  I was born in the same year, 1976, and I really don’t feel the same way. Pretty much every era has bangers and also really bad games.

  I have really good memories from the '80s (games like Pitfall II or the MSX Konami games), the '90s (playing MUDs with my college pals, the classic SNES JRPGs like Chrono Trigger or the classic PC CRPGs like Baldur’s Gate and its ilk), the '00s (games like Silent Hill 2, Morrowind or GTA: San Andreas), the '10s (pretty much every FromSoft game from that decade, NieR:Automata or the Rocksteady Batman games) and the '20s (games like Elden Ring, Hades, etc.). And many more games I didn’t mention.

  Some decades have been better than others, but there are incredible games in all of them.

  Usually when the word “original” is used in the context of media, it means it’s a new idea/concept/story, in opposition to an “'adaptation” from another media (like a movie to a videogame, or a book to a movie). This movie is an adaptation.

  I’m not criticizing your opinion, as I really like the movie too (including pacing and direction). Only the terminology.

  It’s not original, though it expands on Ted Chiang’s short story “Story of Your Life”.

  Though they’re a mix of sandstorm/thunderstorm (like in the movie), the Mad Max game from Avalanche.
