@narrator I was just saying you know the comparison is going to be made, whether it should or shouldn't... It's going to happen...

Agreed, @jasdjqs. The director, Carl Rinsch, crafted an amazing sci-fi short. If he brings to this film what he brought to that short, this'll definitely be something worth watching. And the f*ck is with the comparisons to The Last Samurai? That was one of MANY films of it's kind, just the most recent an most popular.

Another film shot in 2D but converted to 3D so they can charge an extra $3/ticket. I'm sick of crap like this.

Better decision to release this big budget film in December rather than February where it would have become the new Rollerball.

@mcleve02 The only one I have any real interest in is R.I.P.D.
