巨人：福宾计划

　　1970美国科幻惊悚片《巨人：福宾计划》由约瑟夫·萨金特导演，艾瑞克·布里登主演，影片讲述的是：
Eric Braeden stars as Dr Charles Forbin who has created a supercomputer named Colossus built solely for the purpose of controlling the nuclear defenses of the Western alliance It isnt too long after however that the Russians announce that they too have built a similar computer for those same purposes on their sideGuardian And when the two mach...[显示全部]ines begin sharing information at a speed nobody can believe an attempt is made to disable them
This unfortunately just raises the machines ire and in retaliation they launch their weapons at each others home nations The result is a chilling scenario that is potentially becoming all too real these days
COLOSSUS THE FORBIN PROJECT was not a big hit at the box office for various reasons One is that its cast wasnt exactly well known Another reason is that its ending isnt exactly a happy one Still a third reason is that Universal had trouble trying to promote it in the wake of the huge success of Stanley Kubricks 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY The latter reason is obvious Colossus and Guardian like HAL in the Kubrick movie become central characters here The difference here is that while HAL malfunctions due to a programming conflict Colossus and Guardian remain all too stable convinced beyond a doubt that they know how to protect Mankind better than Man himself As the computers point out One inevitable rule is that Mankind is his own worst enemy
Joseph Sargents direction is efficient and the special effects work of Albert Whitlock still manages to work despite its obvious age An overlooked gem in the scifi genre this should be given a revival
