nope total bullshit, killing off Padme was a huge smack in the face to true star war fans. Lucas could have totally used the part where Darth struck her down and left her for dead and be done with it. That would have been truly embracing the dark side. Hell the whole ending would have worked on a much better level. Instead we just get a lukewarm (ha) ending where darth was still expecting padme to still be hanging around waiting for him???. stupid.

I kinda have to give up some cred to A.I.

While I personally think it was a messy film and badly needed editing, the concept was actually pretty sound and could have been a great sci fi movie.

I personally dont care for speilberg, he usually bloated and he is here also. but the idea and what is trying to be stated does come across, how the things humanity makes takes on the humanity that humans have lost works in the last scenes but it doesn't flow with the rest of the movie.

Best sci-fi anything of the 2000s is Battlestar Galactica. The End.

WELL YEAH BSG WILL RULE FOR THE NEXT DECADE.

If you count TV it's propably 'Battlestar Galactica', otherwise I'd say 'Sunshine'.

Anxiety said:

I would't call Donnie Darko sci-fi, but it is definitely one of this decade's best movies!

I LOVE Battlestar Galactica. If I have to pick a favourite episode, it would be the one where they meet Battlestar Pegasus.

As far as movies go, there hasn't been any real great sci-fi films, but I liked The Chronicles Of Riddick Director's Cut. So that would probably be my favourite.

I also really liked the arena sequence in Star Wars: Attack Of The Clones.

And then Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith would be my third choice.

I happen to love that movie, but I can't watch it, it upsets me too much

kcwm said:

i just re-watched the first matrix, it is such a good movie. i agree about the sequels, parts of them looked like cartoons.

garganta said:

I watched two episodes of BSG back when it started and couldn't stomach it. Not only that, but the camerawork gave me a splitting headache.

My favorite choice for Sci-Fi anything of the 2000s is Doctor Who followed by Torchwood.

right off the top of my head...War of the Worlds and The Happening

I have to disagree I think that BSG is one of the best things that has been reworked. Granted it doesn't have the same kitschy feel of the original, but it stands alone as one of the best things that TV has ever done.

Its bloody brilliant.

Exactly

lazycrockett said:

how is my opinion bullshit? it's what i feel. you're entitled to what you feel, but i call bullshit on your "bullshit".

So does no one know 'Sunshine' or does no one agree?

Donnie Darko

princeiscool said:

sunshine was good. it could get tedious at times, but it was very pretty to look at.

Anxiety said:

I liked the quiet in it, wish there had been more of that

ZombieKitten said:

Couldn't you just watch it with the sound turned down?

Pitch Black

noepie said:

Oh, right. Yes, that was a GREAT movie. Loved it!

I saw Wall-E last night

ZombieKitten said:

oh, right. that's sci-fi. i liked that one, too.

Wall-e
Minority Report (saw it with Prince!)
War of the Worlds
Signs
Children of Men
Donnie Darko (despite it's student film trappings like the Tears for Fears part)
Sunshine (just jarring with great sound)

I'm sure there are more...
