I saw it on Sat. I waited to let more people see the thing. I had to check to see if this was made by the Emmerichs of Independence Day fame. The special effects were excellent, but that’s only form. The movie was riddled with overlapping unresolved story lines. You would need a 10hr mini-series to flesh it all out. The overall theme is that we’re destroying the planet. So here comes the morally superior alien to eradicate the human race so evolution can try again. The first film was a warning to the human race. This was mostly Judgment Day. This film felt a lot more militarized…it was all classified, top secret, need to know, lock down…but I guess we’re better conditioned for that now than we were back in the early 1950s. If you haven’t seen the first film, go see that, then catch this remake.

Interesting Trailer

John Galt has been found

The theatrical production of Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged has had the status of “announced” for several years. Until recently the only person cast has been Angelina Jolie in the role of Dagny Taggart. I’m not sure when this was updated, but Jamie Clay will play John Galt. Mr. Clay is quite a bit older than Angelina and I don’t recall there being a very big age difference between the two characters. According to Mr. Clay’s page on IMDB this will be his first time as an actor. I think using unknowns is a good idea for a movie like this. There are a lot of people out there who are expecting the studio to screw up this project. If they don’t have to deal with major stars maybe they can focus on doing this well. It’s listed as coming out this year. Well it’s February so we’ve got 10 months left. I really think they need to bump it ahead to 2010.

JUMPER: Sliders meets Highlander

I don’t want to give away too much. Those of you who found Hayden Christensen annoying as Anakin Skywalker, well he has redeemed himself. This is a film about people who are able to create wormholes and pass through them whether it’s five feet or half way around the globe. It’s also about some other people who hunt them down. It also stars Rachel Bilson, Diane Lane and Samuel L. Jackson as an evil Mace Windu. I really liked this movie. Christensen did well with this character. I’ve seen him in Shattered Glass, but nothing else. I’ll have to catch up on his other films.
