Firstly, mythology and the arts are deeply steeped in symbolism, allegory, and metaphor to communicate deeper meaning. The Matrix is as much a metaphor about our world less an hypothetical prediction. For the willing suspension of disbelief regarding net energy output, how can you determine the nature of quantum…
Which premise do you mean Ked? That humans could experience a virtual world or that they ca be "harvested" for their energy by a mechanistic oligarchy?
"Making money doesn't mean quality" that's an entirely self defeating premise with arbitrary and entire subjective criteria. However, selling an entertainment product, or any product for that matter, pleasing customers (selling tickets) is one real measure of "quality" -millions of others thus vote regarding "quality"…
I've never seen any of the transformer films. Pretty sure if you're looking for a great film with depth and human interest you don't go one based on a Saturday morning cartoon where trucks turn into giant robots, so hint-yeah, that's exactly what one does when goes to such a film; relax and have fun.
*that should read "will include a streaming media sci-fi channel."
6 replies trashing Phantom. We get it, you had hoped for more from the film. My sense is, however, no matter what they had produced to carry that franchise forward it would have disappointed an equal number of the hardcore set of fans. Sadly, there are libraries full of great Science Fiction Universes that don't get…
The film's overall worldwide total was over $1 billion, making it the 12th highest-grossing films of all time. "Everyone" didn't hate the film-it was a smashing success and a worthy addition to the franchise. A number of vocal people who couldn't relax and enjoy anything made a lot of noise. What they fail to…
The film's overall worldwide total to over $1 billion, making it the 12th highest-grossing films of all time. Hated? As if. When she said "elderly" she was kidding; she's mature, not elderly. A kid as a protagonist? What. Were. They. Thinking?!
You're welcome.
That should read, "the biosphere's greatest asset".
Always the summary judgments and one sided indictments against humanity and the blustering self righteous, "those dirty rotten stupid humans!" Well, more or less humans have been merely doing exactly what living things do-seeking resources to survive. More or less we've really only arrived at a place of ecological…
"But I guess if you really want to be technical, wasn't steampunk more about the Victorian Aesthetic, and dieselpunk/raygun gothic more Deco?" Yes. We're including all of them by the way, in our film launch, depending on the planet. http://pandoranage.com
Good to hear that! I stand corrected.
Shame on the University of Pennsylvania for using that music, lol. Great work though, so they get a pass. Don't do it again. Please...
That would be herding cats for sure.
Did you say Art Deco and Streamline??? In the same context as minimalism? Perish the thought. Streamline and art deco are more akin to Steampunk regarding ornamentalism than minimalism.
HAAAAAAAAAAAH! I haven't smiled that much all day. ;)
I wasn't a fan Shia Lebouf but I though he held his own actually.
