Digging a tunnel
- The Brightwood Data center is five stories underground. That implies some digging equipment and sensors. How on EARTH did the Feds and RIFT dig under the solar panel farm without anyone knowing? They couldn't use heavy machinery. They were close to the surface.
What literally happened at the end? SPOILERS!
- What is the writer's intended ending? I interpreted that cyber-Will arranged all this to reunite with Evelyn. That is, he kept offering her to digitize, but she refused. So the whole crisis was intended to force her to make the leap into digital world and upload herself. Did cyber-Will arrange this entire caper (i.e. from upload to end credits) with the main goal of reuniting with Evelyn?
- If it was just about uploading her, he wouldn't have refused when she tried to bait him at the end. He did it because he wanted to save Max.
- If so, the implication is that the love story reunion happy ending is at the expense of 1) thousands to millions of implied immediate deaths (car wrecks, plane crashes, hospital outages, supply chain disruptions, etc), and 2) undoing the industrial revolution in many ways (i.e. even more deaths and dramatically lower living standards for billions for years)? Is that supposed to be romantic?
- Considering Will is not responsible for those things, it's irrelevant.
- To simplify my question into two concretely detailed questions: 1) Did Martin (Clifton Collins Jr) die? 2) Who is primarily morally responsible for his death?
- 1) Yes, they make that pretty clear. 2) That would be the people who shot him then refused him the treatment that would have saved him. So RIFT.
