Anyone out there seen or heard of any half decent new Sci-Fi coming our way? Sure there been the likes of V for Vendetta, but a toad would kill for a good old fashioned space opera, or some nasty alien bugs. Anything in the offing?

"Children of Men" is out now toadie.
Probably not what you'd normally class as 'definitive' sci-fi, but it looked interesting nonetheless.

Yeah I've read a lot about this one and it looks superb. Mrs T and I are off to see it next weekend. The SMH and the Australian both raved about it on Saturday.
Would still love, however, some good, non-cerebral lasers and green blood action.

Looks like you'll just have to watch Aliens to hold you over till we get another "Bug Hunt" movie Toadie!

That and Starship Troopers. Though on the subject of Aliens I picked up an R4 9 disc box set for $A49 recently - a disc each for theatrical and directors cuts of all films and packed with extras.  |

I recently watched Serenity-a rousing sci-fi adventure that pleased. Check it out if you haven't seen it. I know its not 'new' new, but best I could come up with.

I wanted to watch Firefly, but never got the chance.

Check it out, its worth it, especially now that there is the film to expand upon it a bit. It was axed pretty quickly, and they didn't do right by it, aired episodes out of order and the like. FOX didn't give it a chance at all. But very smart, entertaining show. Anyway, I know Scifi was showing it for awhile. Not sure if they still are or not.

Serenity actually left me a bit cold, and I'm still not really sure why. Just couldn't engage with it. Reently I have been huntig down old ones like 12 Monkeys and Fifth Element
