Kurt Wimmer, the director who convinced me some time ago that Christian Bale would be the perfect Batman, has created another clean, smooth, Orwellian future. If you haven’t already seen Equilibirum<\/a>, make sure you remedy that. Don’t let the reviews fool you though; it’s not better than the original Matrix.<\/p>\n

The only complaint I have with Wimmer’s directing style is that I’m not fond of the cheap-looking titles he uses; it lends a B-movie quality to the movie that sort of makes you feel like he doesn’t want you to truly respect his film, just let it wash over you and be forgotten. Maybe that is the point, but I think he should get some people like Peter Gifford<\/a> at Universal Head<\/a>, who pointed this trailer out to me, to show him how his titles and captions could stop pulling people out of the moment.<\/p>\n

Anyway, this looks like one of those movies after which I’ll be doing all kinds of kung fu in the parking lot. <\/p>\n
