For instance, there was no reason to carry 10,000x as much "red matter" as *necessary*. There is no good reason, logically, that the villains are the only ones in a spaceship that looks like a it wants to cut you- despite being a "mining vessel". As I pointed out, there is no reason or logic to a predator discarding larger subdued prey to follow smaller, active prey...J.R.Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08498164179579546593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404305187176881635.post-56483424691467478472009-06-17T14:43:07.172-04:002009-06-17T14:43:07.172-04:00Ehhhh.

We&...Ehhhh. I think perhaps you expect too much. <br /><br />We're talking about Hollywood, and while I would LIKE to take things issuing from that gaping reality abyss with some amount of seriousness I find it just increases my chance of aneurysm. <br /><br />Want sense? Do Cannes. This? This is unmitigated fluff. Big budget and pretty lights flashing, but fluff nonetheless. Your best approach is that of suspension of disbelief. <br /><br />More fun, less aneurysm.The Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16850633345359260506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404305187176881635.post-83832041967701143902009-06-16T14:36:16.515-04:002009-06-16T14:36:16.515-04:00I'm a Star Trek Kool-Aid drinker. I've wat...I'm a Star Trek Kool-Aid drinker. I've watched everything they have ever done since the pilot back in 1966. I can probably tell you what every actor is going to say for every episode and every movie. Hell, I've seen the reruns and Star Trek Marathons so many times that I can tell you the name of the movie or episode from the first line. <br /><br />I haven't seen this movie yet but I'm sure I'll like it.<br /><br />I think some folks tend to over analyze. This is Science <b><i>Fiction</i></b> after all.<br /><br />It is supposed to be enjoyable fantasy not to be taken seriously. I mean really, when have we ever seen anything that made sense on the big screen or TV?<br /><br />JoeAssrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093506505019819353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404305187176881635.post-28641714412227677032009-06-15T13:55:35.217-04:002009-06-15T13:55:35.217-04:00Well, I did enjoy it.

Finally someone who wasn't mesmerized by this movie.<br /><br />It strikes me more as a Sci-Fi Soap Opera than a Sci-Fi movie. <br /><br />I only give it a 2.Snigglefritshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00993769458966206782noreply@blogger.com
