Read below for a synopsis:
In the year 2133, a war killed off half the population of Earth, plunging the world into chaos and despair. In OLYMPUS, a utopian city-state and the last true bastion of culture and civilization, the ESWAT police force holds the peace. The two star members of this Special Ops team are Deunan Knute and her cyborg partner Briareos. Their relationship is threatened when the government reveals a prototype combat clone, named Tereus, who is a clone of Briareos. However, a strange electronic virus begins turning citizens into violent zombies and the trio must team up to track down the terrorists behind this brutal attack before it tears the peaceful utopia apart.
Huh, I’m half enthused and half iffy on it. I think that part that somewhat turned me off was that they still look like anime characters and the video said something to the effect that the film brings CGI to a whole new level…which is kind of a lie. The graphics are good, but nothing that an Xbox 360 or some other super game system couldn’t produce.
But it does look cool nonetheless…I just don’t like overhyping things :P. I’ll keep an eye out for it.
It’s been in my queue over at Blockbuster for a while now 🙂 The series has been kind of hit or miss, but I still watch them all!
Wow – looks great! But maybe it’s cos I don’t have an Xbox 360 or PS3. It’s on my dvd list now!
