Sure, captured...but always escaped or rescued. This time he was captured. For the longest time too. Would've been longer if they didn't do a prisoner trade (which doesn't count as a rescue).Hand of Evil wrote: Actually I've been following some of that future soldier stuff too in Popular Mechanics (and other mags). True, the chameleon camoflauge technology is not that far of. But invisibility/cloaking is still far far far away. (The ability the Bond car had)Being able to change surface color and pattern is different from invisibility. Even though you match colors and patterns with your local enviroment, light still falls on you normally. With invisibility, light seems to ignore you entirely. With chameleon camo you still cast shadows and the surface texture still absorbs light. Bond's car didnt' change colors. It turned near invisible. It simulated light passing through it from ALL angles! Anyways, its not THAT big of a deal for me. I think I would've let it slide if the VR Glasses would've been taken out and the directing stronger. If the invisibility car was the only 'off-Bond' thing about the movie I would still like it.Heck, I didn't even mind him surfing. I didn't mind him disguising himself as a clown, I didnt' mind him wearing a kilt and I didnt' mind that it took him a week to become a ninja <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />. . So I guess the invisibility car is no biggie. I just personally wouldn't have gone so far out of the established parameters (of the Bond universe).By the way Gizzard, noticed how with Roger Moore's Bond he stopped drinking and smoking so much? Make fun of Dalton all you want, but he brought the drinking and smoking back. With Pierce, I think he only drinks. Oh, before I close this post.......can I mention again how charming and subtlely hot Rosamund Pike is? Hmmm.....indeed. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
