    I just saw this movie. Wow, what a great guy movie. Two hours of exploding sh- and shooting everywhere.

    I think it would be interesting to find out what kind of themes and stuff the computers are running in that movie, the fake hacker look is kind of funny.

    It also inspired me to think about making a new mod, the computer gear in that movie is pretty interesting and cool to look at. I like the part where the windowed hard drives show up. That's one of my favorite mods.

    Moved to correct forum.

    The trailers have caught my attention. Not sure if I'm keen on seeing a #4 after how much I enjoyed With a Vengence.

    computer interfaces in movies are invariably knockups made in flash or just some fancy graphics demos, purely to look good with no regard given to functionality.

    oh, and, i wanna see this movie too :)

    Ordinarily I'd say it looks crap but this actually looks pretty good, might go see it one day.

    From the trailers it looks a bit too OTT to me, yeah Die Hard was about action, but he was a NY cop in the wrong place at the wrong time, not a super agent. Not gonna stop me seeing it though.

    The scene with the fighter jet was insane, he ends up on top of the fighter jet while the pilot has already ejected, and somehow he survives. I'll try not to give too much of the scene away, but the entire movie is so ridiculous like that. I enjoyed it not because of the reality but because of the ridiculous amounts of action and the comedy (both from jokes and from the OTT action).

    I thought it was great!

    Lots of outrageous action, cheesy humour and bad guys.

    Loved it :D

    Most UI's in films are just animations. I wouldn't be surprised if they were done in flash or something and just some simple AS to pick up keystrokes. Regardless of what is entered the words UPLOAD VIRUS appear. I did like the way some of the windows kind of shifted out of the way when others opened. Nice touch. Not really that practical though :p

    Looks interesting but cant beat the first one for me, want to see transformers as well. I was a little sceptical about how good the latter would be but the trailers have me sold.

    Thought it was wicked, well worth watching. And Kevin Smith is class!

    Yes it might be good ( I want to go and see it), but I doubt it will be as good as the original Die Hard. You can't get any better than having Alan Rickman as a bad guy....
