What Scifi Movie did you watch today?

[Sealurk]

The Abyss: Special Edition. Love this film, much more so than the theatrical release, even if the ending felt a bit...off. Despite being nearly three hours long, it's well paced and gripping.

The trauma and pain of the film's shoot (nervous breakdowns, lead actors nearly drowning, director being attacked - you know, the usual) does actually work in its favour, I think.

I just wish Cameron would make more films like this and fewer like Avatar.

Battle: Los Angeles

It was quite fun to watch.
I feel sad for the tanks (and crews), tho'.

Sphere. Fairly entertaining and interesting. I'm definitely in a deep sea mood at the moment. Anybody got any underwater sci-fi recommendations?

[DigiFluid]

I was really disappointed with Sphere. Completely failed to capture the book IMO.

As to watery adventures....The Abyss springs immediately to mind. One of the adaptations of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, the good version of The Poseidon Adventure...

Really? To be fair, I've never read the book, so I had nothing to compare it to and found the concept interesting enough. In the past I've found Michael Crichton's stuff to be a little impenetrable and hard work, but that was years ago, so I may give some of his stuff another go.

Watched it the other day. Absolutely love that film, one of Cameron's best.

Funnily enough, I've never seen or read (or heard, for that matter) any version of 20,000 leagues all the way through, nor Poseidon Adventure. I'll have to give both a go.

If you've had any trouble with Crichton's books I'd suggest going after the ones that are a bit more 'fluff' than others. I've never actually managed to get through some of his more dense works (like The Andromeda Strain or Airframe), but other stuff is quite good.

Jurassic Park (the film) was a great adaptation, but the book had enough extra going on to make it even better. The Lost World (the book) was all kinds of awesome, even though the movie basically ignored all but the most basic premise of Site B, and sucked horribly as a result. Sphere (the movie) tried very hard to capture the book, but fell flat (for me, anyway) because so much of the storytelling is cerebral in nature, what with what the sphere does to them and all. I thoroughly enjoyed all three of those books.

Moon. That is all. Sam Rockwell = Awesome. That is also all.

SG-1: Continuum. Good, but I preferred AOT.

Sucker Punch

It's not actually sci-fi, but the visuals are kinda there...
Nice movie.
The story is simple enough, but the presentation is quite interesting.

Methinks the people behind this are, among other things, RPGers (probably even frustrated RPGers who never got their GMs/DMs to go 'anachronistic' or 'over-the-top' )
and anime fans.

Thought Crimes

Was pretty good. I decided to MyStar (Tivo) it.
It felt really short though.
And I did just watch it because of Joe Flanigan. What of it?

[VampyreWraith]

Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore - It's not really sci-fi (like a lot of my movie choices), but whatever lol. I thought it was cute, funny movie. I liked this better than the first one since the cats aren't all evil villians. I think dogs are ok, but I'm a cat person so I don't think kittys are evil lol

The Echo - I thought it was pretty creepy, the ending was a bit blah though; it felt like a non-ending to me, and not even the good kind of non ending.

Dorian Gray - I really liked it a lot.
