That's why all the "making of" parts that was just some loser in front of a PC for the Episode 1 DVD was so =/

CG is fine, but a little ingenuity with physical effects is always appreciated. Seeing the prop scanner open up for real was pretty impressive.

Another cool segment on The One DVD is when they showed you how they conceived some of the action scenes...first they would storyboard them, then they would make little movies using action figures hanging on strings like puppets (done up like the cast) to plan out the scene. Watching the motorcycle squish scene re-enacted with action figures was pretty funny.

Flop.

It'll probably clean up on DVD, though. That's where most movies make they money nowadays.

Well, I didnt expected it to make any money. Its just not your typical comicbook/action flick, no matter if you consider it good or bad.
