3. I dunno...
perhaps a movie with all the latest in CGI effects that isn't violent as a major part of the plot? ;)

We could have tall, blue aliens with James P. Hogan's "Gentle Giants of Ganymede" too :D

4. Well it does have humans in it, hence the violence.

6. I read a little about it on imdb
and once I saw the plot, it didn't really appeal to me.

If you've never read the "Gentle Giant" series, though, you should look into it. It probably wouldn't translate to film all that well, though (lots of talking, scientific exploration and no violence until the later books.) His stand-alone book "The Two Faces of Tomorrow" would work quite well since it does involve violence from an AI running a space station and being "challenged" that way by the humans that built it. It's a great story and I'd love to see that kind of science fiction on the screen than yet another monster/alien movie. :)

8. Where's Knixphan? He's working on that one I think
(CG animation). I don't know much about it other than what's on this trailer!
