Stark Reality?
1 of 1 found this helpful Experienced cast. Solid acting. Screenplay true to the series. All good reasons to watch. But I bought it for the ideas - the tech. While "super powers" are fantasy, cybernetics are not. Already, we are seeing neural interfaces for advanced prosthetics. I absolutely loved the graphics and electrmechanical characterizations, the way the suit was designed and built (ha, ha), how a user would interface with it, get in and out of it, the various ways it could be employed,etc.
This movie and its central theme of exoskeletal, cybernetic enhancement of the (human) body and it actually paves the way for a correctly re-done Starship Troopers movie in which similar technologies were central to Robert Heinlein's original story.
Even before this movie came out the US Army had a project called Land Warrior 2000 whose objective was to integrate the infantryman into a battlefield-wide network; piping his sensory inputs (visual, infra-red, aural)to the network and receiving the same from his fellow soldiers on the field and various other "off-board" sensors such as JSTARS, predator, guardrail, scan eagle, etc. The purpose of the program was to give the infantryman and his commanders a complete, "God's eye" view of the entire battlespace. As it currently stands, it's been folded into a successor program called Future Combat System (I wonder if they've simplified it and gotten it light enough and small enough to carry around)...
Not all, but most of what's in the movie is plausibly within reach of near-future technologies.
I also liked Jeff Bridges character, Obidiah Stane (hope that's the right spelling). He reminded me of Christopher Plummer's General Chang in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country; both very well done.
Even if you couldn't begin to understand the engineering and science upon which the story is rendered, you can't help but get carried away by the fast paced action, the special effects, and the fully developed characterization. This movie is a top shelf item of the action adventure genre. If you are a fan of the genre Iron Man is a must-see.
