Battleship!

I went to see Battleship today and it's AWESOME, FANTASTIC!



Seriously, go and see it in the cinema. The story is intriguing, the humor surprising, the action breath-taking and the CGI stunning. The patriotism is a bit too rubbed in for my liking but I can deal with that. The rest is simply... Wow! People like to compare it to Transformers because it's from Hasbro too, but it's much better!

I just love movies about tactics. The part where Hopper (Taylor Kitsch) and Nagato (Tadanobu Asano) put their heads together and came up with a tactic how to destroy the alien ships gave me goosebumps! And when Hopper then destroyed the mothership, the scene with the anchor... *bounces* That was so cool!

Man, I literally can't wait to get my hands on this film and watch it again! I'm definitely buying it on DVD as soon as it's available. Gosh, gosh, gosh! *bounces some more*

9 stars out of 10

Farscape 101+102

I felt like watching sci-fi again! And out of the pile of unwatched DVDs, I pulled out Farscape. I've never actually seen the show in its entirety. I saw bits and pieces on SAT1 back when, but never more than a handful of episodes.

I love the main music theme. It's fantastic! It feels like a mix of classical music and tribal rhytms. Very original.

I also love the female characters in this show, both Aeryn and Zhaan. I was really surprised when Zhaan pulled this:



Her body looks so androgynous. I think it's really awesome. You know, that they didn't choose a busty female to show around. Very original. And she's gorgeous. And they both, Aeryn and Zhaan, kick major ass!

And it's awesome that Crichton is a thinker, not a fighter! Nice change of dynamics from the usual cliché...

The only character that really gets on my nerves is Rygel. Eh...

In case you're wondering what other space faring sci-fi shows I own on DVD: Stargate SG-1, Stargate Atlantis, Battlestar Galactica (the old one), Babylon 5, Star Trek: Enterprise. I also plan to buy Star Trek: Voyager (once Amazon UK drops the price!) because I just love Chakotay!
