As I said in my review, I absolutely loved it. The dueling went from lasers, phasing, and general destruction of Westview (which was fun on its own) to a philosophical discussion because of course the ultimate battleground between two sentient synthezoids would be about higher thinking instead of just slugging it out.
It's gotten me thinking, I might actually enjoy a Superman movie with him dealing with an alien invader that ends with him intellectually debating with them that maybe invading Earth isn't worth the trouble and they leave nonviolently.
