So, I’m confused by Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Both the movie and the new Cartoon Network TV show.
Okay - Episodes 1 - 3 were about making George Lucas tons more money. As a side note, they were also intended to show us the descent of Anakin Skywalker from annoying little child savant to evil [...]
Ventured out this morning to check out the new James Bond flick. I hit the 10:45 show and was surprised to find the theater pretty well full!
I was looking forward to both the flick and the trailers, as I haven’t been to the movies in a bit. One of the online articles I read mentioned [...]
Farscape
“Once upon a time there was a boy named John and John was an astronaut. He lived in a far away place called Earth which is so far away you’ve never heard of it. One day when John was out doing astronaut things a big, blue wormhole gobbled him up and spat him out at [...]
Battlestar Galactica
Your colony worlds have been destroyed or devastated by nuclear attack.
Your military has been eliminated by an enemy that can simply turn off your ships and pick them off one by one while they float, harmlessly, through space.
You have exactly 50,000 survivors left and one very old Battlestar to protect them from two enemy [...]
Star Wars: Episode IV
This was it - the battle to end all battles. The Rebel Alliance sending snub fighters against the Empire’s most powerful weapon ever: The Death Star!
What? You telling me you couldn’t bullseye something the size of a wamprat with your T16?
This battle set a tone for every space battle that followed it. [...]
Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
This is visually one of the coolest space battles ever.
In orbit over Coruscant the forces of the Republic battle the Separatists who’ve somehow managed to kidnap Chancellor Palpatine. The Jedi Knights Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker are tasked with saving him so they have to make it through [...]
Serenity.
If you haven’t seen Serenity yet, well, leave. Just leave. I mean, honestly - what the hell?
The battle between the Alliance Armada and the Reavers is intense. It happens so fast you have a difficult time keeping up. Serenity is weaving in and out, Reavers are ripping up Alliance cruisers (thankfully redesigned from the tv [...]
When you look at the scifi movie landscape, what puts butts in the seats?
The answer most authors want to hear is a ‘good story’. But, honestly, while a good or even a great story really will bring butts to the seats, a massive and shiny space battle is what we remember when it’s all over [...]
Well. What can I say about this other than it is unbelievable! I picked it up tonight on the way home from work and manoman - this kicks ass!
This is probably the best animated Batman since Batman: The Animated Series debuted back in the day. That was 1992, to be specific.
This [...]
I remember Elfquest. I only have a couple of issues hidden away somewhere in my collection and those were difficult to get. What’s amazing to me is how long the series has been going on and yet I was nowhere near aware of it as I probably should’ve been. I seem to recall [...]
