I just read the first couple sentences. It was not good enough for a $12 movie ticket. I'll wait for the DVD.

The story itself is OK. I just cannot turn off my tech OCD spotting of familiar stuff. And the energy management/Newtonian physics have to be within the realm of possibility. Military robots are not metal boxes stuffed with green circuit boards that are connected with ribbon cable and just loosely floating around inside. If they had use the CGI people that made Gravity it would have been much better. Gravity had great effects but a silly implausible story. At least this story works if the technology was there.

Old HP test gear (circa 1975) in the wall of a space station, also primary flight instruments from an airplane. Wrinkles on the outside of the spacecraft and the ablative fabric. Cheap weightless effects. Robots with CLI screens scrolling text. Robots that interface with spacecraft that was built 100 years apart. Setting green corn fields ablaze. Having lots of new tires and gasoline in a dire survival of mankind situation. Farmer just happening to have a laptop, RF gear, antenna etc to take control of a random drone that appears in the sky. Then he guts the drone for a controller for his tractor... Landing only type craft having enough fuel to take off again and get back to a space station. Two astronauts walk a mile or so but it takes a spacecraft several minutes to get there. Something the size of a Saturn V taking off inside a missile silo with lots of people in it. Ceramic tile on the hibernation tanks on a space station and space craft. All of the spacecraft bobs and weaves like it is in turbulence or a rough sea. The relative motion between spacecraft is ridiculous. Flags surviving the wind for 20 years. Other than that it was great. My wife loved it.
