Previous versions have always omitted the blimp attack scenes, glad to see them restored.

Milla J.! How in the world did I miss she was in that?! I had planned to see it as it looked like complete brain candy but now I must. I hope they don't muck it up with a whole lot of mushy romance crap.

She is? Yay!

Only rates 20% on RottenTomatoes, not too promising.

Keep wanting to see Contagion since everyone on the Internet is talking about it, but it's not out in the UK till 21st October.

Milla J.! - I just watched Dazed and Confused. She was the best actor in it.

She's married to the director (who also did all the Resident Evil movies).

Couldn't be any worse than Ultraviolet (9%!), which I saw in the theater and brought. Completely cliched but oh so fun to watch her kick butt (despite not enough fang flashing).

Speaking of kicking butt, I saw Hanna last night, and that was a pretty decent thinnest-of-plots female-lead action movie. Isn't there a name for this genre?

That looks so over-the-top it's a must-see. Blimps!

I saw that trailer and thought it a parody of modern action movies, if nothing else you can say it is *exactly* the fulfillment of large trends in action movies, right down to it being an adaptation of a popular work.

Milla J serves as a flag to let you know you are watching over the top stylized escapism so you can relax.

I saw the trailer when I went to see Fright Night and my first thought was "Oh god, not another version!" but then I was all "Airships? Steampunk? Clive Owen?? Sign me UP!"

Besides, it looks like Orlando Bloom's hair needs its own billing and that's kinda funny.

Just saw a commercial on TV and Mrs. O says, "Oh, we've got to see that!"

Hard to say no to that response.
