@R3I00: @henry_jekyll & CaptainValor: (apologies if this posts more than once... the "share" button didn't seem to do anything the first couple of times).

C'mon, this is Hollywood we're talking about. We all *know* it's going to be a reboot. 3 films is much farther than they usually get before they feel the need to rehash the origin story (that everyone in the world already knows) yet again!

@sicboi: The other advantage of all-CGI is that you avoid the "that looks fake" pheomenon. When it's ALL CG, then that's the visual tone of the film and no one complains about the CG effects (unless it's just crappy CG all around, of course.)

@elSpanielo: I'm going with Wal-Mart. But it'll have a Starbucks inside it!

@brillow: I doubt that your vision of society will be all-encompassing (I bet there will still be a significant "meat-bag" segment even after the Great Upload takes hold), but in any case we'd at least need to put some servers on Mars in case earth suffers some sort of apocalyptic impact or geological event (again). …

@pvalpha: I'm not sure I agree. I think (and admittedly its just a hunch) that the reason biosphere experiments on earth have failed is because 1) they were too small (not diverse enough) and 2) we didn't let them go long enough. Sure, most of the plants & animals might die, but with enough time the bacteria, worms,…

@Dr Emilio Lizardo: "why would the cop set up a roadblock just over a rise on a dessert highway that people are probably barreling down at about 110 mph?"

@teenagers: No, you're not alone. I like this one too... although I'm not sure how much of that is on its own merit, and how much is just the accumulated momentum which hadn't yet grabbed me after episodes 1 and 2. I vowed I'd give it 3 episodes before deciding whether or not to watch... before the 3rd episode, I…

@Smeagol92055: He owns it. It's all his. It's not yours. Get over it. You don't have to like it, (I don't like a lot of what he's done recently either) but quit acting like he's wronged you. He hasn't. Just 'cause you liked the earlier stuff doesn't mean you have any rights to any of it, and he can do anything…

@k4man: Maybe they would, but it would take something like 10 years for the outcast survivors to get back to earth, report what had happened, and then for the military to get back to Pandora again. (Remember, the security team were privately-hired mercs, not an actual army... that's why all the exasperated fans'…

Maybe in the context of this film "isopod" will just be a contraction for "isolation pod", and it will be a flick about someone who is somehow cut off from the outside world and has to deal with the mental freak-out that ensues? Seems more likely for an indie flick to me—a 1-room drama, in essence.

@cyclops2500: Huh?

@syafiqjabar of Mars: Sure, but just because something cool results doesn't mean I want to be one of the species that doesn't make it! ;-)
