On D9: on the interwebs movies are either fantastic or totaly suck, there's nothing in between, but thats 14 year olds for you..


Personally im hoping for a Children of Men kinda movie: solid near future-SF with visual flair and not too much bullshit. Looking at the trailer i guess it will be allright: production value is high, the story slightly original, filming style is nicely half realistic shaky-cam combined with media-style.

So unless your into highschool musicals there's no reason to complain. (Yes, something nicer would be better, but well, you got to stay realistic and i think it could be a lot worse)
