Nay, all time and dimensions in space…

6

How many dimensions is space?
(If you follow the same reference as I there is an answer…)

7

There are only ten dimensions (floored though this is :!:slight_smile:

8

I was more thinking about this (from 8:15) - there’s 5 dimensions (at least) and the fifth one is for space!

This poster is pretty freakin’ sick.

That’s an awesome poster. Could do with more guns though.

I saw it at the odeon last Friday. I reallly enjoyed it although, as a note of caution, I can see why some might not. The film is focused more on great action heros facing off rather than plot. I don’t really see that as a critisim though as that is why everyone was excited about it and the action films its a tribute to never worried too much about plot either. The action itself is good fun and I think the much hyped standoffs between various action heros live up to expectations (it would have been nice to have seen more of Schwarzenegger and Willis though). Basically good fun if you like old action films and want to see all your favourite action heros blow lots of shit up.

[size=]Its even got Gary Daniels in it who some may remember me mentioning for his starring role in Cold Harvest. Don’t worry though, they don’t let him attempt too much dialogue/acting.[/size]
