RE: Reloaded with plastic pea pellets; a rant for Jim

    It is released today where I live, but all the talk here is
    discouraging.

    I rather enjoyed the first one, but you have to agree that
    its philosophy and ideology were crappy. The freedom
    fighters plant a bomb in a government building, and then
    they crash an aircraft into another one, presumably in the
    bussiness district, judging from the panoramic view. Free
    your mind, my ass.

    I think its merits are a good narrative and foreshadowing,
    plus some "ontological shock", but that's about it. They
    tell me the second one doesn't even have that. Most critics
    have Daniel's mixed feelings about it, I gather. And Jim,
    sequels don't necessarily have to be languid and irresolute;
    what about Godfather Part II?

    The last sci-fi film I really liked was *Gattaca*. Cheesy at
    times, but nice. Has anyone seen anything more recent on
    that line that you'd care to recommend?

    Saludos,
    Diego D.
