Thoughts?

That looks very cool.

 

[Tonguez]

It looks preeminently gameable, much moreso than Fifth Element, it also gives me something of a Sky Captain vibe (is that coincidence)

 

[Imaculata]

That looks very imaginative, as I'd expect out of a Luc Besson scifi movie. But will it be good?

It won't be good, as I'd expect from a Luc Besson movie...

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

It looks promising. Definitely that same Euro-sci-fi feel that the 5^th Element had. Which is expected, considering the source material and director.

Considering 5th element is one of the best modern sci-fi movies out there, and this looks more like that than anything else, I'm optimistic.

About the only quibble I have, and I admit I have not seen anything about the graphic novel, is that I'm kinda sick of the YA fiction genre. Why do so many SF stories have to have a couple of plucky kids out to save the world? We've had that trope rather a lot in the last few years.

Can we please get some SF stories where the protagonists are old enough to vote?

 

[Ralif Redhammer]

There’s a wonderful quote from Sir Christopher Lee about how young actors just don’t have the life experience needed to carry their roles. With some exceptions, I agree (though I do enjoy YA literature and film).

Indeed, looking at films from past decades, the difference is clear. Heck, were, Jaws made today, the lead actors would’ve been 10 – 20 years younger.

Can we please get some SF stories where the protagonists are old enough to vote?

I may be missing something, but I'm pretty sure these characters are old enough to vote.

But I would like to see a little more films with 30-40 year old protagonists.
