synopsis/overview: After a biochemical and thermonuclear world war, only two places on Earth remain habitable: The United Federation of Britain and The Colony. The Federation wants more land for their masses but an army of resistance fighters in The Colony stands opposed to the Federation's imperial ambition. Only one secret agent has what it takes to infiltrate and make or break either side; the problem is, his memory was altered some time ago so that he doesn't know which side he is on and whether or not he is actually a super spy.

recommendation: It was okay. Go see this if you're into Summer Action Movies.
spoiler alert! The "Fall" shuttle would only be able to achieve such a high speed of travel it the hole that it traveled through was a complete vacuum ( somehow, I'm guessing that it wasn't ). You know how when you're on a scary roller-coaster ride it plummets really fast initially to gather momentum for all the twists, turns, dips and loops ... and you get that "funny" feeling in your stomach and in your genitals? Well, then, why didn't the "Fall" commuters get the same "funny" feeling when they were plummeting way faster than anyone ever could on a roller-coaster ride? The "Fall" shuttle didn't really pass through the Earth's Exact Center of Gravity ( 'missed it by many miles ) so that the scenes of weightlessness were pure nonsense! Since there were only two humanly habitable places left remaining in this movie, and neither one of which was the United States of America, what the hell was Douglas Quaid ( Colin Farrell ) doing with a brick of Obama dollar bills?!?!?! In order for his gas mask to work properly, he would have to "grease" his beard stubble first! In the shuttle, he covered for Melina ( Jessica Biel ) by shooting at the bad guys as she made her escape but, when it came time for him to make his escape, Melina didn't cover for him--so ... his butt should have been peppered with bullets!!! Why was the robot's breastplate so easily yanked-off? And, considering the kind of work that they were programmed to do, why weren't the robots designed to be, at least, water-resistant, in the first place? The Colony, i.e. Australia, was still a continent. In other words, if their point of incursion was only at that shuttle depot, they would be easily surrounded and slaughtered by the resistance movement--you would think that they would resort to the military strategy for a planned massive invasion by employing the use of warplanes then warships, and flanking maneuvers, at the very least!
fyi: Do you remember the Hegelian Dialectic that I mentioned in my Batman blog? Well, the dialectic is hinted at in this movie.
Here's a "censored" dual photo of the blessedly-stacked, lovely young lady ( Kaitlyn Leeb ) which I found on the Internet.
"You're gonna wish you had three hands." ( Kaitlyn Leeb )
Actually ... NO! God gave me a mouth for a very Good Reason. Heh, heh, heh .... ( Cine-Man )

word of advice: Reality can be just an illusion.
tidbits: I've been awake for about five ( 5 ) straight days, now! My lower back has been acting-up, hurting me so much to "near-tears" whenever I'd lie down in bed. Standing up and walking around doesn't hurt my back. But sitting/squatting down can give me pain. And lying down is sheer torture to me. I tried Excedrin Back and Body Extra Strength Pain Reliever, but it didn't help at all. I would just doze-off for anywhere from thirty to forty-five minutes. Then, I'm wide awake again for the rest of the night, tossing and turning, getting up to walk around, using a percussion massager to try to alleviate the pain---Anything and everything to make the pain go away; but, to no avail! Fortunately for me, my Delta Brainwave Frequency Sound Meditation helps me to function "normally" in the daytime hours and at work--and, more importantly, behind the steering wheel of my car.
So, today, after I went to Chase Bank in the Lucky's Supermarket here in Vallejo to make a deposit and after I went to Goin' Postal a couple of doors down to pick-up my mail, I finally went to a Chiropractor for the first time in my whole life at 1:45 p.m. In the almost-two-hours that I was at the clinic, all I got, though, was an evaluation, body-weight distribution analysis ( I lean > 20 pounds to my left, I guess because of the pain on the right side of my lumbar region--I used to lean to my right because of my left knee injury ), some x-rays, a back massage along my spinal column and some electrical muscle stimulation down in the lumbar area.
My spinal adjustment is scheduled for Monday of next week at 2:30 p.m. We'll see how that will go.
After my chiropractic visit, I went to Selecta Pilipino Buffet on Springs Road here in Vallejo, CA, to have lunch ( my first meal for the day ) and to purchase $7.00 in lottery tickets. A former co-worker of mine, the Eva Mendes lookalike, was there to redeem her recycling voucher. We greeted each other but I completely forgot her name because whenever I'd look at her at work, I'd always say to myself that she looks like the Hollywood actress, Eva Mendes!
Then, I walked next door to the 99-Cent Only Store to buy some stuff.
And I was off to the theatre to see this movie, after all of that ... where I got a much-needed nap while the movie played. The scene where the couple's flying vehicle was being chased around by cop and government agent flying vehicles was when I just dozed-off. I woke up after the couple's flying vehicle crash-landed! ( And I was awake again for the remainder of the day. )
After the movie, I went to the Dollar Tree Store at the nearby Target Shopping Center to buy some stuff. Then, I went to the Fed-Ex Kinko's to make some xerox copies. Finally, I went to the nearby Admiral Callaghan Lane Safeway to buy some groceries.
I took my nap-time at the theatre as a hint because tonight I decided to sleep sitting-up and leaning slightly to my left and using my neck pillow to prop-up my head. The one thing that I noticed about trying to sleep like this was that my mouth would fall wide open as soon as I was asleep and the inside of my mouth would get so painfully dry that I would have no choice but to wake up again just to close my mouth! This was how it went all night long until I finally just decided to endure the pain and sleep on my back which really was impossible to do, to begin with! So, it was another practically sleepless night for me. ( I know that some Yogis out there can go without sleep for YEARS, but that kind of a feat is not for this particular Yogi. No siree, Bob! )
I can't wait for my first Spinal Adjustment!!! Maybe, a well-adjusted spinal column will help me in my Chakra Meditation, too! That would really make for quite an added Bonus--a blessing in disguise, if you will.
