Last time, Captured in Her Eyes completely destroyed The Jolly Roger in the Deep Azure. This time, we have another lopsided seeming matchup.

"The energies of our system will decay; the glory of the sun will be dimmed, and the earth, tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for a moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit, and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest. Matter will know itself no longer. 'Imperishable monuments' and 'immortal deeds,' death itself, and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been."

5 better win this, even though I doubt it will, since 10 is basically fanservice. :-X

Movie 10.
About the 5th, I didn't like the car part and Gin confusing Sonoko with Shiho just by the similar hairstyle.

I think five has won pretty much every poll/contest it's been in, so I wouldn't be too nervous (yet).

I voted for 10 entirely because 5 will beat factually better earlier movies otherwise.

I don't mind the fanservice aspect of 10. :-X

Mostly I just really don't care much for Countdown to Heaven.  It's not a bad movie, but there are plenty that are better both with plot and plot-execution.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

5, duh.
10 had no unity in it, really. Most of the time I was thinking why a certain part had to be in it.

I agree that Countdown has a reputation that eclipses its quality by a decent amount, but when the gulf in quality is so large, I can't quite come around to this sort of logic, though I certainly understand it.

Both are overrated but 5 is better.

5 because of the Physics part ^_^
And there's BO in it too.
I don't like 10. I was bored the whole movie.
