From what I can see of the quality and proficiency demonstrated in the trailer, I expect more than only SF fans to be pleased and surprised by not only the special effects, but the style and power of the storytelling as well. Also, as an amateur musician, I have to say... wow! How often in independent films do you hear action/adventure orchestration like this? The master of such venues, Jerry Goldsmith - bless his spirit - would be pleased! Well-written analysis, and thanks for the behind-the-scenes details!

probably to do with marketing, but even the year would be nice.

I would definitely give this one a spin in my DVD player, and I would even don the goofy red and blue glasses. I always liked the H.G. Wells book. And I'm tired of self-consciously "edgy" and "dark" movies that "reimagine" the classics to make them as off-putting as possible. Sticking close to the original story and style seems like the right way to go. I hope to be able to add this one to my Netflix queue soon. This new version of “First Men” looks like a lot of fun.

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:16:32 +0000 http://www.filmsinreview.com/?p=3370#comment-28649 This looks terrific, actually. I like the behind the scenes stories, too. The website and Face book page for the film seem to suggest that it’s made for tv and dvd, but it would be better to know for sure. As an H.G. Wells fan I’m thankful that the film makers seem to have done one of his novels faithfully. I’ll probably stick to the 2d version, but the special effects and animation don’t have the usual computery look. It has an unusual style that that's very cool. I would also like to know the release date. Except for that, this looks great. This looks terrific, actually. I like the behind the scenes stories, too.
