sonic 42 Report post Posted April 5, 2016 That doesn't look good, but just the usual Hollywood drivel! Mind you, I could be wrong ... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
caldrail 152 Report post Posted April 6, 2016 Some unexpected symbolism creeping into that video I notice. Otherwise it's modern Hollywood. Lots of BANG CRASH What the heck was that? BIG EXPLOSIONS WOW!!!!! The use of special effects has opened up creative visions in film making considerably. yet a lot of it is wasted on simply presenting an experience to the viewer rather than telling a story (The same issue was raised by Leonard Nimoy regarding the first Star Trek film. Lots of effects - where's the story?). But then, as filmmakers are well aware of, the American audience, their primary market, is easily impressed by fast movement and big explosions, and pretty well bored or indifferent to anything else. It's the same tendencies in fact that drove gladiatorial combat as an entertainment genre. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
