I was hoping for some epic climax, and it gives me a large trout.

Interesting that they use a green color grade though, since green is in all movies with reality off-kilter.

This movie has to be aiming for cheesy!

Edit: Watching the end, I did kind of get that feel in the interrogation room. You know, the "you've been here before" part.

The Harrier scene ruined my suspension of disbelief crazily.

I know, but it doesn't make a difference! That whole scene is completely ridiculous, even for a video game!

You're letting logic get to your head while watching a movie.

I mean, seriously.

The fact there were planes involved makes it different. I mean, if they'd used Optimus Prime, or something, I wouldn't have had an issue.

Yes, we know you love planes so much, but seriously, get over it. :P

Post by: Dilmah G on January 14, 2011, 08:44:58 pm
I was kidding. :P But seriously, planes, in a tunnel? That were previously going supersonic? Whaaaaat? And then the Harrier gets hit by its own missile?

Urgh, what were the devs using as a reference? Modern Warfare 2?  :D

But if it'll satisfy you, I thought the concept was pretty cool. Although the part where the car turns 90 degrees and moves down the highway like that with the bloke taking shots out of the window also had me going  :confused:

Psh. In Die Hard 4 an F-35B decided it was a helicopter. Ridiculous as it was, I was fine with it.

Dilmah G, I'm big into planes and I could look past it :) It was stupid and silly but I knew that and I think they knew it too, considering the sheer ridiculousness of it.

Oh yeah, I did enjoy it too, but that scene in particular had me chuckling a bit. :p Perhaps I was a bit too judgmental about it, though.

That was very cool indeed. :yes:

Consdering the nature of the movie, how is the behaviour of the planes any more ridiculous than, for example, a man with a minigun for an arm?
:p

I just picked the plane because I could've defended that the easiest if somebody tried to take me up on it. I chuckled at plenty of other stuff too. :P

EDIT: Oops, replaced is with if.

Well for one those planes are too small to be actual planes.  The Harrier jet has a wingspan of 8-10 m depending on which variant they flew.  Subway tunnels are a LOT narrower.  But yes, given the nature of the movie, who gives a flying frak?  That was awesome.

In fairness, I think Dilmah's comments may be being just a teensy bit more examined than he intended them to be ;)

Yeah, watching it again though, the whole thing is rather cool. :D
