[QUOTE="tomBitonti, post: 6168700, member: 13107"] I rather disliked it. There were a few alright moments, and some pretty nice graphics. They really should have tied the views of Elysium together better: Connecting the wide view with the tight views was hard. There was a lot of silly stuff ... to an extent that it rather bothered me, when I usually am more or less tolerant of that sort of sillyness: [Spoiler] Flying into Elysium. No roof. Say what? The general over the top of the "evil citizens". Rich evil people can be clever and manipulative, and evil and rich. I would have much preferred a more subtle problem: Say, having deliberately miss-calibrated radiation badges, instead of having him get stuck inside. The box would have an emergency off switch, or a "all stop" on it that would have been thrown before going inside? The possible consequence of the door suddenly becoming unstuck and closing seem too obvious. I thought that two of three of the main characters were miscast. The protection didn't make any sense. You would set yourself to be given epilepsy, or die, if someone tried to download you, but they could still perform the download? Dropping in the brain chip (it was quite large) in would have let to fatal brain swelling, and generally bad stuff. Even if they had really super antibiotics, the trauma would have been rather severe. His recovery from surgery was rather quick. He had metal screws into his bones and spine! Three ambulance ships with like 60 machines each, nice for a small city, but enough for an overpopulated world? Even if there were hundreds of ships, that doesn't seem to be enough. Plus, the machines would reasonably require an expendable resource, meaning, limited uses. The security (launching missiles from the ground??) seemed laughable. That's [i]all[/i] they had?? Where were the robots to provide security when all hell was going one inside the security center. And no emergency bulkheads? [/Spoiler] Anyways, TomB [/QUOTE]
