Plenty of action, violence, story and very good CGI

2a) If you were a film director, directing a sci-fi film, which actor would you cast as your lead role?
Either one with big screen presence or a good one. Depends on the role.

Rebecca Frisk.

3a) Which is your favourite female character from a science fiction film?
Ripley.

3b) Why do you like this character?
Sexy, smart and doesn't have silicon tits.

4a) Which is your least favourite female character from a science fiction film?
If it counts, Lara Croft.

4b) Why do you not like this character?
Jolie looks like a vulcanized sex toy and cannot act.

5a) Do you prefer newer sci-fi films or the classic ones?
Depends. I like the ones listed above, but I also like classics like The Day the Earth Stood Still & Forbidden Planet.

5b) Why do you prefer this choice?
Good stories, good acting (in the first, anyway), nostalgia.

6) If you have seen the two versions of King Kong (2005 and 1976), which do you prefer and why? (Ignoring the fact of the development of technological features such as CGI)
Never saw the first one, thought the last suffered from too much padding i.e. the dinosaur sequence and Kong's dying swan act at the end went on for far too long.
