Let's not forget Enemy of the State, where they magically zoomed in and rotated the angle of the image.
WTF?!

(May 26 06, 05:48)shodow recognition technology exists today though
this is the same process that is used to make 3d maps of asteroids, moons, planets etc.
as long as you have 2 camera angles it can be done

You can launch nuclear missles from any bedroom using an analog modem, but only if you know a single secret password (see War Games).
--Great thread.
Enemy of the state scared tons of people into believing at least half the movie was logical and in use.
We talked about it in a college course, dumb people believed the whole thing.

I for one don't believe that filter exists

they were dumb because they thought the technology existed?
wtf are you talking about?!?!
that is an accurate portrayl of the technologies we have at out disposal, just not the way the technology is used
what scares you more, the equipment you don't understand or the fact that so much exists that you have no clue about?

what was the movie with sandra bullock?
the net?
that movie pissed me off at the lack of knowledge in the basic use of computers.

version3,
More of the way it's used. Our professor had some info or something on people's perception of that movie (this was in a mass media law & communication ethics course).
Sure, tons of amazing technology exists, but people really bought into the whole aspect of how they just pull up coordinates and can call up a hi-res satellite image in real time and maneuver it instantly. Things like that. Things that exist but were rather exagerated.

i liked how in that movie (enemy of the state) the data disc happened to be the exact size, and had the same connector as a childs game and could slide into the game port of the portable video game. haah.

Bullock: "damn you again Windows 95! Arggghhh!"
[calls IT Department]
"Brett, it's doing it again, locking up on me."
Brett: "Ah, don't worry, once we upgrade to Windows 98, there won't be any problems."

(May 26 06, 13:37)no. i was thinking more how the macintosh virus she found would not be able to infect a mainframe compuer, and how quite frankly, macs can't be infected like that. or, when near the end she was copying the files to the disk, she hit a button on the keyboard that sped up the transfer process.

Then the 'computer wizz' selects the illegible liscence plate and presses the 'magically make crisp, clear and highres' filter and it magically zooms in to show a perfect photo of the liscence plate.
happens all the time in films.
