Amazing film just lovely


This is a great science fiction film.

This flick has only a pinch of sci-fi. Perhaps not even that. It seems like it was produced for sentimental schmucks and bleeding hearts who would never lay their hands on hard sci-fi. It must have made some traditionalist nutcases blame themselves for even dipping their toes in that sort of stuff, I'm sure of that. But perhaps some sci-fi-curious folks decided to dig in deeper, so at least there's that.
This film approaches the idea of "aiming for the stars" literally, in a very flimsy manner which can impress those who have already surveyed, metaphysically or otherwise, the bleak reality of strife in a corporate system that sustains a consumer society. Except it doesn't do a half-decent job at creating a good dystopian world that would expand on that objectively, yet alone create such an organization that would at least have some conviction of success, which is supposed to be a major aspect of this movie, seeing how it's even the title of it.
It's ridden with plotholes and ridiculous character behavior. It has some of the least believable characters I've ever seen.
I wouldn't call it great without calling it a great anti-sci-fi/anti-dystopia film and propaganda.

It's a discussion board. If he doesn't respond then how can I even cut him down, given his original post is so short??

reply

You couldn't cut him down with a katana, much less your dull wit.

Ah, truly a quality post that almost scratches the surface of my intellect, from some autistic person who probably idealizes katanas, one of the crappiest historical examples of a sword, no less.

Stay autistic.

Not sure what that means.

Those IMDB-members who down-grades and up-grades movies by the simple idea "don't like/do like" cannot be taken seriously.

bwana_dick is one of them.

I barely have any 1 or 10 ratings and I bothered to type more than a couple of sentences to explain my dislike for this extremely simple movie (which I still gave a 5), and yet you still managed to come up with this dumbfoundingly stupid assumption?
I'm sorry that you have a conscience of a 5 year old.

... Says the one who constantly blurts out "autistic" and likewise deranged and downgrading vocabulary on the boards.

The rhetoric of a sperg is strong with this one.

Sure, I'll let that be the uppermost ornament of your autistic dialectic.
