Spoiler Alert!

Aside from the gaping plot hole an nerd like me can rationalize away this movie was great. Especially considering it was the guy who's playing the main character's first acting gig and he add-libed all his lines

When we first saw the mech we knew it was going to be operational at some point. When we saw the mech running around we knew we were going to see the curly missiles. We did not expect the flying pig.


Athetosis - 2009-08-31

Exactly. I expected the shotgun arm again, but then bam. Pig flying out of nowhere.

Unrelated but related (With a minor spoiler): I really thought they tried too hard to make the bad guys villains. There was no moral ambiguity, just "WE'RE NAZI BABY RAPISTS! LET'S KILL HIM FOR MONEY!"

Great movie and all, but, yeesh, that's kinda lazy writing.


Camonk - 2009-08-31

Wait, were the trying too hard or were they lazy? You just don't think Africans could make a good movie. You're a disgusting racist.

This movie's depiction of corporate-owned mercenaries was accurate. I don't know what you're talking about.


Binro the Heretic - 2009-08-31

If anything, the film makers didn't go far enough in their portrayal.

The guys who get into that line of work are major-league evil. They pretty much have carte-blanche to do whatever they want to people who don't have anyone to defend their rights. On top of that, they get paid to do it.

Anyway, MAJOR SPOILER: Seeing Venter ripped to pieces and eaten was cringe-inducing, but highly satisfying.


Sick Man - 2009-09-01

They're corporate soldiers in South Africa.
And you're naive.

I think the point he was trying to make was how one-dimensional the villian (head mercenary) was, which bothered me too.

He was just very cliche bad guy to me, always angry for seemingly no reason at all (for instance, in the scene near the beginning with the ammo), and sometimes down right cartoonish. I think he even said "I can't believe I get paid to do this!"

But I stopped thinking about this kind of thing the third or fourth time a guy exploded.

WEPON

I NEED TO KILL FAST AND PIGGIES TOO SLOW.

When I saw this the other night, half the crowd went nuts when this happened. I guess San Francisco nerds really like seeing Half-Life references in movies.


Camonk - 2009-08-31

It only would've been a Half-Life reference if the guy in the suit stacked a bunch of crates for an hour to tip over a seesaw


simon666 - 2009-09-01

I saw the film in SF, but alas, no nerds at my showing *emoticon of sadness*


infinite zest - 2009-08-31

Goddamnit, now I need to see this Movie?


jreid - 2009-08-31

Remove the question mark from that sentence, because this is an absolute certain fact.

Will you still be making that donation to the ophanage, sir?
