The Summer of 2008 has Started. Go See Iron Man.
Friends of mine should enjoy seeing the movie “Iron Man.” And yes, you should stay until the very end, past all the credits to watch the teaser for the sequel dealing with “The Avengers.”
Despite the hype, the movie delivered everything I was looking for plus more. This iteration of a Marvel Comic book movie worked better than any of the others I’ve seen in the past. The special effects in this movie are a step above anything I’ve seen in a long time.
Yes, Robert Downey Jr. was great in the movie. Robert Downey Jr. IS Iron Man. But in my mind, his unnamed co-star were the technology innovations embedded in the movie. I would give an Oscar to the person who was responsible for developing the next-generation user interfaces and the framework for rapid prototyping.
And while the CGI effects were great, my mind was blurring while watching the movie when I was trying to figure out how “real” the technology used in the building of Iron Man was as compared to how far away it might be given the current-day advances in nano technologies. For all I know, all of this may be closer than we think.
