It’s not a TRICK Michael, it’s an illuuuuuusion

I saw Children of Men yesterday, I liked it. For some reason it reminded me a lot of a video game, especially during that one scene in the car being attacked, the little “IMPACT” warning flashing where it was in that way was just too much like, oddly enough, Resident Evil 4, which I played for all of half an hour before feeling claustrophobic and like a retarded 5 year old (I like my mouse too much :P)
That salty old veteran guy on the plane, the one who says “being over there is kinda like bein on Mars.” He did it. He’s the one who blew everyone up becaaaause HE knows that it’s really like over there, and that by sacrificing the few, can somehow save the many (through a US hostile response?), but luckily this FBI team will uncover everything (cuz they rock, duh, they’re all cool n shit) and will save the day, and there’ll be that line in there a la Jack Nicholson in “A Few Good Men” where he’ll go all crazy and rant about how everyone [CIA?] is foolish and blah blah blah and I did this to help. Then he gets arrested and stuffed into a black SUV and the FBI team drops some witty one-liner a la CSI.
I hope I’m wrong, because then it might be worth seeing.

eh, my friends didn’t like Children of Men. It wasn’t all they thought it was or could be. They have high expectations. I liked it, thought it was good and it was exactly what I thought it was, more the most part.
and i can’t believe you got “claustrophobic” from RE4…

I just found myself too often going into a house, or a shack, and turning around only because a zombie was RIGHT behind me. It’s like playing a game where you can swap between third and first person, only you have no camera controls and the devs set the camera/game scale at exactly the right angle to make you totally wish you were in FPS to shoot straight, yet you’re stuck in a Third person perspective and can’t move the camera out for that view on the back.
