@MrMalachiCrunch:
I thought Matrix the first one…… was a novel premise and thought it was a pretty good movie. As long as you believe there exists a perpetual motion machine… which of course is fiction. Humans as a perpetual motion machine as the core premise did kind of kill it for me. But by suspending that one basic tenant of physics it did become enjoyable.
Speaking of novel films and people named Wachowski. Cloud Atlas… worth a watch. A little Magnolia, but with way more gun-fights Just make sure you buy popcorn and twizzlers because you’re going to be in there for a while. Over the top at times, but I guess that’s the idea. Anyone else see it yet?
Also, about The Matrix, (one of the best films ever made in my opinion) I don’t know that using cellular respiration and fusion to generate electricity, technically qualifies as perpetual motion. Though the vagueries of the power source were left to the imagination, we can probably conclude there was some explanation that didn’t violate laws of physics. I mean, all the science fiction out there and your going to pick on that little tidbit?
Argo was good too, if not terribly inventive. (If were still looking for decent films to see.)
