Gotta Love Machines using Keyboards!



This movie was so insanely goofy but still its a fun flick in all its discordant
derangement.

The most LOL moment though was seeing the big boss machine accessing the computer with its clunky one arm, hunt & pecking about on a crude keyboard. Where the whole premise of the film is an Intelligent Virus that can inhabit computer systems Wirelessly. They even go about building themselves at the very beginning, yet to access simple data they have to peck away at a crude keyboard? Guess there was no USB or LAN ports huh? Moments like that are just spread through this film but thats the most hilarious.

Also you'd think that Blood and gooey rotten fleshy human parts wouldnt mix well with electronics, and if you were an intelligent machine why would you even want to bother with flesh parts? Dead Flesh parts I mean?

The game Dead Space appears to have a very similar plot to this, also the classic Amazing sci fi game System Shock 2. But I hope they dont have such glaring wholes in their plotlines as Virus had. This movie could have been awesome though, along the lines of the great The Thing.. but too many morons got at the Script apparently. Too bad they couldnt have gotten an actual Sci Fi Book Writer onhand.
