I was over at Signals1982's brother's place on the weekend and we got talking about 2112 and he says I need to borrow Equilibrium off him. Very amazing Sci-Fi movie. Christian Bale was excellent.

war2112 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 Definitely "The Lathe of Heaven". Sci-fi story written by Ursula K. Le Guin. It's about one man's dreams becoming reality and being used by a dictator/doctor to establish a socialist Utopia. It is so indicative of the 2112 theme. I wonder if Ayn Rand's "Anthem" could ever be made for the big screen. That story seems to translate well whatever the medium. I also agree with an earlier poster about "THX 1138". An absolute classic in every sense of the word. This was the first future-plausible sci-fi film that really dug it's way into my soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
war2112 Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 QUOTE (furie @ Dec 22 2004, 09:41 PM) THX 1138 Furie, just wanted to give you props for bringing this one up. What a wrenching yet beautiful story that was, huh? Just magnificent and touching the way true sci-fi should be. I don't want to spoil the ending for possible future viewers, but perhaps the most dramatic moment in hard sci-fi history. Unforgettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sodoff Baldrick Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 Sometimes I think parts of Dead Poets Society, esp. with the boy Neil whose father doesn't want him in the play. Like the father represents the priests of Syrinx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First time I saw the movie was when I was 4, and I think I remember one TV episode he used that awesome gun of his to blast holes in a sheet metal to make a ladder to climb out of trouble, That black uniform with the gold stripe on his chest was way cool too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
