Obviously there´s a million things wrong in this huge stinker, but which part did you find the dumbest? For me it was these two things:
The supercomputer that talks like some huge nerd and like it was built in someone´s basement in the 1920´s.
The professor who can´t seem to decide whether his supercomputer understands written or spoken out signals. Why are you talking out loud everything you type you dumbass!
Either you are being very sarcastic, or you never saw the original.
shareI thought it was pretty stupid that they used the old payphone hacking trick straight out of the original movie. Especially since I'm pretty sure that doesn't work on modern pay phones.
--Ariston
You do not have the right to not be offended.
Yeah you are right..
You know it was because the original movie, millions of people
have tried that trick. The phone companies lost millions of dollars
because of it. So they later on changed the pay phone handsets.

Falken being so obviously not English, and the whole ending scenes, which almost completely paralleled the original. Little touches like the phone hacking I didn't mind so much, but that conclusion was too much of a copy, as though the writer didn't even try to think of doing something different.
share"Or the power grid shutdown...
How would turning off the power help injecting spyware? Whoever wrote this scene is beyond stupid."
Actually, you don't understand what happened. RIPLEY rigged the computer and then forced the PC to restart by shutting the power down in the area and boot into a RIPLEY OS. Though I agree shutting down the power in the area for that is over-the-top when they could've simply forced that OS Dialog that automatically restarts the computer after 50 seconds.
An 80's super computer with the ability and power to defeat a modern day supercomputer.
That's like saying my old 386 from 1989 could beat my intel centrino.
Joshua didn't have the ability or power to defeat Ripley, you retard. If you were paying any attention to the movie, you would have noticed how Ripley stomped Joshua a new schithole when they were playing all their games on screen ending in Joshua telling the professor that the game is lost. Ripley defeated herself by targetting herself for destruction which she couldn't go through with.
shareWELL! Yeah it could be done since most computers rely on actual machine; binary format & hexadecimal code rather than actual software's code. Its all ON & OFF to a computer anyway. The difference is one would be able to do this a lot faster thats about it.
And as for the movies such as, "Wargames: the original", "Hackers" and this one included ...it was not just one little antiqated computer against the big bad supercomputer... it was really a multitude of computers plus users which kept supercomputer busy tasking while: TIC-TAC-TOE game played out/while GARBAGE FILE was extacted/while "JOSHUA" code was loaded... that what really beat the big bada$$ computer. If You could gain control over the actual source code YOU could gain control over the machine no matter have fast it ran its programs. You could even force that machine to run slower to gain an edge. Hardware only does what the software tells it to do ...but machine code controls the machine's hardware. Inside every little processor lives a 386/486 computer. Multiple 386/486s live in today's speedy processors and with every full-size computer since they began... miniaturized in succession into the size of a common postage stamp.

I'd have to say the crosswalk scene...
1. Who the *beep* doesn't look first? 2. Who the *beep* relys on those anyways, considering people are always making right turns.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: 1) Have YOU every been to a major city??? ...like New York , nobody pays any real attention to lights, crosswalks or "DO NOT WALK signals especially during rush hour.
2) not everywhere on the planet are You able to make such a right turn, as You asked or is it even legal to make a right turn at all. Most major cities do not allow for turns against the actual traffic signal, indicated by notification by a posting of signage or the applicable local traffic laws.

Or the power grid shutdown...
How would turning off the power help injecting spyware? Whoever wrote this scene is beyond stupid.

Most viral infections happens with a rebooting of the system in order to load within the BOOT SECTOR of the target computer. Most viruses load this way ...with the newly adopted scrpting languages nowadays this approach maybe odd however it is heavily advantaged by not having to contend with an Antiviral/Spyware application removal if it is able to mask itself before it is found out. If You ever contended Gatorware You'll get the idea. It the most expedient and plausible way to load the culprit.

Aholejones, obviously you do not know anything about computers or their history.
In 1980's computers were all numeric analog. Computer voicing was in analog transmission, synthised through the begining workings of MiDi. They used very little memory, because they had little memory to work on. None of the Gigabyte crap we all have on this PCs.
I use to work on "supercomputers" - if you want to call them that, back in the 80s. The big mega computers worked far better and much more reliable than todays MAC or PC. It rarely or never ever crashes or gives you a blue screen of death. Sigh! Realistically, computers were much better then - without the video card or game card.
