... all my anxiety is placed firmly on the next generation F/X trill inside a fun believable (well as much as sci-fi can be) plot. It's like Star Trek with homo-sapians instead of walking androids (it's said when Spoc & Data are the most 3-D human characters).I want that feeling when I first saw the Empire's battleship, pull its way onto the screen that positively ruined me for films to follow. A typical space ship is being hunted by something off screen. Then the case ship enters... As the ship kept going & growing, I knew I wasn't on Earth anymore. I wonder if George has something extra revolutionary up his sleeve, or if this film is simply technologically evolutionary like that recent Keanu Reeve's flick Matrix (which was good, although, predictable)?
