A list of sci-fi movies that will decidedly not include Attack of the Clones. I wanted to like the latest instalment of Star Wars, really. I was ready to lay down my cultural snobbery. And the planetscapes were beautiful: I would have been happy with a simple exhibition of CGI wizardry. But the plot just does not work. Does. Not. Work. The climactic battle between the clones and the droids? Well, who cares? Space operas are supposed to be about good and evil; the Attack of the Clones is a choreographed conflict between evil, and more evil. Too complicated for me.
