Hi, I like my sci-fi "hard" (Greg Bear being my fave author) but if I'm watching a film, I want eye candy, I want explosions, cinematic vistas, cool looking guns & aliens, spaceships, and babes! Lots and lots of babes... :) "5th element" was good, so was "independance day" (though a bit lacking on the babe front :) AI was passable, but I can't help feeling that the short story would have been better. later jb
