I distinctly remember thinking that the trailers made this movie look retarded as hell and I never wanted to see it. Too bad for me, because it's an awesome movie. Seeing this in theaters would have been great. People were gushing over it, so I finally bumped it on Netflix and watched it. Really cool movie once it gets going. One of the earliest big budget all green screen movies (300, Sin City, came years later) and the effects still look unique and impressive today.It takes place in an alternate history 1939 with futuristic technology and 'alien' machines invading and harvesting resources. Great visuals and a fun pace to the story. Really cool set pieces throughout - see it if you have any interest in sci-fi mixed with the 1930s.
4/5
Thanks for the review, added to my Netflix list. I didn't realize it was all green screen. I just enjoy the movies and don't think that hard on how they're made!
