Ended up seeing it, it's OK. Wreck It Ralph, pretty much!
Seeing a bootleg Mechagodzilla fight a Gundam was neat, and it was nice seeing the Aliens pulse rifle in there a bunch. Spielberg Schmaltz was in full effect during the 17 minutes he actually directed.
The reference stuff skipped an annoying amount of detail, if they were going that route. It had the 'stuff' but the stuff didn't work like it did in the source material; Iron Giant's parts didn't connect up like they do in that film, the DeLorean didn't have ice on it, the Monty Python hand grenade didn't have the 1, 2, 5 thing going on. If you're going to go nuts on having all this crap in there, maybe actually watch the movie twice I guess?
The Shining: The Video Game was cute.
