I quite like the idea of the ring of fire thing...  As last year could easily be called one of the worst film years in history, this year seems to be an excelent one! Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, Scanner Dark, Kingdom of Heaven, Narnia, Stealth, Sin City, Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Unleashed and of course Constantine thats allready come out. So looks like the year is chockfull of entertainment. Tis a good thing. :D :yes:

Just look at the FS2 AI, they can't hit a darned thing.

It stared Vin Diesel, consider yourself lucky you were misled. There's only one sub-genre that leads with the guys name :p

Ah.... good point.

Something with that trailer - which sort of idiot would build a state of the art fighter, add in a military AI, and not think to lightning-proof it.  Especially considering that every other plane in the world is shielded against it........

You honestly think this movie fits into any kind of catagory that relates to reality?

Thats why I love these types of movies. Reality is but a vague concept in these movies. Whatever looks cool, becomes reality. If a car can flip over, through a truck while the driver unloads his uzi with one hand, killing 8 terrorists then steers the car in mid-air back around, landing just in time over a draw bridge then doing a donut ring on the other side just in time to see the bridge explode... Tis good entertainment. :D

Meh. Looks lame to me. Although I do like the Horus/Seth ship. (Looks more like a Seth than a Horus to me, but meh)

Maybe it's cause they wanted it to start saying "No disassemble number 5" halfway through and turn the movie into a comedy romp :D

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Oh, and nitpick number 2; why the hell does every movie seem to need a red 'eye' for their evil machine baddy?  I mean, we've seen HAL, we're not going to be any more scared or impressed by a 2 bit knockoff.   and why does the evil-ai-monster have a cockpit?  It's not even the same fighter, do we really need to have "little evil ball of AI death" to have a visible bad guy?  What's it going to do?  Roll after us?

That's a computer program.  Apparently, lines of writing on a screen isn't good enough for the movies, so we get this bizarre **** full of flashy lights every time we have computers on screen.

EDIT; oh, and now we know - massive electival overloads don't break fragile circuits in any way, they just make them work in a nice evil way.  

And apparently plane-flying AIs need blue mood lighting.......

Also Gundam Wing, though that was most likely derivative of Macross Plus. They were called Mobile Dolls or something along those lines.

Man, who cares if it's got a red eye? For all we know, it might just be an homage to HAL.  And besides, it's not a movie you'd go to for the cinematic genius and the storyline.. you see it to watch stuff explode.
Wh00t!? Vinyl? Is it like an I-pod 2 or something?
