    i hate it for all the reasons but also it’s so dumb even if you want a destructive jet pack situation, this is not it.

      have you seen the film “children of men”? it’s probably the most accurate prediction of the world in the (now not so distant) future. it also has one of the best single-shot scenes of all time.

        that’s definitely a great film, haven’t seen it since it came out but it does live in my head over there with the Alex Jones level shit. it comes up a lot on knowledge fight with movies like Elysium

            It’s not great, but I always think of it whenever I see a billionaire running their own private space program.

            really well done movie, technically, and i hated it. ultra violence plus some more. I really like some post-apocalyptic nightmare horror, and that’s it, still didn’t like it.

            edit same guy did District 9, and that movie really nailed it in the same genre
