S&N: The Rule of Logic 5

What did Kered's ramblings mean? I added that to my list of things to put in the background until Kered was at Sam's house. I turned to Rebecca and we shared a glance. I could tell that she was more than happy for the rescue mission to be half-way done.


I stepped out of the cell and just as my foot exited it, an alarm went off. Rebecca tensed up and then relaxed. It seemed like now that there was a threat she was used to, she could calm down.


"We don't have much time." Rebecca said with a smile starting to form on her face.


"Yes." I replied and followed Rebecca as she started to run. I was worried about the safety of Kered and that the mission would fail because there was only a human protecting me. The other worry at the moment was if I were to be reprogrammed by Netty that I would bring danger to Karma and Samara.


Three M-3s came to investigate us before we got out of the building. While they got out a few shots, Rebecca was able to shoot them down very quickly. This gave me hope that our mission would be successful.


A few seconds after that thought was formed, Rebecca was running through the building and shooting at the Machines that started shooting at us. After minutes of running through the building and nearly getting killed, we exited the building. As anyone could've guessed, there were other Machines out there too.


Yelling out run was illogical since what was to be done was obvious.


"Run!" Rebecca yelled and showed her humanity. I ran after her as shots followed us and she fired back.


I dodged fire and took the hits that I couldn't dodge. I was being very careful not to get Kered hit. Finally the car could be seen in the distance. Stewart was in the driver's seat with Martha riding shotgun.


Rebecca yelled out in joy about seeing the end of the mission, but then the yell of joy turned into a cry of pain. She fell down after being shot in the knee and Martha's mouth opened in anguish.


Finding a fallen comrade to be more important than this particular Elemental, I was about to run to help Rebecca when she waved me to go to the car. I nodded and ran as fast as I could. I turned back to see Rebecca limping at a pretty good pace.


When I reached the car I put Kered in a seat, buckled him up, and took out a gun and shot at the Machines pursuing Rebecca.


"Get in the car, Nazilla." Stewart ordered and I just continued to shoot the Machines trying to kill Rebecca.


As more fire hit me I started to think that protecting a fellow soldier was illogical. Just as I put my gun away Rebecca jumped into the car. I quickly followed her and shut the door as Stewart drove away.


The ride back, after we were away from the Machines, was very quiet. The only sound was the car and Kered's repetition of 'The Net' and 'logic'. Stewart seemed to be staying quiet because he was angry. Rebecca was out of breath and Martha was recovering from nearly losing her sister.


Upon reaching Sam's house we exited the car and entered the home. Mark and Samara had not yet returned. I took Kered up to Samara's room, put him on the bed, cleaned up his wounds, and stayed by his side.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The Body Count/Action
This movie has a pretty decent body count. And by pretty decent I mean a bunch of people seem to go down every scene. What makes this body count good, for me at least, is the action in this movie. The action keeps you on edge of your seat with enough downtime for you not to fall off.

Jason Statham
This movie is Jason Statham kicking a huge amount of ass. And boy does he do it very well in this movie. His sole companion (besides his badassness) is a little girl called Mei. Luckily she doesn't hamper him (except for giving away his position at one point in the movie) and even helps to kill a guy at one point.

A Little Complicated And A Little Simple
This movie is both complicated and simple to explain. It's simple to explain since all it really is about is Statham protecting a little girl (Mei) from different groups of people who want to use her to open a SAFE. It gets a little complicated when you take into account how Statham is related to the groups. There is the Russian Mob that have it in for Statham, the crooked cops that Statham used to help, and I guess Statham isn't connected to the Triads.

Final Thoughts
This movie is a fun movie to sit back and enjoy. Not every movie has to be philosophical to be good and this movie proves it. Safe knows what kind of movie it is and thrives in itself. If you want another movie where Statham beats the crap out of people, here is that movie.

First Response: Safe (2012)

I give my first thoughts on Safe (2012) starring Jason Statham.

Dead Space: Martyr (B.K. Evenson)

Title: Martyr

Series: Dead Space

Author: B.K. Evenson

Released: 2010

Rating: 4.5/5

Basic Plot: This novel focuses on Michael Altman and the founding of the Church of Unitology.


As An Adaptation
This isn't a novelization of any of the games, per se, but an expansion of the Dead Space Universe. This novel stays true to the feel of the Dead Space games. Like the games, the universe is complicated and it gets extremely creepy at points. While the beginning of the novel is slow, there are gory scenes spread out throughout the novel.


Same Last Names
One slight problem with the novel is the callbacks to the rest of the series. I am talking about some characters having the same surnames as characters in the first two games. I consider this a slight problem because any of the characters (the ones with the same surnames) being related to other characters is a stretch. This is mainly due to the problem of characters in the games being direct descendents of them.


Michael Altman
Throughout the games I had come to think of Altman as sort of a jerk. This is because of him being the founder of Scientology in the Dead Space Universe. This book has totally changed my views of him. Through the course of the book I came to admire him and was sad at what happens to him at the end.


Final Thoughts
I had been meaning to read this book for a little bit. I haven't played any of the games (the first two games because I don't have good enough hand controls and Extraction because I haven't gotten to it yet) but have watched Let's Plays of all the games. So when I saw a prequel novel about Michael Altman I had to get it. I am glad to say it didn't disappoint and I hope the third game in the series brings me as much joy.
