I saw the movie BECAUSE the trailer looked cheezy, but it turned out to be a pretty good movie (not great, but certainly the best thing in the box offices now and probably for a while to come). Kinda reminded me of TailSpin, the old Disney cartoon, but with more robots and stuff.

The also did a pretty good job with the 30's look and feel, though towards the end the filming style did stray a bit. Also, the camera the female lead was carrying is supposed to be an Argus C3 type (possibly one of the sub types, I one a standard C3 but am no expert), and it does NOT have that big tacky counter on top, in fact they actually showed a shot with the real film counter right next to their phony one.

Anyway, good movie, go see it.

It was beautiful cheese. It kind of reminded me of The Shadow but a lot better on the entire feel of the film. The plot was mediocre action and seemed to just be made up as it went along. I was sad that they only used the really big robots in the very beginning. But the shots and the transitions were straight from 1930's and 40's film techniques. Franky and Dex were what made the movie great and they werent in it enough.

I thought it was really cool.. it had kind of a "dick tracey" feel to it... also, I liked the way they made it look like it was originally black and white and color was added later. Very good movie.
