Decided to give this a go on Netflix, Started off being silly and weird and by the end it had entered the realm of bat s**t crazy. :laugh:

 

This is my best film of the year so far 5/5 (It gets bonus points for being filled with beautiful people :p)

Universal Soldier:  Day of Reckoning

 

6/10

 

Surprisingly very good for the billionth entry in the series.  The beginning feels as if Tony Scott was resurrected and had his blood replaced with hallucinogens; very trippy to say the least, but it actually develops into a quite solid ultra-violent action film.

Rush - 9/10 (Absolutely loved this movie, as did my wife. Really solid acting and the racing cinematography was fantastic. This and 'Senna' have given some delightful insight into Formula 1 and really deserve more attention.)

 

Prisoners - 8/10 (Crazy movie with a good twist and some insane feelings of my own family security. Wasn't expecting much, ended up enthralled.)

 

The Hobbit, Desolation of Smaug - 7/10 (Not much to say really. Ending sucked, in my opinion, and I thought the

Legolas bits were more fan-service than anything

, but you have to see it for the full experience. Again, won't buy this until the EE.) 

I was told it was hilarious.

 

Last movie I watched was Lone Survivor, was hard to watch since I've been deployed a few times and see what they went through kept my heart pumping. 10/10 for me.

 

Well it wasn't my humour at all, and I got bored during the whole movie.

it's so ######in' funny.  

 

The Wolf of Wall Street - 10/10. I loved it from the first second to the last.

 

Gravity - 9/10. Very well made and a fantastic use of 3D in the cinema, not sure if it will have the same impact on a non-3D screen.

 

Oblivion - 9/10. A great sci-fi movie with a lot of classic old school sci-fi movies touches.

 

Turbo - 8/10. Great kids film that adults can enjoy too.

 

Carrie (2013) - 7/10. An alright remake. The girl who plays Sue is stunning, I would watch it again just for her haha.

    • Good point Anti-spoofing protection for cloud mailboxes Anti-spoofing technology in Microsoft 365 specifically examines forgery of the From header field (also known as the 5322.From address, From address, or P2 sender), because email clients show the From header value as the message sender. When Microsoft 365 has high confidence the From header is forged, the message is identified as spoofed. https://learn.microsoft.com/en...g-protection-spoofing-about
    • I sort of agree with you on that. I had a telescope - a real hefty thing, although only around 500CHF - that got me so fascinated about the stars and planets. I would stare for hours, amazed that I could see the craters of the moon or the rings of Saturn in "realtime" (quotations because, y'know, speed of light and whatnot). A friend of mine has a telescope like the one mentioned in the review, and the pictures are amazing to look at. But there is something missing for me. I may as well just go to NASA's website and look through their gallery.
    • As opposed to catching bad press because it's the engine's fault? The engine has all the tools a dev needs to optimize their game, Epic isn't gonna hold their hand to make sure they use them. Also, Epic isn't forcing anyone to use Lumen, Nanite or super high resolution meshes and textures. Just because Nanite can render meshes with millions of polygons doesn't mean you should use it like that, in fact, Epic recommends you avoid doing that. Most of the stuttering can easily be fixed by cutting down on unique materials by using master materials, using instanced meshes, generating a PSO cache, pre-compiling every shader before loading the game and also managing what must be loaded and unloaded at runtime. It's up to the developer to set all that up properly.
    • I think it depends on what you're looking for to do, and the time you have to spare. With my Dwarf 3, I easily spend 3-4 hour sessions; half an hour driving to an un-light polluted place, another half hour unpacking and setting up the smart scope + tripod for equatorial tracking, then 15 more minutes mucking around with settings and shooting calibration frames, spending a few hours shooting, merging with past photo sessions, etc. It's crazy how time flies and I often get home later than I expected. It's something I still need to set aside a good part of an evening to do, all in all. For one session, where you often need like four for best results when it comes to deep space objects. Even with a smart scope like Dwarf 3, regular non-astro photography is still way more approachable to people getting into photography. I find this is a time consuming niche no matter how I go about it. With practice, I can probably begin cutting time here but I think where smart scopes find their home is among people who love to shoot the night sky but don't have the spare time to go deep with the "navigator level" attunement to the night sky itself in addition to everything else. Having said this, _if_ you have even more time to spend on this hobby, it will probably be even more rewarding to do it more by hand and learn the skies and the details of how it all works.
