I found this while reviewing sketches for some design studies I'm doing. Scrolling down through the guest speakers' profiles, I came across Daniel Simon, who did some art for Oblivion. The example they have posted is an iteration for the bubble ship. Pretty cool to see the influences of the old Bell 47 and dragonflies to build up the form. It was something I hadn't seen before, so I thought I'd post it to share. Also figured if any Hypers are able to attend the workshop, they might enjoy it.

Just got back from this, really enjoyed it but at the same time was slightly dissapointed. The movie was confusing in parts it shouldnt have been, which made some of the revelations towards the end lack a bit of bite in my eyes.
The cast were great, Cruise, Riseborough (that swimming scene, wow!) and Kuralenko were all very good, and Freeman and Coster-Waldau, despite having small roles, did make an impact and got you invested in them. The visuals are the movies strong point, i'm sure everyone has heard by now but the movie really is gorgeous, the sound and score help a lot with the mood as well. The score was excellent, though not quite as good as the one for Tron: Legacy. The action was very good as well, but a word of warning, its not an "action-packed" movie by any means, there are maybe 3 set-pieces in the whole movie, there are some very slow and talkative parts as well so if you want an action romp dont come to this. The story was quite good, though it borrows heavily from other, even recent sci-fi movies, however the execution was done pretty well, even if parts dragged and the big reveal was pretty predictable. But this brings me back to the confusing parts, what were the aliens exactly? And Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:
For a film full of talking moments and exposition, I really shouldnt have this many questions, but overall I did enjoy it, and it is well worth seeing at the cinema. 8/10. Kosinski really needs some help with his story-telling though, he slows things down too much to get the plot explained in both his movies so far.

You know...if the we ever get a Portal movie Joe would be the perfect guy to direct (and hire the writer from the game).

My lack of interest based on the trailers and plot-line combined with the mixed reviews have convinced me to just wait for the Blu-Ray of this one. I know I'll be missing out on the "Imax" experience, but with tickets being 19 dollars, have to pick and choose. Going to save that 19 bucks for Iron Man 3 in a few weeks.

The Tet was Hal and Sal 9000 evil son, a sentient bio organic computer.

It's similar in pace and the futuristic design aesthetic. For story wise, think of it as a big budgeted twilight zone episode with a lot of nods to the old 60's/70's scifi novels and films.

I also loved how the Drones were made to feel so menacing; sentient and soulless killing machines, like floating Terminators. The sounds used for them were perfect.

I'm avoiding posts in this thread for fear of spoilers. If I took my ten year old cousin to this, would he be entertained?

Hmm, might not risk it and take him to Iron Man 3. He's pretty mature, but not that ready for a heavy sci-fi flick. He'd better be ready for Interstellar though!
