    Leap of faith is one thing. That is Bat Guano crazy.

    Just got back from seeing it. Uninspired is the term I would use. Or perhaps cookie cutter. Better then the last couple of films by a long shot (I could never get past the Chippendales version of Kyle Reese in that last one - I never for a single second thought of him as a gritty survivor of the apocalypse) but that is damning with faint praise. By the final action sequence I was pretty bored and ready for it to end.

    True enough, never been a horror fan.
  5. Dynaman
    Have to disagree. Aliens and T2 are better then their originals.
  6. Dynaman
    Maybe - but just think of all those idiots that can't handle TWO dimensions forced to think in a third. And flying is not like driving in any way when it comes to responsiveness.

    The UFO TV series took place in the Far Off future of the 1980s. And Space 1999...

    Ditto

    HBO better hope more GoT fans are not like me. I watched every episode when it aired - but I don't really care if this gets made or not.

    Western Styled SciFi? Surely that would be "The Wild Wild West". None finer - though Firefly does come close.

    Catch some of the rehersal/audition test footage to see how bad it was. George won in the end though - that stilted dialog style Ford was complaining about ended up in the prequel trilogy.

    Han thought he was playing the Empire but the whole thing was a trap. A STUPID trap to be sure but still a trap. If not for the Teddy Bears the entire Rebel Alliance would have been defeated that day just as the Emperor says he foresaw. He had to of had reports about the Teddy Bears but not being up on his marketing skills (I mean, he needs a facelift by then) he dismissed them.

    Bad hair day...

    Just one quibble - the Empire was taken down by a bunch of Teddy Bears with sticks...
  15. Dynaman
    Now that WOULD explain quite a bit.

    I'll just agree to disagree on all points.

    I'm just looking for an enjoyable couple hours in a movie theater. I also pretty much ignore RT till the movie is out for a day or two and it has thousands of data points to work with. I've said it before and I'll say it again - since the deaths of Siskell and Ebert I don't pay attention to critics any longer.

    Episode 7 had slightly modified X-Wings, Slightly modified Tie Fighters, Slightly Modified Star Destroyers, Slightly Modified Rebels, Slightly Modified Empire, Slightly modified Death Star. Only the first of the prequels had a really different look to it and Lucas changed that very quickly.
  19. Dynaman
    True - what is shown on screen is beyond even normal physics. Then again I forgot how fast the X-wings had to be travelling to GET to the Death Star from another moon. They were going mighty slow after that. Which leads back to Star Wars has funky physics (at best) and anything goes as long as it is internally(ish) consistant. > "A space wizard did it" is half of the actual plot of the films. I'd put it closer to 100% after the prequals.

    Ooops - forgot one thing. Not only is SW fantasy it wears it proudly. I just remembered Han, Leia, and Chewie going out into what they thought was vacuum with nothing but a face mask (and not a securely fastened one at that). Just nuts if they were in any universe even near like ours. The Black Hole did try to show gravity but messed it up royally. People were floating around with the engines firing at full power and Earnst Borgnine floating toward the top of the ship with the engines going full power gets funnier the more I see it. (Yeah, I brought The Black Hole into this...) EDIT - The other item I thought about is that SW has pretty good internal consistancy with it's physics. With a couple of major sticking points (hyperspace ramming for instance). So the Proton Torpedoes falling like there is Earth Gravity on the Death Star (which should be more like the moon's) is a natural outgrowth into those B wing things. I thought the first was WAY COOL (but I was 11) while the second was mind boggling dumb (but I was 50 something).

    Anything else is fantasy, not science fiction. Star Wars is Science Fantasy so it doesn't bother me. I freely admit to not reading the rest of your post since if I reject the very premise there is no point. I'll also jump off the merry go round here too.
  22. Dynaman
    They way it shown happening on screen? NO it can not happen no matter how much thrust is coming out those engines. In space if you want to change direction you point you keester in the direction you want to go and then fire off the engines. Anything else is pure fantasy with no ifs ands or buts.

    The bombers were stupid - I'll give you that. But in a universe where fighters in space fly like they are in atmosphere - well they are not quite so stupid.
  24. Dynaman
    Only enough to get it out of Earth's orbit. After that it is pure luck

    When I looked it up and found six entries I was shocked. Although a number of them were TV movies - which is just where it belongs. As for this movie, I had forgotten Vin Diesel was still making movies to be honest.
