No and no. I don't like Total Recall at all and if you know the general plot of The Day The Earth Stood Still then there is absolutely no reason to watch the movie, it adds nothing. That said if you know nothing about the plot then watch the movie. The plot itself is great and I thought it was good that the movie got a modern remake but an update is all it was. It is just like when a great, old video game, gets an HD re-release.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
I just watched The Abyss (in full for the first time) which I think has a similar premise as TDTESS: aliens threaten to destroy us because we hurt ourselves. It's also one of the premises of Robert Heinlein's Stranger in a Strange Land. I guess we'll never learn, and aliens care too much.Originally Posted by Abdula
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
