"America" isn't a continent either. It's "North America" or "South America".

Visually it was...perfect. It captured the feelings I got from books like Snow Crash and (especially) Neuromancer of a virtual world. The towers of darkness and light. The story was okay, not great but not awful. It more or less met my expectations story-wise but blew me away in the visual department. I actually got giddy the first time they showed the city from far away. Music was both good and not so good. Some of it was absolutely great and other bits a bit generic. And CGI Jeff Bridges was definitely skiing the Uncanny Valley.
And while I was kind "eh" on Olivia Wilde beforehand I now have a huge crush on her. Sheesh.
If this was a country other than Australia I'd think it was awesome. Now this just seems as a way to further invade the internet lives of their citizens. I sure hope people can still buy private internet, but I doubt they'll be able to.

O RLY?
I don't think this is the first commerical spacecraft. SpaceX has been working on their Dragon capsule along with the lift vehicles.
