What Scifi Movie did you watch today?

[Alan Wake]

Just finished RoboCop 2 - I know I should have more self-respect than to watch it, but I needed another RoboCop fix and I only recently watched the first one. Whether my self-esteem will drop low enough to allow me to watch RoboCop 3 without putting a brick through the TV is another thing altogether. At least R2 has a handful of redeeming features.

Gotta admit, I quite enjoyed Lost in Space, thought it was enjoyable and entertaining. Plus, Gary Oldman's in it, so that's an automatic +100 points...

ahh, I forgot about robo cop. I need to see it again sometime soon!

Also, I hear a remaking is in the making.

Sadly, yes. To me, RoboCop is a classic that shouldn't be touched. It is a phenomenal film, but the studios just can't leave anything alone these days. Expect the updated Casablanca starring Hugh Jackman and Charlize Theron any day now...

Actually, the remake may have stalled. There seems to be a lot of fan opposition (I have nothing to do with it, I swear...well, maybe just one or two angry mobs, but thats it) to a remake, the owners of the franchise (MGM) are of course in trouble, and the buzz now is that they want to make a 3D film based on the success of Avatar, so it has been put on the backburner. With any luck, that'll prevent it from ever being made.

Now, in all seriousness, if they wanted to do a sequel, one that neatly bypasses Robo 2, 3, the Series and Prime Directives, or at least only vaguely acknowledges their existence (sort of like the way The Incredible Hulk follows on from Hulk, or Superman Returns follows on from Superman 2), I'd be jumping for joy. But the first film is too good to mess with I think.

I liked Robocop 2. It certainly wasn't as awesome as the first, but I still enjoyed it. 3 is best forgotten.

I haven't seen Prime Directives, but from what I've heard it wasn't bad.

As a standalone, RoboCop 2 probably isn't that bad. As a sequel to the first, I don't think there's any comparison, and that's why I might be a little hard on it - I watched RoboCop only a few days ago. It's a shallow imitation that completely misses the point, but you're right, it is at least fun. Robocop 3 was an abomination.

Prime Directives was...poor. I think, anyway. It had some good ideas, but the guy playing Robo completely disregarded Peter Weller's exceptional performance. Hell, Richard Eden from the TV series was actually a pretty good replacement (even if the kiddy friendly family fun concept completely ruined it) - I'd even take Robert "Robocop 3" Burke over Page Fletcher.

Dune was on channel 5(UK) today so I watched that.

[Alan Wake]

The only thing I dislike about Robocop, is the graphics.

Everything else about the film is great, but the graphics are horrible... by any stranded.

At times it's like I'm watching Rudolph the red nosed reindeer, the clay animation version.

80s action movie violence is epic. I wish modern films were still doing things that way

[Alan Wake]

Watching Jeepers Creepers on syfy.

I forever hate this movie because it freaks me out.

[McClance]

I watched Star Trek: First Contact today.

[AresLover452]

I watched all of Tin Man and now I am watching Alice

[MIZA]

well the other day i was watching The Time Travelers Wife , very good movie , but kind of weird too

[AresLover452]

Currently watching THE MATRIX

[Sealurk]

Just finished Land of the Lost. Watchable enough. Humour was a bit puerile and infantile, but the film was still reasonably funny (the mosquito made me laugh a lot for some reason). But hey, Anna Friel's in it, so it's an automatic watch for me!

[AresLover452]

I just watched the Movie RIVERWORLD. it was actually pretty good.

[Commander Zelix]

Carriers.

Depressing way to spend an hour and a half, for sure. Great stuff.

That is some great movie. Someone on the web described it as the anti-zombie movie and I think its a proper description.

Spoiler:

Killing a zombie children is not a tough decisions. What about letting a infected child die? Having no zombies but real human being is so much more horrific than any eating the brain stuff you can imagine.

What's funny about this movie for me is that I watched the whole movie (many months) after having watch the new Star Trek. And I didn't even recognized Chris Pine in it (while he's completely physically recognizable I must say). He did a great job on that movie.

Also in that movie Christopher Meloni from SVU.

Nice post apocalyptic "psychological" setting. Survival of the fittest stuff.
