looked spectacular, but in all honesty its probably the first time i would agree with the critics on a SF movie (which i generally love, having said that i had seen a run of duds leading up to it, the nazis on the other side of the moon thing, etc).

Yes Colin, there has been some duds lately, but then I personally think that films like Avatar (which I saw 5 times at the theatre) has raised the bar in terms of good sci-fi.
The worst duds for me are:
Battle for Los Angeles (this was just dreadful movie).
Skyline (too a much lesser extent, it was fair but below par).
I didn't see Battleship, as I thought that it would be fairly bad, judging from the storyline. However, I think that the biggest surprise in sci-fi movies in recent years was District 9. Strange movie but it turned out to be a great flick, I loved it.
Prometheus, raised the bar again.
