just saw the trailer of speed racer. they keep saying its going to be a whole new style of film. however looks like a style ive seen before. cant place my finger on the name of the style…oh yeah i got it. cheap special effects. not that they are bad really just they have that fully non realistic feel to it that i dont like seeing in films.
Kind of reminded me of this classic Huck Finn stuff… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruEJ0xlSSUw&feature=related
The whole thing kind of freaked me out when I was a kid - the kids never looked right against the backgrounds and neither does Speed.
Trailer reminded me of the Lawnmower Man
reminds me of those crappy robert rodriguez kids movies. Lava girl or whatever.
