So I'd keep an eye out for that. Dreamworks has to be watching Hines closely. I can't even imagine the sadistic laughter over there. It's sad, really. Tony's review said Hines's script was really close the original novel, too. On a serious note, I wonder what happened. <makes thoughtful grimace at my powerbook>

He ran out of money? The "State of the Art" special effects statement was from 1984? Who knows. It looks like it'll be alright in a campy sort of way, but it's definitely not the serious period piece I was expecting.
Well, on the bright side, there's always Jeff's version...

No doubt you're correct there. The live action scenes seem well-done, in a technical sense, actually - and not on the cheap (though shot on video). In the meanwhile, the comments over at Anthony's site have made me laugh so hard I'm drawing undue attention to myself at my local internet café. I told a friend I couldn't even begin to explain.

Not being an Amazon user... Does that mean 126 copies have been sold or what? It's basically how well a DVD is selling, think of it like the UK Top 40 singles or album chart, for example the Number 1 DVD currently is: The Eagles - Farewell 1 Tour - Live From Melbourne and it's rank is obviously #1 and so on. With a few more sales (don't know how many) The Pendragon WOTW film could very well enter the top 100 listed DVD's, blimey

Thanks Amasov. That's pretty amazing really. I guess the fansite buzz is working for PP after all.

For me there are three main scenes involving the tripods that should have been done "well" the first one being the FM very first appearance on Horsell Common, the second is the Destruction of Weybridge and Shepperton and the third is the Thunderchild, it's a shame that this last one so far seems to have been neglected.

Ok now that I can speak again without crying.... THERE ARE BATTLEFIELD 42 MODELS THAT LOOK BETTER THAN THOSE SHIPS!!! Maybe they shoulda hired the Forgotten Hope team to make their ships. If I were Tim I wouldnt let that CGI dept see a cent of the money made from this endevour

The first two are pretty good, not in a big house FX budget kind of way, but it's a hell of alot better than the latter. The whole Thunderchild scene really ruins the forgiveness of the cheap FX work which to me that part should of been a highlight rather than a low. The finished product looks like a "2nd pass" render with no textures added whatsoever. And the scale....that was thrown out the window. I really loved the scenes in the demolished house as the atmosphere was quite creepy. There are no nudity at all in this movie but there is quite a bit of gore. People getting stomped on and CG blood oozing out with their flattened corpse and alot of CG skeletons and cadavers lying about, people blown to pieces, a woman getting her flesh stripped off. If you've ever seen Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow they essentially did the same thing with everyone in front of a green screen and the digital backgrounds added later. It's no where near as good as Sky Captain's visual style. The story is very well done, the acting is good, but not great. Piana does the best work of the lot I think. It's a shame this movie will be remembered for it's really poor FX.
