I think the story could have been better and more interesting.<br /><br />Too bad. I don't think it was poor. I did only find it average. Perhaps i expected something different or/and had too high expectations.LoBohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10681594094980276676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-41318365263404652242013-01-24T11:50:35.621-08:002013-01-24T11:50:35.621-08:00I'm sure it'll look spectacular on blu-ray...I'm sure it'll look spectacular on blu-ray :)Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-79189237084503131102013-01-24T07:02:26.781-08:002013-01-24T07:02:26.781-08:00I just bought the Dutch Blu-ray of this film.

I noticed it was on your top 100 list and then continued reading more reviews until i decided i thought i might enjoy it, so i bought it. <br /><br />Looking at pictures from it and seeing the trailer, i think this will great on Blu-ray. It's also good this film brought something new to the table, and not just used ideas we have seen in plenty of vampire films.LoBohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10681594094980276676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-9381827434040380212007-05-10T22:53:00.000-07:002007-05-10T22:53:00.000-07:00It is steampunk flavoured definitely - it is often...It is steampunk flavoured definitely - it is often in the background. The 50s/60s was more a timeframe. The sky is filled with airships, there is a car clearly with a steam powered engine on the back. The weapon Silus has fells Verne-ian. The slum has almost a Vicorian air and yet a TV looks like it has a 50s screen. Control panels in a brother's science area look quite steampunk and the patients in bed (with the virus) appear to be in a Victorian asylum like setup.<BR/><BR/>Very difficult to put a finger on, most of this is (very rich) window dressing and steampunk was the best descriptive name I could use - to me it seemed to fit.Taliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-71820429825760268852007-05-10T22:38:00.000-07:002007-05-10T22:38:00.000-07:00I've never been a person who thinks there's much a...I've never been a person who thinks there's much a difference between the different cuts. Some people swear by a certain cut of a particularly movie but to me a few scenes here and there don't matter all that much.<BR/><BR/>How steampunk is this, by the way? Didn't you say this takes place mostly in the 1950s/60s? This doesn't sound like the steampunk environment I'm used to. Does it have weird fictional technology? That's primarily what I think of with steampunk.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-35248082141414752762007-05-10T14:06:00.000-07:002007-05-10T14:06:00.000-07:00Mateo, more than a US release, I hope they don't d...Mateo, more than a US release, I hope they don't do anything silly and cut it (as threatened).<BR/><BR/>As I said in the review I've read some negative things about this - and can only assume that the director's cut is better put together. I even read someone saying they couldn't understand why Edgar went off on one - when the film clearly pointed out that he had contracted the virus and it attacked the brain. Either the cut they saw was terrible or (and equally likely) it was written by someone who doesn't pay attention!<BR/><BR/>Coming across a good one, especially a new good one, does make it all worth it. I've been lucky recently, however, in that I have seen a few good ones - still watching the crap as well though!lolTaliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-36688213516366361172007-05-10T11:39:00.000-07:002007-05-10T11:39:00.000-07:00Wow, this one sounds like a real keeper.

I certainly hope this gets released in theaters in the U.S. I think my enjoyment of Night Watch was affected by having to see it on dvd (luckily Day Watch will be playing here - I can't wait). Even if its not this sounds buy-worthy.<BR/><BR/>I guess this is the movie that makes all those bad movies you've reviewed worth it huh ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-66658316610578696282007-05-09T22:19:00.000-07:002007-05-09T22:19:00.000-07:00thanks Dalethanks DaleTaliesin_ttlghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10105263634442191232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23449634.post-86540928788447113732007-05-09T18:25:00.000-07:002007-05-09T18:25:00.000-07:00You're what makes the blogosphere great.
