Terminator Salvation
-
I was better than I thought too, but I couldn't get past how ridiculously unrealistic many plot elements were: • In a post apocalyptic world, were does all the fuel and spare parts for those airbases come from? • If a robot is supposed to kill you, wouldn’t it just kill you by -- oh I don't know -- putting its metal fingers through your skull rather than throw you against walls a bunch of times? • etc, etc, etc. I guess I can only suspend my disbelief so far!. -Jay

Well where does the disbelief begin...Skynet infiltrates every computer in the world, launches nukes then gets rid of the survivors by the use of android killers? They obviously weren't on a MS OS, othewise there would be a huge wait each time there were updates ready to download.

I certainly hope it is better than the new Star Trek movie.
Chaining ourselves to the moral high ground does not make us good guys. Aside from making us easy targets, it merely makes us idiotic prisoners of our own self loathing.

Funnily enough, Pavel Checkov and Kyle Reese are played by the same guy.

Don't forget the heart transplant in the field tent. If the bullets they were shooting into his chest for fun didn't get through what chance would a rib spreader have? The movie would have been much better if they just cut that scene out. It added nothing.

It goes without saying that the plot has more holes in it than swiss cheese. You just watch stuff blow up and go away satisfied. My big question was, how did they engulf that robot in flames, without burning all the people in the cage to death ?

> Def a must see. If you liked that, then you must see Silverlight 2 demos from vendors touting "great performance". The thing (ie. 'technology'), eats more than VS2010, VS2008 + Resharper; around 287MB for some darn ugly single grid or single chart. California gone crazy, yet again.. I'm switching out of this crap, pronto; and hopefully before it terminates itself in bloatology ignorance.

Meh. We have 64bit machines with many GB of RAM now. If not for heavy new frameworks/platforms, we'd be stuck having to make more interesting apps to fill all that... (I suppose you should have started your own thread, but now that you've gone and posted this...)

Just got back from the cinema, TS is great, apart from a dodgy computerised Arnie shot. Very intense and obviously left open for the next one. Cinema was packed, and everyone was talking about the film as we left. I would give it a good 8 out of 10. Def a must see.

I'd go see it again, just for the sound effects! 8 / 10 for me too.

Hi! It looks like you are trying to launch a nuclear strike resulting in the total destruction of mankind. Would you like help?

Why do you have to twist everything into an attack on Microsoft, no matter how unrelated? Is this some validation of your sad and pathetic existence, with nothing but the Penguin for love? Poster: "Hey, the weather's nice today." You: "If you think the weather's nice, you should see what a bloated piece of crapware all products that have ever or are destined to come out of Microsoft are... Back in the day, I coded an entire user interface on a 1 bit processor with 1 byte of RAM." Leave the MS attacks to the threads about MS technologies, and just enjoy the rest.
