  1. I have to say I was simultaneously thrilled and disappointed with Tron: LEgacy. It has a lot of great set pieces and it takes you a pretty good ride, even if it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.... unfortunately the flick draaaaaaaaaaaaaags between set pieces :( That being said it's definatly worth seeing in theaters, especially in IMAX 3D, with booming bass of a theater, it will instantly turn you into a fan of Daft Punk :)

    Not as awesome as it should have, Tron Legacy is a good popcorn adventure for 3.5 out of 5.

  2. Through happy chance I was able to get a copy of Window 7 Pro upgrade really cheap through work. I had a mind numbing time trying to get it to install. ;) (Note for other users, if you are upgrading XP 32-bit to W7 64-bit. Go here to get the USB install tool and Here to make it work. to save yourself similar headache.

    After using a work around to get the process started, it was a breeze. As for th OS itself... :) I think that says it all. :) Just wanted to gush and say I love Windows all over again!

  3. Admittedly I would love to see a true sequel in the vein of Terror from the Deep or even better Apocalypse(didn't care for the retro-future style, but easily best in the series). I think from what coverage was available. X-com Alliance would have been an awesome game. So, i think we have a great chance of something truly special.

  4. I'm in the beta (heart Fileplanet). It's good, not great but good. Personally im a little underwhelmed by the away missions, rather boring to me. However the space combat and "exploration" is great. I'm still fresh from the tutorial, so my opinion might change as things go on.

  5. I loved the movie, but the end battle bugged me. I can understand why they wanted to be up close and personal for the Tree battle to minimize damage to the ore vein...but for the finale, wouldn't it have been just simpler and faster to 'nuke the site from orbit'?

  6. Yikes! I gotta know why you think so brother. Why do you think the Wrath sucked, why do you rank Undiscovered Country(which some think ripped off TWOK some)first, and just to add fuel to the fire, which is the worst Trek movie. I'd like to stick with the original series just to keep the discussion coherent for now. :P

    Maybe sucked was too harsh, certainly wasn't as bad as say Voyage Home or *shudder* Final Frontier. Undiscovered country was the first trek film I ever saw, so it holds special place for me. I've viewed it as space opera done right. Plot wasn't outstanding and had some hammy moments, but it picks you up and takes for such a great ride, it's impossible not to love it :boldblue:

    And I say the same for Star Trek, plot on the whole is pretty meh, but it's damn good adventure.

    The Motion Picture, however is different. Of all the Trek films I think it is the only one to really capture the essence of Star Trek. Not just about space battles, or half nekkid green women, but exploration and the discovery new ideas, wonders/horrors of space. All culminating with the twist in the end about V'ger. Bloody brilliant :salute:

  7. Another Saturday, another movie. Drag me to Hell was pretty good, had higher hopes though since this was a Raimi horror flick. It's wierd, but considering how much Raimi has used some many great special effects, I was a little disapointed in just how bad the CGI work was. there were several points were it would just suck all the impact out of a scene. Nit pick aside, it was good Saturday night flick.
