I have tried to add Philip K. Dick as a writer on this one, since he wrote the original short story, and he was credited in the 1990 movie, but he gets no credit on this. The whole concept of memory implants is originated in the short story, We can remember it for you, Wholesale" by Dick. The twists in the original short story - though less than 50 pages - is far more complex and amazing than either of the movies, or any of the series built from this.

The performances are mostly excellent. The women are astounding, and Bokeem Woodbine does an excellent job. Cranston goes above and beyond in this one, though Colin seems to rely greatly upon his star power instead of his talent. The visuals are amazing, right down to the interactive tattoos.

Enjoy!

The failure to know anything about how the Army does things only begins when we look at the stars on the General's shoulders.

When they were talking about "fire everything" and they got a few dozen missiles the lack on military knowledge was glaring. There is this piece of hardware called "Puff the Magic Dragon" which is a highly loaded aircraft that can pick an altitude, set an angle of wings and a circumference of a turn, and fire TONS of ordinance into a confined area on the ground. That area can be as small as a house and yard in an ordinary American neighborhood, or as large as three or four football fields, and there can be enough damage to the area that a rat could not survive the destruction. ALSO, just because they can be, there are some at Andrews AFB - or at least there used to be - just a dozen or so miles away from the White House.
