Also, considering the Legendary Pictures is doing the Godzilla re-boot next year I want to see how the CGI effects are done in thei film, and how well they are done.

They take the time to point out it's a brain/spinal link and then point out TWO ****ing people steer the damned thing.

Ok, no. You're right. You're right.

Next time you go for groceries have your wife/gf/bf steer and you work the pedals.

IT DOESN'T ****ING WORK!1!

Because it would take incredible instantaneous transfers of a great deal of energy. More than anything we're currently capable of. Not to mention that the idea of building a mech or gundam or whatever, in the form of a bipedal human, is just reeruned. Stupidly inefficient. You'd waste a shitload of energy just trying to make it bipedal human like. There are infinitely more efficient forms if we're making a giant badass mech. And it definitely wouldn't be powered by two people at the same time. Derp.

This. I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks this movie looks turrible/Barkley.

Some of that stuff could be done with hydraulics. Virtually everything on the sprayer and combine is done with hydraulics. But yeah, the response rate of the pump to do quick motions would have to be other worldly. Not to mention risk exposure of having the hydraulic hoses exposed to maintain range of motion.

I'm as big of a sci-fi nut as the next guy, but this movie does very little for me.

Perhaps you missed the point where they are 'neurally linked as one'. The trailers mentioned it briefly and so far we see them operating in synch because they are bridged. This is why they mentioned sharing memories, etc.

Even if that were possible, which it's not regardless of the level of technology, there's still no logical reason for it. There's no advantage to having two people neurally linked as one, while there would be countless disadvantages. If redundancy is a concern, then you have a backup pilot.

If it's necessary for redundancy, then why would a neural link be necessary? They could have redundancy without a neural link.

What happens when they have to piss?
