reed the tittIe, clearly states "space war movie", witch means I SPECIFIED space warfare, not sci-fi. So in fact you're the one going off topic.
like u said, this is not an argue post. I simply stated my opinion, and opinions change over time. When people form opposite opinions, they present their opinion to each other in what is known as an argument. i think. So in fact this may just well be an argue post, just not in the heated closed-by-mods sense.
During the course of my argument I have not once defined a Sci-Fi film exclusively as a movie with big space wars, in fact I believe I even acknowledged the various characteristics that could apply to a scifi film.

A time setting in the future, in alternative timelines, or in a historical past that contradicts known facts of history or the archaeological record.
A spatial setting or scenes in outer space (e.g. spaceflight), on other worlds, or on subterranean earth.[3]
Characters that include aliens, mutants, androids, or humanoid robots.
Futuristic technology such as ray guns, teleportation machines, and humanoid computers.[4]
Scientific principles that are new or that contradict accepted laws of nature, for example time travel, wormholes, or faster-than-light travel or communication.
New and different political or social systems, e.g. dystopian, post-scarcity, or post-apocalyptic.[5]
Paranormal abilities such as mind control, telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation.
Other universes or dimensions and travel between them.
SF is too vague. That is why i specified "large scale space war"
So while I said that scifi was too vague a description for the subcategory of space war, I never once said that space wars aren't scifi.
And while I do not intend to insult you, I would like to note that you so seem to be highly delusional in thinking you are in any position to "make me smarter" or "open my mind".
Well, you did say "peace", so that means we're disco-friends again. hooray!

The ship and vehicle designs cool, the space battle scenes eye-candy-ish, the actresses hot, the bugs interesting, the story and everything else...weeeeell as mentioned before, the movies are good for cheap science fiction movie entertainment. I can put in this category for example the extra eye-candy Sucker Punch, the lame Transformers or any other eye entertaining sci-fi movie. These movies gives you fun for the eyes but none for the brain. I liked ST 1 and ST: I, the rest meh and meh.
