Until you have seen Colonel Quaritch in action you have not seen The Space Marine.

RDA and Cameron should clone that guy for the inevitable sequels.

It's always a little disappointing to finish a comic's archives, but it's done. Now, when I come and see you in Austin or wherever I can do more than buy a button and make awkward conversation.

Technically, they're Space Mercenaries. The hero just happens to be an ex-Marine (paraplegia gets you a super-honorable discharge). The villain acts like he's still in the Corps.

Also, the CG jungle is totally convincing.

Would go and see this, but ALL 3D projection techniques I've found so far give me EPIC EPIC migranes, but then most cinema does that anyway, excluding the 2D DLP stuff.

Alas, it appears they have not. Oh Harry Potter shipping days, how you haunt me!

Ach, not Pern! I mean, I understand that James Cameron can direct visuals and action scenes and effects but from all the reviews I've read the plot/dialogue of this movie was awful and the characterizations terribly broad (from actors that should have been able to do better).

Basically, I don't want anybody to make a movie of Pern because I love it too much. *hides*

It's not just the presentation that matters, it's the overall treatment. And here the treatment is uninspiring, especially for a topic like culture clash/colonization that's so much more complex than the movie tries to make it seem.

That being said, Colonel Custard…erm, Quaritch…was awesome, so awesome that I found myself siding with him more than with the main protagonist. And the 3D was good. We sat in the second row at 3D IMAX, and during the cockpit scenes, the illusion was nearly perfect.
