The only film from modern times that compares with the oldies is "The Matrix" --but that's more of a Kung-Fu film than SF...

I would recommend a movie called Dark City, from maybe six years ago. It is like The Matrix without the kung fu. Really excellent flick.

I second that. "Dark City" was very well done with an ending you would never see coming...

Oh yes! That was a very good movie, a 9 out of 10 on the Ronzo scale. Only thing, it was a bit TOO Dark, not a joke or laugh in the whole thing. I like movies that mix serious with silly, which the original three Star Wars movies did very well.

But there is one thing that Dark City had that no other SF movie has, her:

Any movie with Jennifer Connelly in it automatically gets a +8 minimum on the Ronzo scale...

I've been a fan of hers ever since "The Rocketeer"
