Use A Mac! :)

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2012)

Spoiler Checked for Safety... :)
The Bond Franchise is reminding just how old I am. To counter, this film also is fresh and reminds me to be so myself, despite that we're both 50 this year.
It's a pity at a runt is replacing him in the IMAX at the formerly Sony Metreon because the cinematography is wonderful (and apparently specially made for IMAX). Gosh, when did Shanghai get so lit up?
It's wonderful to see so many references and just plain symbols in a film. Old friends brought back, although they would be spoilers on how. The Golden Globes should have given a bunch more nods to this film than the one they did (which if they'll do on sales, they will win).
Issues: Sony tried to hard to showcase their electronics in this film. Compare it to the first Bayformers where they use Panasonic SD Cards and reduced sized PCMCIA devices to move their data around instead of a hard drive, broken out of a shattered plastic Windows system. That won't work with a sculpted Aluminum or Polycarbonate Mac laptop (although removing the HD from MacBooks only requires removing the battery, three screws, and a plate).
It's a pity this is Dame Judi Dench's last appearance as M. IMHO, it is her best, but at 77 to do this much physical work was a challenge. "Licensed to Thrill", a Bond Motion Simulator ride, probably gave her the second most amount of screen time, although I haven't seen it at California's Great America in years.
I found it very odd last Thursday to see this film. I thoroughly enjoyed it. By last evening, I understood why, but the reasons "I can neither confirm nor deny."
Disclosures: Our family fortune is WAY over-weighted on Apple, Inc., but it starts from my being a long time fan. My screen saver is another Aston Martin because I have a family - The Rapide. Photos by Me.
