may be rude Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 this was great! was hoping for just a decent treatment of the subject, turned out to be an awesome sci-fi movie. the trailer only gets into the first hour, the second hour is crazy. it was really well done, imo, great directing debut from nolan's cinematographer. fans of nolan will like it i think.

Guest Milkweg Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Good to hear positive feedback about this. My expectations are pretty low for this one so I'll probably end up enjoying it quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably watch this bastards... the plot holes were clearly chosen deliberately to allow for the story to encompass all that it did, and they weren't too glaring. i find that some people will kind of unconsciously be hostile to things that threaten their worldview, and i think such reviews are examples of that unfortunate phenomenon. bad theology, lol. stupid pfister never encountered the correct theology.

may be rude Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Trance 'n' dance. heh. misspelled the subject, should've been transcendence. if a mod would fix it that would be cool, so people don't think this thread is about a 90s trance compilation cd series or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

may be rude Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 i guess the movie is so polarizing (an attribute that is often a sign of good art) because a lot of people don't buy the premise that you can reverse engineer human consciousness. if you buy it, the idea of the movie is awesome, and it's executed in a pretty cool way. kind of slightly hokey, but it's not trying to be 2001. movies like tremors have their place, not that this movie is like tremors, maybe slightly but actually it has a lot of really smart aspects to it imo.
