this is 50/50 its going to be either good or bad

quote:
The movie's title is somewhat ambiguous. Some have suggested that it comes from Pax Syriana, as an allusion to the necessary state of peace between Syria and the U.S. as it relates to the oil business. In a December 2005 interview, Baer told NPR that he believes the title may refer to think tank strategic studies for the creation of an artificial state that would ensure continued U.S. access to crude oil.

saw it...bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad bad. though, people might like it cause it comes of as being "Deep"

Posted by Fir3start3r on Dec-09-2005 23:43:

Hmmm....plot involves evil Western corporations, peak oil theory, all the oil in the whole world in Middle East (of course!) and supported by none other than left-wing F.A.G. members Clooney and Damon.

With a strong, willing, suspension of disbelieve for 2 hrs, I might give it a shot, however Hollywood is never that accuate with world history...
I mean come on, they have to Hollywood-ize to make it 'sensational' and sell tickets! To hell with accuracy!
If you want accuracy, watch, "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room"...THAT movie was a great documentary AND it's true...

There are exceptions of course

It almost seems the accuracy is inversely proportional to the budget...

Actually i was being sarcastic (limitations of text)

Braveheart might be a lot of things but accurate im not sure i'd call it

now if you want a real accurate hollywood movie, check out Passion of the Christ... (again with the sarcasm)

Posted by Lepanto on Dec-10-2005 18:36:

lot's of the movies you guys might be thinking off, just plain can't be set in a real historic period because then certain aspects of the movie will be more boring and banal or something. however, overall alot of holywood movies kick ass history wise. galdiator, kingdom of heaven (though heavily flawed), king arthur was great because it was actually put into history, etc.
