SPlatter’s movie review:
Wake up.
Ask what is real.
Fight IRobot Storm Troopers.
Rescue Biel.
Save the world.
It’s a fiery-paced action ride with trust issues. Watch it if your hungry for 100% action and a decent amount of facetime with Colin Farrell.
I’m not exactly sure where this next bit came from, but I imagined that a film like this would be quite a shock to the system of an ancient literary figure. So, I attempted to write a review from the mind of a favorite poet. Here are her potential thoughts on this film:
Emily Dickinson at the movies
by S. Platter
If I see a film and it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that it is sci-fi.
In darkened room I waited
Eyes frozen, open wide,
For frame to frame unfettered
Moved time on glowing picture tide.
The characters, half-clothed,
Seemed so happily in love
That I thought I oughtn’t spy them there
In voyeuristic hove.
But they seemed yet undaunted
by my own presence there;
we were drawn in fast by sudden pace
and inoffensive gore.
The future in my present
Some men seemed made of steel,
And women swarmed and mannish moved
Demonstrating how I feel.
To fight for men, for causes yet
To sense the pressured pulse,
I was confused, but centered still,
Made stronger by the rush.
I know not when I’ll see again
Such glow of pace and force,
But God himself must meet us there
When future is past once more.
Splatter: on FILM 
Is that scary scene with exploding eyeballs in the remake too?
No. I haven’t seen the Schwarzenegger version, but I hear that this one is far less grotesque. But that they kept the homage to that one by adding the girl with a unique torso…
Quite a unique review. Could probably stand alone as a fine peice of poetry.
