just got back from the movie too :D heh 30 mins apart today magellen :D

my review:

conservative propaganda


haha, j/k but all joking aside it was very good, but take it with a grain of salt because thats coming from someone totally biased because

1. im totally into utopian ideas/writing(even though i hate books, writing, literature whatever in general) so it was very intresting to me(especially the "boring" beginning part)

2. i love modern design(the whole society lives with contemporary/modern styled furniture and architecture

3. there was an rx8 and that one caddilac concept car there that ripped up the highway

also im also in a tossup to whether it was a titanium or sunlight...hmm someone get a screenshot...

I saw this one a few days ago. Interesting how in 2015 everyone drives 10year old cars :D . Did anyone else catch the quick shot of the brilliant black 8? It happened maybe 15-30mins after the SS/TI 8 shot? Maybe im just crazy. And what was that red thing?

I'm pretty darn sure it was Sunlight silver...since the was a shadow cast on the road making the car look darker...but damn it looked sexy!

yes I think I saw a Black 8

and even another 8 in the distance that was torquise! (did they steal an 06 just kidding)

Pretty sure it was Titanium Grey. I have one now and I've spent hours just staring at it. Anyways it was a good movie...yes it is interesting that people in 2019 drive cars from 2005. It's like if everyone drove cars from 1991 now. What also was cool was the fact that this movie was one of the few to be filmed here in Detroit. When they are being chased, and they run through a building with high colorful and decorated arches, anyone else notice that that is where Eminem and his pals were rap battling in the parking lot in 8 Mile? Filmed on location...and the empty building where they face off, that's the Train Depot. The newspapers made a big deal when the filming crew was actually in town...they shut down the streets for a while.

I think they could have fit at least one more corporate ad in there if they tried a little harder.


The car was Sunlight Silver and I believe there were actually 2 more shots -- both in the 'Jetbike' chase. One, a side-shot, right before it started shooting the truck and another, a head-on shot, as he was heading into traffic dodging cars. The one from the side appeared to be Nordic Green, the other perhaps Black or the same Nordic Green.

I think it might have actually been a Titanium Gray because of all the reflections you saw on that car.

Also I didn't remember seeing any other RX-8s but I wasn't really paying too much attention to the cars after I saw the first one.

I also found it weird that everyone was driving "old" cars.
