The fact is no one buys a giant tidal wave that just stands there. No one.

"salyaris" is the best sci-fi of all time.

2001 is a great movie. Real science fiction is supposed to be based on science as we know it, and extrapolating from there. Clarke definitley wrote his books with this in mind.

I would rate AKIRA higher than GHOST, but much of my opinion is informed by the respective mangas. AKIRA was a behemoth in terms of science fiction concept whereas I felt GHOST was more about Masamune Shirow's extensive foray into the marriage of society and technology. Still, with the Puppet-Master we do enter the realm of life and whence it begins its existence. For my tastes, director Mamoru Oshii made it too philosophical and self-important. He took all the fun away, and that goes doubly so for the sequel. Fantastic art, corpulent pacing.

I never read the Manga, and Akira was a cool movie, but I still prefer Ghost. I thought the dialogue regarding consiousness was well done.

Star Wars was so removed from our reality that it could be catagorized as fantasy as far as I'm concerned, but it is space opera as well. When it comes to books I use the catagories you've mentioned, but since there are so many less "sci-fi" movies I just lump them all together.

I liked AVP. It's certainly not a great movie, but I was entertained by it, which was all I was looking for.
