Intelligent women get sci-fi just fine, thank you.

Whew. I was wondering when you were going to defend yourself against these chauvanists.

What excites you most about this movie? The 7 minute walk to the moon craft, or the 12 minute flight to gather his dead friends body?

Perhaps it was the 8 minutes of shifted colors of the Grand Canyon on his way to 'infinity'?

I know sci-fi, this was sci-fail.

Will you next tell me Blade Runner is not a 'true sci-fi' movie but rather a 'space wes ...[text shortened]... Give me a list of movies that fit the criteria of sci-fi by your definition, please.

P-

Serenity, the offshoot of Firefly, for one.

saying someone is intelligent or unintelligent for liking/not liking a certain movie/tv genre is ridiculous.

Oh, contraire, mon frere.

I said "unintelligent women do not get sci-fi", not "if a woman does not get sci-fi, then she is unintelligent". I'm sure you can see the difference.

And I also said nothing about preference. I was talking about understanding. I'm sure you can see that difference too.

Serenity was awesome.

So was Firefly. Too bad it was only on for one short season.

I have the Firefly: The Complete Series on DVD, and pull one out once in a while. It was a great series. They are replaying them now on the SyFy channel.

the best scifi movie ever made. FACT!

It's up there at the top. If you twist my arm a lot, I'd have to pick Blade Runner, though.

Do you need to see Firefly to enjoy Serenity?

Nobody who says this can be a lover of cinema. Sorry, your reviewer sucks.

Perhaps the guy who wrote that review wasn't a fan of 13 minute walks to a spaceship or 8 minutes of pictures of the grand canyon with the colors adjusted.

Ohhh, sure... lots of people 'like' cinema... but no one appreciates it as much as YOU DO!~ So cool.

I didn't say that. Did I chide you for not liking 2001? No. I love it, but I understand is not everyone's cup of tea.

You don't think that the phrase I quoted is pretty ridiculous? How can you like cinema when you dismiss its images?

no, it's sort of like a pilot for the series, so they tell you everything you need to know. serenity's your basic well done entertaining space action movie.

Sorry, your name is very similar to another guy I often banter with.

Why do you hate the Grand Canyon?
