I only got part way through that ... enjoyed it but never got back to it, can't remember why. I really should watch it again.

Agreed ... never seen it but always said I will watch it without prejudice (I'm aware of the negative rep it's got). I'm one of the few people who quite liked Waterworld ... not a classic by any means and the ending is laughable in the way it tries to make his departure in some way meaningful and enigmatic (a simple happy ever after was all it needed ... and deserved), no intellect required but otherwise ... yeah, OK, whatever.

Looks interesting, I will have to watch that .... arrr!

Jesus! How did I miss Plisskin? Didn't they do a sequel ... Escape from LA or something?

It's a play though, not a film.

They weren't and the whole idea is to get other people's ideas of what is good science fiction before we have a grand vote off.

You've made me think of to more as well ...

* Firefox (1982)
* Fortress (1993)
* The Arrival (1996)
* XChange (2000)

EDIT: The Imposter or The Impostor (2001)
