today, a classic , what is your favorite? ", the current... account as well.

Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) Part 3

[Jimbo1]

I was a teen and thought that was an incredible computer. My kids iPod has more to it than that thing.

[mrwho]

I'd never heard of that movie before - the plot is interesting. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, I need to find it.

The movie I saw closer to this was Wargames, which, in today's world, probably isn't as fiction as it was the day it was made.

[Stirton.M]

If you cannot find it in a video store, being that it will likely be very hard to find...here is a torrent link...

Colossus - The Forbin Project - 1970 Classic Sci-Fi - Widescreen DVD Rip Xvid - 88keyz Torrent - btjunkie

The movie is a pretty good one. Colossus is a super computer that was built to automate the defence network of the US. It soon communicates with its Russian counterpart and the two computers decide arbitrarily to join together and force peace upon the world. Any nation that does not comply will face an annihilation (read nuclear) response from the computers in a totalitarian kind of way.

An old classic, The Day the Earth Stood Still

And another movie quite ahead of its time, The Forbidden Planet. Staring a very young Leslie Nielson and "Robbie" the Robot...

[Stirton.M]

Or this interesting movie, apparently "authentic scientific" according to the intro....

And of course, my all time favourite....AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MOON

*WARNING: Might tickle your funny bone*

An excerpt....Arsenio Hall does this scene...

2001: A space Odyssey (1968)

[TonerMunkeh]

Some of the best science fiction films ever made are in the same vein as 2001. Some of my favourites below:

[mrwho]

Stargate was great, and so were the TV series. Me and my wife devoured the entire Stargate SG1, Atlantis and Universe series up to the end of the first season of SG:U.

Fantastic!

[Stirton.M]

I was not too crazy about SGA...it had a few good stories in it, but it did not capture me like SG1 did. SGU I hated the first half of the season one. It was shaping up to be too much of the same thing story each episode, just insert a commodity they are low on....low on O2, ship stops at planet with minerals for scrubber, low on water, ship stops at planet with ice, low on food, ship stops at planet with food....ad nauseum. I was almost going to drop that show completely, but I think they heard the complaints and the second half of that season, the writers smartened up....

and with that....

and the sequel

and other trailer... same film.

[jma676]

and well. ok ok ok, there are many more to mention, so go ahead, the next movie ...... mmmmmm ... should give more time to mention it, but I wanted to be the first.. indeed, he believed that someone else would do it immediately, but ... did not happen, so good.. this really was a great production with an excellent history, I think.. many agree on this, Thanks the "Wachowski brothers."

So I decided to take a small reference to this film from wiki, because I think my English is not yet sufficiently advanced.

(Just post the first two, so someone else can comment on the third, which in particular I was disappointed a little ... but hey there was no need to exaggerate, the three do, but just never ceases to amaze.)

The Matrix series - trilogy of science-fiction-action films written and directed by the Wachowski brothers.

Overview

In the dystopia the series depicts, Earth is dominated by sentient machines. Humans are grown in pods and are connected by cybernetic implants to an artificial reality called the Matrix, which keeps their minds under control while the machines use the bioelectricity and thermal energy of their bodies as an energy source.

The virtual reality world simulated by the Matrix resembles human civilization around the turn of the 21st century (this time period was chosen because it is supposedly the pinnacle of human civilization). The majority of the films and games of the Matrix franchise take place in a vast unnamed megacity, although it is not the only city within the Matrix, as other familiar locations are mentioned and visited by the characters during the trilogy and the Animatrix. As this environment is practically indistinguishable from reality, except when a slight green tinge appears (becoming more prominent as the series continues), the majority of humans connected to the Matrix are unaware of its true nature. Most of the central characters in the series know that it is not 'real' and as a result can partially bend the simulation's physical laws in order to perform superhuman feats within the simulation.

The virtual world is first introduced in The Matrix. The Animatrix short film "The Second Renaissance", and the short comic "Bits and Pieces of Information" show how the initial conflict between humans and machines came about, and how and why the Matrix was first developed. Its history and purpose are further explained in The Matrix Reloaded.

The films include numerous and varied references to literary, philosophical and religious works. Notable examples include references to the "White Rabbit" and the "Rabbit Hole", referencing Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" along with the use of a mirror as a portal to another world as explored in Carroll's "Through the Looking Glass".

Biblical and historical references are found in the names of places and vehicles in the Trilogy, such as the "hovercraft" named "Nebuchadnezzar". Though it is not clear whether this name refers to either of the Babylonian Kings of the same name, or merely shares the literal meaning "Nabu (god of wisdom), preserve/defend my firstborn son", which could refer to the ships role in the protection of "The One". Another notable name is the City of Zion, often used as a synecdoche for the City of Jerusalem or the land of Israel in Abrahamic religious texts, or to refer to a "promised land" or utopia.
