watch, and gives me a sense of peace when I need it.

I don't know if I should upvote you for having it on your list or downvote you for not having watched it already...

[–] nodimetotie@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ok, don't downvote, I watched the movie!

The movie is great, but it makes more sense after you’ve watched the series.

But wasn't it cancelled? I'm not sure I want to watch something if the ending is missing.

I didn't feel a lack of closure. It was still a few years before mass serialization of TV so episodes are largely self contained. There's a movie that came out afterwards that gives some answers to a few questions that weren't wrapped up.

Agree. For me the problem with it ending too soon is mostly that I liked it and wanted more , but it wasn’t really a single overarching story that needed an ending.

Contrast it with Babylon 5 where the overall story arc was everything
