Heh. Dragonball Z. That's pretty accurate. I was thinking "Superman
2" but I think you've got it nailed.

I liked the parts where they were, you know, *fighting*. "I know
kung-fu" etc. The parts where they were flying around and running into
each other like drunken Supermen playing chicken was, well, "a drawn out
exercise in special effects" is as good a summary as any.

Hey! I know. She's not Sati at all! It's SETI! At home, even!

Agreed. It was fun to watch, even if it ultimately felt hollow. The
soundtrack, particularly the operatic techno-backed fight music, was
wonderful. And I can always go back to the first one when I need that
"scrawny hacker kicks ass" boost to my ego.
