For me it just wasn't an experience period. I played it for like 10-15 hours waiting for it to get to the good part because I'd heard so much about it, but it never did

Just like commercials for Carl's Jr.

Anthem is pretty good though, as long as you don't think too hard about how people that cartoonishly incompetant managed to take over the world in the first place (or if you think about it way way too hard. My personal headcanon is that it's actually in a similar world and setting to Brave New...

That's not a problem in and of itself, but it isn't action driven either The book is great. It has a plot, it's coherent, there's great worldbuilding. I wish that those things had made it into the movie For it's time it kind of is (except for the kaliedoscope thing). My experience has been...

Overrated: Half-Life 2- This game was only superficially related to the first game, it was boring to play, the faces were in the uncanny valley, it had less guns, the revolver looked like a plastic toy, the driving segment was gratituitous and poorly executed, and the opening train sequence was...

Because the answer to those other questions was an obvious "yes", both then and now. Also as stated before that movie's aesop was a non-sequitur anyway. Regular animals can and do escape from the zoo, and the reason why so many of them escaped in Jurassic Park wasn't because they were...

Jurassic Park was more of a PSA about badly designed zoos. The core of the actual plot is really no different from that incident in 2007 in San Francisco where the tiger got out of the zoo and ate that guy. The dinosaur angle is just set dressing.

I love the goofy cartoon dragon in the third pic

Jedha city looked really wonky though. It exploded normally in the view from space but then on the ground it was like the explosion was in slow motion but everytning else was normal speed. It reminded me of that one Invader Zim episode where he puts the explosion in a slow time field and...

so like the boat from The Poseidon Adventure

Still relatively straightforward biologically. Just two yes or no check boxes rather that one this or that checkbox. Maybe add a "can change?" checkbox for each of them. That's what, 16 options. (Unless you're talking about fungal mating strains, but it's arguable whether or not those fit the...

I immediately thought of the line of Jurassic Park where they padded everything out with frog DNA

The Festival - Toon spoof of HPL's "The Festival" where instead of being made of thousands of worms the big reveal at the end is that everybody is three kids in a trenchcoat Cenozoic Park modern adventure in non-fantastical setting. It's exactly the plot of Jurassic Park except that the animals...

A lot of things in blockbuster movies don't even feel plausible in the movie. Like the Naboo thing from earlier. (And physics in Star Wars in in general now that I think of it, like the tiny star in episode 7, or how long it took Jedha to explode)

That's not in the same category because it's part of the premise of the setting that neat symmetircal "a mates with b and b mates with c so a mates with c" relationships. That's already a little bit true in the real world, but in the fantasy world dragons and fiends and celestials throw it...

Wait!? Are you measuring strength as lifting capacity divided by body weight??????

"If an animal were isometrically scaled up by a considerable amount, its relative muscular strength would be severely reduced" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square%E2%80%93cube_law

Plus due to the square cube law net strength is going to be lower for the larger creature of similar build. Similar to how an ant the size of a dog would have less carrying capacity than a regular ant due to its weight because its weight increases disproportionally fast The assumption of...

Did this planet have normal outer layers? or is your point here more that a gravitationally bound planet made of entirely of water would have a core of either supercritical fluid or Ice-10(?)?

Hypothetically the heat could be used to transform some types of organic materials into some kind of charcoal or aerogel, both of which are good heat insulators. You'd have to choose the material carefully though, as many types of aerogel are destroyed by water ] Thermite and gunpowder will...
