My review as well.
I was thinking of you when I read about Parcival's new haptic rig, thinking "oh man, I wonder if MD has read this? It sounds amazing and so close to a reality."
You getting Far Cry next week?
Heck yeah! Though my enthusiasm has wained a bit. I'm definitely excited for the co-op mode and map editor; but then I have a lot less time for gaming these days, plus all the gameplay vids I've seen are making the entire campaign look fairly one-note.
I just pre-ordered my copy. I'm in between games at the moment and this setting has me interested. I've read/seen very little of the game so far.
Maybe some co-op in the future??
a thousand times yes

The car chase near the beginning was jaw-droppingly visceral (literally, my jaw dropped) and probably one of the most amazing things I've ever seen in a movie. The fluidity, the composition, the geography, the juggling of elements - staggering stuff; it seems like Spielberg's brain must have been firing at an absurd pace to even conceive of the construction of that sequence.
After that...I just don't know. It has its moments. I like Sheridan and Cooke a lot. They're good together. Kaminski's cinematography is great. The Shining sequence was cool and unexepected and is probably going to give lots of kids nightmares. But, by the end...I just don't know. The conclusion seems reductive and preachy. I need to let it simmer for a while.

Yes. Spielberg is a better director than Kline is a writer.
