Yeah, but worthy of three Oscars? Probably not. It was an outrage that it won best special effects. Bullet Time's good, but not that good. Buy me enough cameras and I could do it in my living room (well, I couldn't, but the technique's simple), TPM had the truly amazing synthesis between actor and CG.

It wasn't QUITE perfected in TPM, that wa the reason I think. If Ep. II does not win it there will be trobule...

BUt wasn't the Matrix the first feature to use Bullet Time in that way? I may be wrong but I'm sure that's what they said in the "Making of..." feature.

Probably why they got an Oscar then. It's as much about innovation as anything else.

I've seen that kind of shot a number of time since but the Matrix is by far the best.

Swish hardly seems to cover it...

Well, it's quite a simple poster. The face and hands with the ring, but it looks very nice.

From tv to the big screen huh? Well I liked Starship Trooper."When I was younger so much younger than today." I saw movies like Battlestar Galactica and Star Crash. I liked the Galactica series, but Star Crash sucked big time. I bought BG on video some years ago and man is the flick kind of bad. I heard rumors of reviving the BG series, with todays technology that might be interessting.
I think the rumor was about the Appollo guy was in charge now and the cylons were back. Actually I belive it was RC who posted this info, I think it was him?

Yes, it was in Starburst magazine about 12 months ago.
The idea was proposed by Richard Hatch (Apollo) in 1999. They produced a trailer and it did the rounds at conventions. Apparently it was quite slick, despite having been produced on a shoestring budget using Richard's credit cards....
Anyway, as of yet no studio would pick it up and there are loads of ranglings about copyrights and ownership, etc.

Bullet time was used before in video clips, for the Matrix it was the first time in a movie. So like most of the The Matrix, it's not VERY original.
I'm not into sci-fi because of it being sci-fi myself. I like good stories, whether it's in space or not. I used to watch ST and Blake's 7 when I was a kid. There wasn't much else to feed on sci-fi stuff then. Now I hardly ever watch any series. Films I like: 2001, Dune, SW, Planet of the Apes (looking forard to the new one), First Contact, Dark City, Escape from New York (if you count that as sci-fi that is) and a couple of others I can't think of right now.

I was suprised how good POTA looks..doesn't look like Tim Burton did it. AI's going to probably be really good too. Atleast 2 movies I'm gonna see this summer.
A couple more movies I liked..Mad Max and The Fifth Element.

POTA looks like it will be awesome. Can't wait to go see that. We saw the trailer 1 at the front end of Bridget Jones and we were both blown away. I think if we could have got tickets there and then, we would have.
