We had those pesky sea bats in the helo hangar on the frigate. Posted by: Winsor« on: August 05, 2011, 01:39 pm »Not going to bother to see it. Supposedly there are no real apes in the entire movie. When CGI takes over on everything, I lose interest.

...on a different note, I now got Final Countdown stuck in my head. Posted by: Medium Rare« on: August 05, 2011, 01:02 pm »I allegedly use to take pictures of the west bank of the ditch. Gun emplacements galore. Leaving the Gulf was always a reason to celebrate. I hated it there, especially riding back and forth across the Straits of Hormuz.

It's super cheesy, but some of the best sci-fi is (Starship Troopers, anyone?). I also liked Starship Trooper. I'd like to see Time Enough For Love or Stranger In A Strange Land be made into movies. When I was on the Nimitz, Final Countdown was on at least once a week. The ship received a copy from the producers after they finished filming.

It's super cheesy, but some of the best sci-fi is (Starship Troopers, anyone?). I agree. But I do like the movie. Unfortunately between Top Gun and Starship Troopers are the most common movies the boat showed while was deployments. It's going to take me 10 years to watch those movies again.

The only scene worthy in that last one was the chase leading up to the deadly ant stampede. The rest was pretty bad. But, that's not too shocking.
Posted by: McAvoy« on: July 25, 2011, 02:54 pm »I can watch that part. I generally do not like CGI placed all over the place in movies.
I watched the last Indiana Jones movie last night for example. In the opening where in the previous three we see a mountain representing Paramount. Well in the last movie was a CGI mound of dirt with I think groundhogs. I mean seriously. Couldn't just zoom out on one of the moutains in the distance. Would have been cheaper. That CGI shot probably cost the movie $100,000.
