The Fiction starts almost as you "sit down" in the theater!


The fiction in this move starts out like the novel, with even before the first frame we are given a "disclaimer" and an "acknowledgement" to the governemnt or thank you, all itself complete fiction. The real "thank yous" are, of course, in the end credits - just in case the movie scared the crap out of you! In many ways, it did for some people - in much the same way Orsen wells' Halloween broadcast of The War of the Worlds did for those who tuned in After the Real disclaimer!

RIP Scott, you are still "Unstoppable"!
I'm judging your brain, I'm judging your brain!
