Hi,
My feeling is that it's probably going to remain the best scifif movie for decades; and i don't much care what anyone else thinks about it..... It's real scifi for one thing(not a popular thing), some of the bad guys are conservative politicians(something i like), and the #2 good guy (the boyfriend) is a conservative, which, believe it or not, i liked a lot(need to balance off the first thing i like, and it also offers verisimilitude). So my reasons are liking it are partly personal, partly because i have a taste for 'hard' scifi. Never heard a reviewer let on he knew what hard scifi was.
Now i also like 'Amazon Women of the Avocado Jungle' and i loved the first Muppet Movie, so take it FWIW :)
