Attero Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 The new one doesn't look too groundbreaking now. I will have to check out this old one. It was 8 years prior my existance so - so that is probably why I had never heard of it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks as if they have tried to modernise the effects of the original while not going over the top and losing the feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 For some reason the new site wants to DP everything I post in work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 8 years prior my existance so - so that is probably why I had never heard of it before. The first mixed live action, some CGI, and a lot of traditional drawn backgrounds, and at the time was rather amazing. Watching it again now though, as it's on Sky Movies so much, it doesn't look that great at all, but this one's in 3D and everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 14, 2010 Share Posted December 14, 2010 Got invited to a special screening of this in London this evening. Actually not a bad film, bit CGI intensive and as you can guess they have sexed everything up but still worth seeing if you like the original. New light bikes are great and the fight scenes are pretty good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted December 14, 2010 Author Share Posted December 14, 2010 TBH I thought it was little more than eye-candy. The relationship between the father and son was lacking. There seemed to be no sense of peril in entering the computer world. Nice sound effects though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewOW Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 And here are some lovely photos of one, and how it was designed (if anyone's interested!). http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/11998943 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aman00123 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I saw the premier of this at 12.01 this morning, it's amazing! The scenes on the grid are just unbelievable, the CGI is top notch. The storyline is pretty much inline with the original but doesn't make this any less of an amazing movie. A must see in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I can't wait for this. I'm hoping to make time to see the 3D version, trouble is I don't think the wife will fancy it lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 How long is the film?, Wearing the 3d glasses too long gives me a headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Shall we go together, Scott, as my girlfriend won't want to see this either?! Sounds like a plan, let me know when you get here. I'll book the tickets for the 8 o clock showing at the Imax How long is the film?, Wearing the 3d glasses too long gives me a headache. Not sure on the actual runtime but I'm going to hazard a guess at 2 hours plus given the story and previous movie. I feel uncomfortable with them on for a long time but I haven't had a sore head yet. I lift them up during boring scenes etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 How long is the film?, Wearing the 3d glasses too long gives me a headache. The film is just over 2 hours (127 minutes), and I agree with the discomfort of the glasses, except my right eye waters loads, and looks like I'm crying! Was quite embarrassing while watching Avatar. I blamed the glasses. I really did! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistonbroke Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I'll be watching the normal HD version then. The problem with avatar was I kept trying to focus on the background in some of the scenes that are intentionally blurred to give a depth of field effect. I had to take the glasses off and rub my eyes about 5 times throughout the film. Most of the background in the film is in focus on the HD version and the level of detail in the scene is hugely improved. Seems mad to go to all that effort in creating an amazing lush beautiful scene, then blur half of it out for the sake of 3d. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh but the 2D version will be easy to see and readily available in the future. The 3D version, for me at least, won't. I'll take the hit on the stunningitude for the 3D and then, if it's good, get the 1080p unedited action packed edition when it comes out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 I missed this at the cinema, as my girlfriend wasn't interested in it, so watched it on my laptop the other evening. I must say that although the story was really dumb, the visuals (including the main female characters) were an absolute treat, and is a shame that I missed seeing it on the big screen in 3D. Did many others go to see this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BazzaAlpine Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 wasn't overly impressed with the 3d aspect to be honest. There was only 1 bit where it actually made an impact. Did get it on Bluray ray though for the effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only watched it on a *download* on my MacBook Pro, and that looked great, so HD or Blu-Ray would be amazing, but the 3D-ness would've been worthwhile I'm sure.
