> Yeah I love this movie. Even the soundtrack is strong. I consider myself to be the authority on all good sci fi movies made after 1980 (except A New Hope).

Obviously not. A New Hope was released in 1977, so why should you be an authority on it?

> As a movie it's great, the pacing, the music, like during the Diva Dance. I don't think they should have emphasized Milla's beauty as what makes her "perfect," but rather wisdom. Like Jesus type teachings. You know?

Well, I think beauty is probably the easiest to show. And we also got it in other forms -- the fact that she could memorize encyclopedias ala Johnny 5 (from Short Circuit) and that she could fight like mad. I think the idea was that she was genetically perfect more than divinely perfect, really (hence the Diva's line about how "She's weaker than you think").
