J.A.G. meets Short Circuit with visuals from Firefox

Studio's reasons for making the movie: Effects are the star of a movie and to sell angsty boy-band albums in cross-promotional deals

Crew's reasons for making the movie: An excuse for filming on-location in Thailand and getting what's-her-face into a bikini on set

Coolest vehicle: A stealth high-altitude dirigible that is apparently floating around for any passing military jet to refuel.

I particularly enjoyed the remedial geography visualizations for people who don't know where Blahtikastan is relative to Alaska. I did not so enjoy the heavy-handed moralization about the civilian costs of war; perhaps a valuable message, but this is hardly a vehicle for thought. In fact, it is best if you leave your brain at home for this one.

Biggest technical complaint (ignoring all computer-related nonsense): The real hazard trying to sneak through Korea's DMZ is not guys w/ spotlights and dogs, but thousands of land-mines.

My reason's for seeing the film: It was free.
