Now you have me very curious, though -- which half of The Empire Strikes Back did you find boring? I love your ways of summarizing them too.

Very retro and cool. The others, I have not seen. *gasp* I know! I've seen the original Star Wars once and none of the sequels or prequels.

But maybe it's lighter than people think sci-fi should be? That's odd that people classify it as fantasy. Anyway, it's light and funny, and Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881774.post-72019937077217591122014-05-06T16:26:26.907-04:002014-05-06T16:26:26.907-04:00P.S.

Serenity is another favorite of mine, and it would easily make my Top 10 as well. It is such an excellent continuation of the series! <br /><br />Equilibrium was a fun movie, and mixes the Matrix with Bradbury is a very accurate assessment of the film.
