Accident? Not a hidden conspiracy to create a new enemy to demonise in order to maintain effective control of the populace?

I think a few people here need to re-read 1984

Event Horizon - i love this film. stuff of nightmares.

One of the very few films that still makes me extremely uncomfortable. Top stuff.

Loads of great movies on this thread!

The planet of the Apes (Schaffner)
2001
20 000 leagues under the sea : great adaptation of Jules Verne's story, trip in the mystic garden of the deep, a disenchanting James Mason and funny Kirk Douglas
SpeciaI effects were not such huge, however...

Considering the 5th element and Besson's filmography in general : easy way, demagogy, outdated...

The fact that so many people see Starship Troopers as nothing more than a gung-ho war movie full of splattered bugs proved that it worked

I loved the fact that every shot of the "web-browser" interface had "Join Up!" as one of the buttons on every page...

The original 1988 english dubs is IMO the best.

dub and best do not belong together in the dsame sentance

dub = shit

((dub))

Aeon Flux. The Animated Short. Was ground breaking.

i thought it was kinda shit

certainly not what i'd call a notable bit of scifi animation

if you had heard some of stuff i have heard you wouldn't be bracketing

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

i thought it was kinda shit

Yeah, not even that good for the time. Maybe only considered as such because there was not much animation in the west apart from scooby doo, and disney.

Gattaca - i remember seeing this and expecting the worse but was pleasantly surprised on quality of the plot. loved the message in this film and is one of fav sci fi's.

Natural City - kinda like the follow-up to Blade Runner...

It was quite pretty if you like that style.

[Shippou-Sensei]

maybe i'm just a bit spoilt when it comes to sci-fi animation

i mean you had akira and honnamise in the late 80's with eva and GITS in... 95 i think... any of those are just ..... incomparable to summin like aeon

The original dialogue free 3 minute shorts of Aeon Flux which first appeared as part of MTV's Liquid Television show were fantastic and I'd happily take them over any anime or the time, both in terms of filmmaking and design.

The half our episode TV series was rubbish and tedious though.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

thats what i saw ... dialog free shorts ... i don't think of them as anything special.... perhaps it was partly due to my dislike of the art ... but i also felt that there was no real depth... at least none perceptable by me...(lol... yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi)... mind you it's been a while since i saw em

 

[Reno]

I liked the character designs because they were strongly influenced by Egon Schiele, a favourite artist of mine. Not sure how much dept you want in a three minute cartoon, the whole thing was supposed to be quite abstract. I thought they were quite clever in the way they dealt with perception vs reality and how they used repetition in a way where certain actions became like musical themes.

 

[Shippou-Sensei]

the premise sounds intresting but i just wasn't touched by the final product

i just re watched the pilot and a episode online.... for the time period it kinda intresting.... but i still doesn't really speak to me in a way other shows have
