Comicscape: Wanted vs. Wanted - Jul 03, 2008 - 08:00am
Ebert call this movie "mindless, heartless, and preposterous." Call me old fashioned, but I would think that at the very least a flick has to have at least have some internal logic, some human connection, some way to connect the viewer to what he's seeing. Otherwise, what's the point? Have we gotten to the point where all we care about are special effects? I might as well skip the movie advertisement and go straight to the video game.

Now that I think about it, I think you're right about Roddenberry, joeybaloney. I seem to remember it was also a criticism at the time, but I may be wrong. It was a long time ago. Are you sure you're old enough to remember it directly. :-) You're right about no information to really speculate, but what kind of fun is that? I doubt if they're visiting other planets between here and the nearest star. Any planets will be hard to detect. -- sunless, frozen rock. Traveling at half the speed of light the interstellar medium could offer some plot twists in the form of hull charging, shock waves etc. I assume they're not using ""warp" drive since they're below the speed of light. Perhaps in the future we discover an energy derived from the life force. The virtual existence could provide a way to tap into this energy source which is used to power the ship. Because the engines are taping into the life force, a virtual death could suddenly pull all the life force into the engines, causing the hapless crew member to die ... or something like that.

Haven't you heard? 60 is the new 40. Ms Weaver would do fine. What they need is a freaking STORY. In my humble opinion, the sequels went the wrong way with the whole concept. They went dark instead of the kick-butt survival, horror sci-fi flick they did so well. Ripley needs to kick some butt again but this time with a spanking brand new concept that still sticks to the alien menace angle. It has to go that way because without another mind-bending sci-fi surprise that grabs you in the gut, it's just another horror movie.
