In Reply to: I would also like to add that the Matrix will probably be very... posted by Mrs. Piggy on October 28, 2002 at 17:47:56:
if I have to watch another slo-mo walks-on-walls and dodges-bullets scene, I'll die.Matrix, like '2001' and 'Star Wars' did more to destroy SF than any other films going. Hey Victor, I agree with you on the 2001 thing.
Once upon a time I read SF relentlessly, and it was the ideas in the stories that carried them (unfortunately seldom the characters). This has been refined, like white sugar, down into FX.
FX FX FX.
Cool for about the first 10 seconds, then its, been there, done that.
For me it's the ideas, not the images.

> > FX FX FX. < <Similar to the influence Alien has had, with all those monsters popping out of peoples’ chests. How often since Alien have we seen that one? (See the new Mike’s Hard Lemonade commercial, for instance.) I wonder how “influential” H.R. Geiger’s art would be wihtout Alien’s help?

Special effects should serve the story and the characterisation. It's the "idea" behind the effect that's interesting to me, withoutone, it's just so much visual wanking...a sad sign of the times that style and image is all.Geez - people see and collect movies for the effects. ARGH.
No ideas + no development = no movie, no matter how good the CGI.
(Thank God for Peter Jackson.)
