I took my kid to see Transformers 3 last night... This one is a lot less of a GM commercial, and more of a CISCO commercial! The CISCO logo was all over the place in this movie. Same with Lenovo. Anyone else see it yet? Did you recognise what kind of CISCO equipment it was?
Funny how I can suspend belief and be willing to accept giant alien robots that transform into cars and computers as being realistic... but then the IT usage being way off really bugged me. Like "It's 128 bit binary encryption, this could be hard... but not for me, I'm in!" when "hacking" into a draw bridge using about 3 key strokes while watching random green text fly by on the screen.
Although the biggest thing that bugged me was the HUGE geography mistake. They were in DC, and said they detected the bad guys on the Beltway, then when they jumped to the "Beltway", it was actually a section of either I-290 or I-294 outside of Chicago. You could clearly see exits for US-20 and an exit for I-88 to Aurora. Then after a couple scene changes they're off the highway and you see DC landmarks.
Forgot to mention, a total geek-out moment that I was surprised by, only because I didn't read anything about the movie before going to see it... Leonard Nemoy provided the voice for one of the transformers in this movie. I won't tell you which one.
