[QUOTE="Banshee16, post: 2416384, member: 7883"] Point to you :) I was trying to figure out why, thinking that maybe it just vaporized organic matter, but unless they were all wearing polyester, that was unlikely. Then I just decided it must be just for drama....it was pretty horrifying seeing all those clothes swirling around in the air. I think there were some inconsistencies in the film, but not as many as some would claim. If you've actually seen people in a panic, or been in a mob, and seen frightened people, it's a lot easier to accept some of the behavioural things in the movie. Some of the stuff, like the working camera and TV crew and stuff I just figured it was because the people with that equipment weren't near the EMP when it affected everything. Personally, I found the movie really intense. Once it got going, it was like "run, run, run". It was easy to imagine myself in a similar situation, and try to figure out what I'd do. I think the main thing that disappointed me was the son surviving. That just smacked too much of a happy ending. Not when just about everything in the area got vaporized. I gave the movie a pass. High Theatre? Not at all. Enjoyable? Definitely...much more than a lot of the crap coming out of Hollywood lately. Banshee [/QUOTE]
