*I Got This Movie on Queue and Want To Know If It Is Good?*


The original Wall Street was played over and over again and I can recite several scenes verbatim. Is this also good? It is getting mixed reviews.

I don't want to waste over 2 hrs of my life on a movie that isn't good.

Thanks!

Good? Can't say. It's not awful. It's going to reflect Stone's ultra-leftist conspiracy-theory views. But you likely already agree somewhat with those...

BTW -- Shia's "clean fusion" tech is a laughable mishmosh of existing half-working pie-in-the-sky techs.

OTC might be made to work on its own. Why attempt to use it to power a fusion engine seems doubtful. If you're getting enough out of it to power a fusion reaction, it doesn't need fusion to be profitable.

And laser fusion itself is hardly a new tech, it's a good 30+ years old already (see "inertial confinement"). As with the 40+ year old magnetic confinement concept, there are substantial engineering issues which have yet to be overcome to the point of breakeven -- that is more energy back than gets put into it to make the fusion happen. Which makes the pointlessness of attempting to power a fusion reaction with the OTC energy.

P.S., fusion is a nuclear reaction. "Combustion" is a chemical one. Anyone who knows wtf they are talking about, as Shia's character supposedly does -- would never confuse/conflate the two.
