It’s no secret I am a science fiction fan.  And while it might not be such a widely known fact about me, I admit that I am also quite a fan of Andy Lau’s work (both movies and music).  That being the case, I suppose that I should not be too ashamed to say I am on the lookout for a DVD of Future X-cops, even though the trailers  promise nothing more than a cheesy story and lousy special effects.  Still…….. I am watching out for it, ready to pick it up and have a look at the flick, if I can ever find a quiet couple of hours to do so.

Science fiction is not nearly as big in China as it is in the US, though I have enjoyed some of the pieces I’ve read in the Chinese magazine Science Fiction World.  (I would read it much more regularly, probably, if it wasn’t for the struggle it is for me to read a whole story in Chinese.)  I can’t say that I’ve ever come across any piece of science fiction, whether movie or printed piece, that particularly wowed me.  But still…….. I can’t help but pick up what I do come across and have a look, still holding out hope that I’ll find that one gem that I’m looking for.

I am almost postive Future X-cops will not be that special film that makes me feel that Chinese science fiction has come into its own.  But still……. it won’t hurt to give it a shot, right?
