There's clearly good chemistry between all the cast members except maybe Johnny, which I dunno, that's actually kind of accurate to the FF isn't it? And that might be fine, we just haven't see it.On the other hand, I really am not impressed with the visual design. I know I sound like my mum when I say this, but a lot of the supposed 1960s elements just don't look 1960s - and I know TV/movies can easily get this right because I saw Mad Men (which wasn't perfect but it was pretty close, according to people who were there). The robot is particularly a case of them falling in love with a design idea (reel-to-reel tape deck as face, ooof) and not really considering the overall design, which frankly, looks more mid-1980s than 1960s. I get that the original design is late '70s, but I feel like they could have done a lot better here and in several other places (Sue's make-up, for example). I'm sure the Youth Of Today won't care and nor should they really, but bah humbug I say.Also this trailer, I hope they're just avoiding spoilers and this isn't the tedious AF origin story it looks like it might be.</blockquote>
