Sci-Fi Wallpaper

Rating: Null/10 (25 January 2002)

There are three possible reasons why people would like this movie--#1]They saw it when it was first released and it reminds them of their youth #2]They have only recently became interested in Science Fiction and are unable to differentiate between good and bad #3] They are of the modern "short attention span" generation who require constant action and cannot be bothered to deal with difficult or challenging concepts. Star Wars is NOT Science Fiction; it is at best Space Pantomime, and at worst Science Parody The plot [?] can be written on the back of a bus ticket; Princess is kidnapped by evil aliens and is rescued by mixed bag of freaks the villain [boo hiss he"s behind you!] is a tall geezer with asthma who wears a crash helmet. Contrast this with "The War Of The Worlds" [better acting,stunning effects,better story]or "The Terminator" [ditto,and it was truly HARD sci-fi] and you will get my drift! Sorry to rain on your parade Star Wars fans but only gets 5/10 P.S The robots were rubbish.
