moviefill.com— Many of these films are thinly veiled warnings designed to bring awareness to ecological and social problems that are man made...only problem is they do it poorly.

I, Robot. It actually abandons Asimov's Laws from the getgo. But has a dual Christ Figure that borrows from one of the earliest science films ever made: Metropolis.Knowing. There was the dichotomy of things just happening at random, or things happening for a reason. That is a pretty important question.Sunshine. Man's inability to control mother nature? How about man's inability to *control himself*!Okay. Just because you didn't understand the deeper meaning does NOT mean it failed to convey that meaning (and the things I keyed in on are hardly the be-all, end-all of the these movies' themes).-Pie
They had two endings from I am legend. One was more like the book. It was not exactly like the book but much closer than the one they chose. However they did some test screenings and the audience did not like that ending so they went with another one.
Yeah, the book ending is too much of a downer for most people to deal with. I have to admit, I didn't really like it when I first read it. But in retrospect, it made a lot of sense and I liked it even better after seeing the movie.I thought Will Smith did a good job in the movie. It's unfortunate they had to go with the Hollywood ending.
Anything produced by "Outer Limits"... as in "please stand by"...(I confess I still watch it from time to time... when I get really desperate for SciFi... since there just isn't much regular sci-fi/SF entertainment out there in terms of movies or TV... but man does outer limits try too hard to be profound. They end up producing histrionic and melodramatic stuff to the max. It's almost like the stuff we wrote in high-school drama class!)

No kidding - Sunshine was fantastic!!!! It was particularly cool to see on a flight home. Don't ask why. It just was.
