You know why Will Smith is the most commercially successful film star in recent memory? Because he acknowledged that some of the most commercially successful films of all-time ARE sci-fi movies!!! I swear, if there's any movie studio that succeeds in spite of itself more than any other studio, it's 20th Century Fox.
