		<title>Avatar Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Avatar (2009) is written and directed by James Cameron, starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Giovanni Ribisi.

The year is 2154 and paraplegic ex-marine Jake Sully is sent to a distant planet called Pandora, on a mission initially meant for his dead twin brother. The rich and lush Pandora is inhabited by locals named Na'vi--a humanoid race of yellow-eyed, blue-skinned beings, each about 2.7m to 3.7m tall. Jake is to drive what is called an Avatar, which is a human-made Na'vi lookalike that is connected and controlled by a person's mind while the person is kept safe somewhere else. What is once thought as a harmless mission of getting to know Pandora and the Na'vis turns complicated as the humans are willing to do whatever it takes to mine the planet's rich mineral which is greatly valuable on Earth.

		<description><![CDATA[Greetings!
After some considerations with my Indonesian friends, it has been decided that Inascifi.com will stay online for the moment. As we&#8217;re finishing the first quarter of 2010, a plethora of science fiction productions have appear. Of course, one of 2009&#8217;s production that&#8217;s bringing a lot of media attention is James Cameron&#8217;s Avatar.

		<title>About Inascifi (part 2)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Inascifi&#8217;s creation was based on the founder (I myself) frustration toward the Indonesian paradigm and view toward the science fiction genre.
I myself felt benefit by the genre in many aspects.
Reading the novel Starship Troopers (by Robert A. Heinlein) helped me understand civics, the nature of human spirit and violent tendency, and the necessity to sacrifice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the beginning,
there was ina_sci-fi.
Like many small electronic groups that formed in the virtual world, the community grew and shrank, and almost collapsed.
Then, the founder came up with the idea to shorten the name, to Inascifi.
The idea was to reduced the task of typing underscores ( _ ) and dashes ( &#8211; ) signs each [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hello? Any other Indonesian Sci-fi Communities out there?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[as much I am a Trekker, I still love Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, Firefly and other science fiction related literature/media.

I know there are two Star Wars groups in Indonesia (one dedicated to Jedi, the other to the Sith).

Where are they now?]]></description>

		<title>Everything you need to know about the next Star Trek movie</title>
		<description><![CDATA[J.J. Abram's Star Trek is the one of the biggest buzz in the entertainment industry. Attempting to bring Star Trek back to its original roots, the next film will center on the original Federation starship U.S.S. Enterprise (NCC-1701, with no bloody A, B, C or D) and how the core crew of the original series came by together.

As a Star Trek fan who lives in Indonesia I can�t help being a bit worried. In fact, very worried. I�m worried because Star Trek isn�t as popular here as it is in other countries.

		<title>My Opinions on (some) of 2009 scifi blockbusters</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay&#8230;
I&#8217;ve written about five (hopefully) good (if not great) films that will be coming this year.
Here&#8217;s some thoughts I have regarding those titles:
1. Star Trek.


After four years disappearing from the airwaves and six years from the big screen, Star Trek is back. But a good question would be, which Star Trek is this? From the [...]]]></description>

What if a person is born in physically old, and grows younger in each passing day?
This touching story is based on the short story (that can be read online here or in Project Guttenberg.

In this time where most Indonesians are either (low key) humor or (uneducating) horror films, Poernomo is creating this, which is meant to educate its audience and an alternative for the [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;re Moving!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Officially today,I&#8217;ll no longer posting any more on this blog.
Inascifi&#8217;s blog is moving to http://www.inascifi.com
The main reason is because we have long had our own domain.Second is, I don&#8217;t want you readers to think of inascifi dot blogspot dot com. Wouldn&#8217;t it be faster to just type inascifi.com ?
See you on the other side!-Arvin

		<title>Renovatio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Renovatio.

That's a very good latin term I've learned four years ago from Michael Bay's 2005 action packed film, <em><strong>The Island</em></strong>. The protagonist (Lincoln Six-Echo) of the story had this dream of being on a ship bearing that name, heading to the Island, a place where all people dream to go.

Renovatio... Renewel. Restoration. Rebirth

That is the sense that I'm carrying as I begin this blog.]]></description>
