What's the 3D like? Does it come out at you or is the screen like a window into another world?

Exactly. CGI has nothing to do with a directors talent (or lack thereof). Unfortunately it's a lot easier making a ty eye-candy flick than it is to make a good eye-candy flick. For every Lord of the Rings, Matrix, District 9 you're gonna have a Transformers, Terminator Salvation, GI Joe and countless other pieces of . |

it's the window kind, imo. like Coraline was. |

the 3d is very hard to describe, but i'd say it's more like looking into a window. feels like you're shifting your focus when looking away from the foreground, and everything would move in perspective if you ran to the other side of the theatre.
it took a little while to get used to and i noticed some "vibrating" blurriness in some parts that made the scene look... weird. again, can't really put it into words, but some images just didn't make sense to my brain, kind of like looking at one of those never ending staircase optical illusions. could be because i sat a little close and to the far right, or something to do with my contact lens/astigmatism :P but no one in the seats beside me had the same issues. |

anyways back to talking about the movie, did anyone else pick up the correlation between the head of the army guy and George Bush?
“fight terror with terror" & “shock-and-awe campaign” |

the anti-american sentiment was so painfully obvious haha. i thought they could have made them at least a little 'good' or have a more noble cause than wanting the ore... so jake would actually feel conflicted about defecting away from them. they were all MONEYYY!! DESTROYY!! BURN BITCH from the beginning, and we're supposed to believe the main guy is going to want to stick with them to get his (soon obsolete) legs back?
also it seemed like the other working for the mercenaries, the business minded guy, was a poor man's ari gold. exact same style and wit, and looked a little like the piv', but it just wasn't workin for him. lol |

The cgi was in the first star wars movie, apart from that it was ok. |

I'm not saying "thought-provoking" means that. Ofcourse any number of things may provoke thought on some level in some person, I'm just saying that that is what mean by the phrase in this context. I'm just saying there are novel about nothing much, written very beautifully, and others don't mind the prettiness but delve deeply into difficult subject matter. Both are valid forms of expression just that people shouldn't feel disappointed if either one doesn't meet the criteria of the other. |
Well that's the argument right there. Cameron's intertextual dialogue in T2 is thought provoking. If you have a different meaning of the phrase, it's idiosyncratic.

Completely disagree.
| quote: | | Robo-cop was an enjoyable, ty action movie. If it had better actors and better developed characters, and the plot was tweaked it might have been better.. but without the action it would be nothing. |
Now here is an action film that is thought-provoking in your own terms and you've missed it. Robocop is one of the most savage satires on American culture ever made, built into the very DNA of the film, and I keep meaning to write an essay about it. In fact, someone on TA asked me to last time I made this claim. |

| Yes, I am definitely of mind that Verhoeven was poking and prodding us, same with Starship Troopers. Both films dripped with meticulously concocted satire and kitsch. |
