Trivia:
The artificial heart shown in the movie is actually a real artificial heart, the AbioCor from Abiomed. However the real artificial heart is totally internal and does not include a battery box as shown in the movie. The latest AbioCors can run on battery without recharging (done via external RF chargers) for over 4 hours. more

Response to "Totally Waste of Time" by Marko, 1 November 2009
7/10
Author: joseph-jenkins284 from United States

This review is on the movie itself, and a rebuttal to IMDb.com member, Marko's review. Marko does make some good points on how the movie is quite action packed, maybe even to the point of boring. If there were a few more explosions, this movie could quite possibly be confused with a typical Michael Bay movie. However, Marko makes a claim that only 18 years old and under will appreciate this movie because it reminds them of a video game. "I can't believe that so many people gave this film 10, they are mostly very young, under 18 so I understand them, but if I want a video game, I play video game, not watch movie that looks like one. From me 1/10." (quoted from Marko's review). I have a problem with those that say something is "bad" because it's for children (< 18 years old), but the way the write it makes them appear to be 12 years old. Grammar is a dead giveaway as to one's maturity and ability to make rational judgements. If you're lacking the ability to make one, then stay away from reviewing movies that you are probably not even old enough to be watching. That being said, I give this movie a 7/10. It's not great by any means, but that's the point. That's all I'm saying.
