Soooooo...It's basically Mad Max 2 meets that new film about the angels fighting with Paul Bettany in it?

Reminds me of the many 80's B-movies about good vs. evil in a post apocalyptic earth.

I'll probably see it, has Gary Oldman; that cat is the shit. Easily in my top-five favorite thespians.

Looks really, really good. Takes elements of films we've seen before of this nature, but putting in some new stuff that'll make it stand out. Can't wait!

So, I saw an advanced screening of this today, it was very very very good!!!! I will most definitely see it again!

Here is why it is so cool..... be warned MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD, DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT THIS MOVIE SPOILED FOR YOU!!!

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Hey folks, Hiker here.... I really didn't see this movie. I probably won't be able to go see it since I have a 9 month old baby daughter who my wife and I are constantly caring for. I'm not complaining or anything, it's just that's part of the deal; having a baby to take care of means going to a lot less movies. So hey, if you did end up reading this portion of this post, why not reply to my post by typing, "That movie sounds awesome!!!!!" or "Damn you, Hiker!! You had to spoil it, didn't you!!!" So anyway, now I'm going to write a fake part right here.....But the best thing about this movie is when Gary Oldman [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Heh heh heh. This will be great when people finally see the movie and decide to read my post. They'll probably either hate me even more, or mayble they'll think that my shinanigins are just good clean fun! Oh, here's another line of bullshit....which was probably the best scene ever filmed in movie history!!!

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: So anyway, nice job on reading this, I hope you enjoyed. This will be our little secret. wink

It was epic, my favorite part was when Oldman said: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: The word "the" and "us" because I love those words, which made me ask: [SPOILER - highlight to read]: there's a hippo somewhere in Malaysia, what time is it?

This is more like a religious story with the EXACT art direction of Fallout 3.

Not Mad Max, or any of the others.

Tell me, guys, does any of this look familiar?

Hell, even the clothes resemble the general concept of Fallout 3:

OH, lol, looks like someone else already noticed...and put together better pictures of it...lol

(please log in to view the image)

Edit - Well, after doing some google searching, looks like that was far from my original idea. I'm late to the party.

quote:
But perhaps most telling of all likenesses is the movie's use of a similar typeface to that seen in Fallout 3. Even the slow fade in and fade out of the title and the word "Believe" at the end of the trailer brings to mind a similar technique used in early trailers for Fallout 3...

Got Fallout 3, couldn't get into it. If it doesn't sell on ebay, may try to give it another go.

I own it. It's a good RPG.

I can understand why people wouldn't like it as it's one of the more complicated RPGs. There IS too much of a good thing...

That complexlity in the RPG system is why I don't like Elder of the Scrolls type of games.

The book of Eli looks good, BTW. I don't care that it looks like Fallout3..in fact, I think it's a good thing.
