Reception
The film was deemed "more silly than sexy",[3] and Nancy Kwan was deemed miscast.[4]
gollark: The names don't correspond to actual dimensions now, though.
gollark: Although progress on that is slowing down.
gollark: Maybe it'll be practical *eventually*. We've got a-few-nanometres-or-so-accuracy fabrication for silicon stuff.
gollark: It's probably one of those things which could be very nice if you could actually make it at all somehow.
gollark: Fair. Maybe there's a gap in the market for better online teaching of this stuff, somehow.
