From: Don.Provan@CMU-CS-A Did you guys actually see this movie? The forests needed to be cared for. Remember how he spent a lot of time teaching the only undamaged 'droid how to care for the forest? Go ahead and talk about how the movie abused my emotions or how bad the acting was or how poor the effects were (well, I guess most people agree that the effects were pretty good, since that's what started this), but I wish you'd stop claiming illogic over points that were fully explained by the film. I don't think there's anything in this filmthat just incredible. Maybe the Earth couldn't survive such an ecological change, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. One senerio I can imagine is that buildings are required to have algae ponds built into N% of the external wall space. There's a lot of more ridiculous speculation in most highly acclaimed SF. Why are you guys picking on this poor movie?
