I dunno. You don't often get to see movies about data feeds. I mean, the whole point of the plot had to do with design and siting of instruments, which made it a first for me and a welcome one. Remember the end, with the brass blowing triumphantly as the numbers cascaded over the displays? When was the last time you saw 'good measurements' as the road to glory in a Hollywood movie? And at the end, where everybody was cranking up to go beat the data into dynamic models, I have to confess to misting up a bit... Fred
