@CFunderburg Right, like maybe not the best film, but I think a prime example of a legacy sequel is Tron: Legacy. I mean, it's right there in the title. Big time gap, new creative people, new lead, etc.
@Pandarienbaer I mean, I kind of feel like you can pretty much pick anything from that era at random, and even if the movie or show is totally mediocre, there's a good chance of it having some cool technical sci-fi imagery.
@DarkandWondrous Oh yeah, the "all Jedi wear robes because Obi-Wan did in the first one" thing is such a missed opportunity to give the Jedi some cool knightly-looking costumes.
@Elf0scuro It's the closest thing anyone has made the a historical Predator movie, which is really the direction that franchise should have gone in after 2.
Seems kind of notable that last year Rufus Sewell appeared in two very different but both pretty unsettling films touching on dementia.
