I've seen it before. It was called The Number 23 and starred Jim Carrey.

I can actually picture a hypercube in my mind now, so I've started working on visualizing penteracts—5-dimensional hypercubes: [www.youtube.com]
Yo, where da clip at? I want to see naked Turkish space-babes, goddamnit!
Sounds prettymuch like Ray Kurzweil's post-Singularity world, but without all the airy-fairy optimism and a whole hell of a lot more fun!
Say, this looks rather keen!
You and I both. In my case, fibromyalgia drove me to become an even more rabid transhumanist than I already was before diagnosis. I'd be perfectly fine with a machine body.
I've got some buddies and we all drink bleach
Hey, I recognize that dinosaurian fella! Isn't he one of the species from Mass Effect? Not the Krogans, but the...other ones who look like skinny Krogans.
Howard the Duck deserved two Oscars: one for soundtrack, and one for special effects! I mean...godDAMN, did you see those Dark Overlords?! I've been obsessed with them (and ducks) ever since I saw that movie when I was twelve.
THE SINGULARITY HAS JUST HAPPENED.
I prefer "yerbas" and "miss-a-leez" myself.
Jones and Bastard John are the greatest fictional dolphins ever.
For a while, I thought it was a word of French derivation, and thus would be pronounced something like "zhay-voo-loh", but that sounds so stupid I refuse to utter it.
I have only one question: how the heck is "gevulot" pronounced? I favour "gev-you-LOT", personally.
Idaknow...this actually sounds like it *could* be cool, if it were handled with a measure of levity and/or pulpy melodrama. If approached thusly, it might even top The Fifth Element!
If Singularity has even HALF as many awesome explosions and scenes of mega-destruction as 2012, it will still be awesome. I would LOVE to see Emmerich tackle clouds of disassembling nanobots, forced uploading, and armies of shapeshifting death machines!
Ugh. This doesn't even get a D for effort. I've seen better productions from 14-year-olds in gifted classes playing around with paper dolls, a scanner, and a pirated copy of Final Cut. Admittedly, though, the *music* is surprisingly effective. Its amorphous quality reminds me a good bit of the soundtrack to John…
I LOVE this movie, and have since I was a child. It is the very epitome—indeed, the aegis—of bad British sci-fi cinema. Equal parts Hammer horror film, zombie apocalypse, and alien invasion: you just don't get better than this....And the main theme by Henry Mancini? EPIC SQUARED.
But its sheer awkwardness is what makes it *awesome*!
