Hi,
My feeling is that it's probably going to remain the best scifif movie for decades; and i don't much care what anyone else thinks about it..... It's real scifi for one thing(not a popular thing), some of the bad guys are conservative politicians(something i like), and the #2 good guy (the boyfriend) is a conservative, which, believe it or not, i liked a lot(need to balance off the first thing i like, and it also offers verisimilitude). So my reasons are liking it are partly personal, partly because i have a taste for 'hard' scifi. Never heard a reviewer let on he knew what hard scifi was.
Now i also like 'Amazon Women of the Avocado Jungle' and i loved the first Muppet Movie, so take it FWIW :)

        ***their was such a wonderful sense of humanity...***
        Asimov humanized robots by endowing them with a moral code of conduct, i.e.,
        The Three Laws of Robotics. - AH

        I recommend "Asimov's Galaxy: Reflections On Science Fiction" - 1989
        Doubleday; if you haven't already read it. It's excellent -
        a collection of 66 essays which appeared as editorials in Issac
        Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine from August 1981 to Mid-December
        1985. - AH
        
        It's only avaliable in hardcover from Amazon for $15.00(nt) - CarlEber 19:47:59 08/23/01 (0)
