I can't wait for this one to come out. Looks very cool to me.

1. Me too

I love the pseudo-1940s look to it, all the fashion and Jude Law's airplane. The city looks cool too- all dark and metropolitan.

2. It appears to be a film that splits the audience right down the middle
Either you think it is the bee's knees or a complete waste of time. I'm betting on loving the hell out of it.

4. Oh, I thought you meant...
... that some would see it for Angelina, while others would want to see Gwenneth.

(Ok, make that in thirds for those who want to see Jude Law.)

And I guess I'm a geek. I wanna see those ornithopters chasing a P-40. :D

3. Jude Law *AND* Angelina Jolie?
I don't think I'll really care if it *does* suck.

5. Looks a lot like a move version of "Crimson Skies"
the Lucasarts PC game. :P

6. I was thinking that too.
I played Crimson Skies on a PC with minimum required stats. It'll be a joy to see something like it with smooth frame rates and with frequent lock ups and crashes.

I've heard CS2 is much better on the X-Box, but haven't seen it yet.

9. It strikes me as very nostalgic futurism, so I'm in.
Must point out, however, that the slinky armed robots in the preview are totally stolen from an episode of Batman: The Animated Series called "Heart of Ice." Not that I mind, steal from the best. Com-pleeeetly lifted.
