I've seen various trailers on episode II and it appears to be much better than episode I, making me remembering the old StarWars Trilogy. Waiting for May to comprove this ... Cheers, Joao Vaz
I've also seen the trailer and I'm sure I will not watch episode II. What do you like about it? Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

You could easily tell what came out of computer - they just didn't feel real. Honestly, it's the problem with most productions these days. I prefer these low-tech effects from Blade Runner or original Alien. Tomasz Sowinski -- http://www.shooltz.com

Nope. ** David ducks ** They were reasonably good the first few times, but soon got a bit too predictable. I guess if I was born five years earlier that would be different. ____________________ David Wulff I watch how the moon sits in the sky On a dark night shining with the light from the sun The sun doesn't give light to the moon Assuming the moon's going to owe it one It makes me think of how you act to me You do favours and then rapidly You just turn around and start asking me about Things you want back from me - Linkin Park

One note, have you already saw a film called Dark City, it's from the director of Crow I, and was a very different sci-film, with very dark scenarios, a very pleasant suprise. Cheers, Joao Vaz

To try and generate a few posts about something other than message count. Choose your preference Beef or Lamb Asimov or Arthur C. Clarke Spielberg or Lucas Television or Books Simpsons or South Park Michael :-)

The trilogy (Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation) were the original, later on, the others were added. I'm not sure of the dates, but they fit into the series in this order: Prelude to Foundation Forward the Foundation Foundation Foundation and Empire Second Foundation Foundations Edge Foundation & Earth They were not all as good as the original trilogy, but I still enjoyed them Paresh Solanki Today is the tomorrow you were worried about yesterday.
Of course you also need to read I, Robot and Robots and Empire in between Foundations Edge and Foundation and Earth to get a full appreciation for the end of the series. I've not actually read either of the 'Prequels' From an internal company e-mail November, 2001 -- "Would the person who stole the ethics training manual from the class last Friday please return it."

When you see a model shot as opposed to a computer graphics image, you are seeing a real object with all sorts of little visual cues that can't (easily) be reproduced using computer graphics. Sure, a lot of old effects don't have the polish that modern computer graphics have, but in some cases that actually benefits the effect. Gavin Greig
