Hilarious when a dude goes off surfing in space. Like on a surfboard from a spaceship.

334464 2005-03-17 08:52:00 Gattaca pretty cool, art deco space ships!
I, Robot = worst sci-fi movie of recent times, only thing it shared with the book was the name - very good rant on the web about this eye candy somewhere but can't find it @ the mo
Best sci fi book(s) = Foundation series by Asimov

334466 2005-03-17 23:54:00 "Enemy Mine" is one of my favourites - Not really known for it's sci-fi genre but a real feel good story none the less

Best has to be Matrix (although the 2nd & 3rd tainted the first due to sheer stupidity) followed by any Star Wars movie.

334467 2005-03-17 23:55:00 that would be i-robot

the original book was way better, very different story to I think

The only things left in this movie from Asimov's robot series is the name and the laws of robotics -- which the movie promptly throws out the window.

I hated it.

Likewise I think Minority Report is a very over-rated movie. I'm especially irked by the ending where the "murder" plot is revealed. It makes no sense within the logic of the situation as laid out by the rest of the movie. They set up a situation and came up with an inadequate way of resolving it. That said, it's a far better movie than I-Robot.

2001
Solaris (both ortinal Russian and American remake version)
Bladerunner
Twelve Monkeys
The Day the Eath Stood Still
Forbidden Planet
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
Invaders from Mars (there was a great remake done in the 80s)
The Matrix (only the first one - they should have left it there)
Metropolis - great silent movie
Alien and Aliens (forget the rest)
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
The Terminator and Terminator 2 (forget 3)

334468 2005-03-18 00:15:00 Planet of the Apes (the original film with NRA prez Charlton Heston as lead). Probably one of the best ever endings.

Also Soylent Green with Edward G Robinson's final scene.

Blade Runner (I still need to see the director's cut version)

Voyage to the Center of the Earth (with James Mason)

The Black Hole (Walt Disney film)

334469 2005-03-18 00:18:00 I refused to even consider watching I,Robot after discovering it to be a Will Smith movie,


Should have stayed in Bel Air....

334470 2005-03-18 00:21:00 Blade Runner (I still need to see the director's cut version)

It's better than the original. A good example of a "director's cut" versus the modern trned to release a "director's cut" as an excuse to get a second bite a DVD sales i.e. Hellboy, King Arthur ....

Yeah forgot Planet of the Apes, excellent. Wish I could forget the Tim Burton remake too ....

334471 2005-03-18 00:53:00 Just recalled another favourite: Geoff Murphy's Quiet Earth, starring the late Bruno Lawrence. A fairly similar recent movie was the very good 28 Days. vinref (6194)
