Re: OT: WOTW
Well it's not really a sci-fi blockbuster, it's really supposed to be more of a character study of the man and what happens around him. Even with the original book the aliens really just exist as a force of nature to change the lives of the characters so we can see how they cope, so really at the end they just need a quick and easy way to finish it off. Still it makes more sense as a Deus Ex Machina than uploading a pc virus to a totally alien computer system (coughID4  ) |

Re: OT: WOTW
Yeah - But ID4 wasn't serious anyway.

Re: OT: WOTW
Yeah, the ending of ID4 was silly and not very believable. Nevertheless, it was a good movie.  |

Re: OT: WOTW
Yes, but my point was they weren't trying for realism - they were trying for a fun film. I don't mind a lack of realism if that's not what the films about.
(In other words - I don't care if nobody ever reloads in a John Woo film - John Woo films are about millions and millions of bullets and big explosions. ID4 was about millions and millions of aliens and big explosions)
